Does shampooing too often damage the hair follicles?
My mother used to tell me that if I shampooed my hair more than once a week, I would become bald like my father. My mother had luxuriant red hair so she was the hair expert in the family, but she was wrong. Shampooing the hair, no matter how often, has no effect on the follicles that generate the hair. My opinion is that you really don’t have to shampoo your hair every day though – unless you’re a coal miner.
