T.am “I wash my hair every day” or “I wash it every 2-3 days”? It is one of the age-old issues to which women are subjected and it is not a trivial matter because it affects the health of the hair itself, as well as being a matter of practical daily order.

Wash your hair every day? Yes but…

The important thing is to use formulas suitable for everyday use that are designed to be more delicate and less aggressive: «Frequent washing is not harmful in itself, but it is necessary to pay attention to the choices you make. In fact, it is not the daily washing that damages the hair, but the choice of unsuitable or poor quality products»Specifies the expert better.
Therefore, it is not so much a question of washing the hair daily, as of the chosen products. “Today you can choose from a wide range of products suited to your needs, to give your hair everything it needs”.
For daily use “sulfate-free shampoos, i.e. without all aggressive agents, are ideal that damage the hair, even more if used daily ”explains Giulia Tanzi.
