JAKARTA - Caring for hair is one of the important routines in the beauty world. One of the steps is to shampoo, which functions to eradicate dirt and maintain the health of hair and scalp.

However, most people usually have difficulty determining the frequency of shampooing, especially for women. The ideal frequency of shampooing is actually dependent on several things, such as daily routines, condition of the scalp, to the type of hair.

There are no standard rules regarding the frequency of shampooing because the needs of each person are different. However, there are recommendations on how often shampoo can be followed according to the following type of hair, quoted from the Huffington Post, on Thursday, July 31, 2025.

1. Dry or curly hair

For this type of hair, it is recommended to shampoo 1 to 2 times a week. This is because this type of hair is more prone to losing natural oil and is easy to become fragile if it is washed too often.

2. Normal hair

For normal types of hair, it is recommended to shampoo 2 to 3 times a week. The number of shampoos is considered ideal to maintain cleanliness without disturbing the natural moisture of the hair.

3. Oily hair

For oily hair owners, they should be shampooed every day or every two days. This is because excessive sebum production makes hair limp quickly and looks dirty, so it can potentially interfere with appearance.

In addition, to wash hair, you should use products that are suitable for your head and hair. Especially for those of you who have sensitive skin, this must be considered because exposure to shampoo that turns out to be inappropriate can cause irritation, itching, and rashes on the scalp.
