Yes it can be bad for the hair, it strips the natural oils...in reality most hair types can and should go 3 days to a week without washing, some people can go even longer though I don't recommend it.





But I can't imagine that shampoo is the sole cause of your problem...it could be a dietary problem or even genetic. The best thing to do is see a dermatologist to rule these out. Everyone loses between 40 and 120 strands a day, depending on how much hair you have and its growth cycle. Finer-haired people tend to have more strands than coarse-haired, so they generally lose more. But if you're used to losing around 40 a day and you're suddenly shedding 80 or more, or if your part seems to be getting wider or you're seeing more scalp, you've probably got a problem. Not all hair loss is permanent and it's vital to find out what's causing the loss so that it can be treated. Some of the causes: seasonal shedding, usually in the fall; losing more than 15 pounds in a month; thyroid problems; iron deficiency; and stress.





In the meantime you may want to try biotin or a folic acid supplement that has pantothenic acid in it. You can get all these over the counter at most drug or health food stores. Most stores also have supplements formulated just for growing and strengthening hair. Gelatin is an old remedy as well, that's been used by many to strengthen hair and nails. Make sure you're getting enough good fats in your diet, like olice oil, canola and avocado oil. Also the over the counter topical hair treatments like Rogaine and Nioxin may be helpful in prohibiting immediate hair loss until you figure out what the real problem is.





I took a quick look at what Parachute is (I'd never heard of it) and I see that it's a hair oil...it could be that you're either using too much or you just don't need it and if you simply must wash your hair every day, use the mildest shampoo you can find...like baby shampoo.Is daily shampooing bad for hair?if so what should apply to my hair?
it isnt bad but u shouldnt do it if you have weak hair!! if your hair gets oily day to day then you should wash everyday. I have dry hair and i wash it everyotherday.
if you go your closest salon, like rudy%26amp;kelly, go in and ask for ';Cloud 9 Miracle Treatmant Conditioner'; its only like 11-13 dollars depending on the salon you get it from, and all you so is when you are in the shower with you hair soaking wet use it on all of your hair and leave it in for like 3-5 minutes ( like bottle says to leave it for 2 minutes but if you leave it in for longer it will work even better) trust me this stuff works SOOO good and it is the best smelling hair product in the world!!!! i straighten my hair all the time bc it is sooooo curly to my straightener ruins my hair but this stuff makes my hair so soft and smooth!!!


hope this helps!!
you shouldnt wash your hair everyday, otherwise your hair will becomce dry and brittle. when you have a shower dont wash your hair just in water and when u do wash your hair use conditioner.





a tip to replace what oils you lots from washing is to get your hair wet, get some warm olive oil and rub it in your hair, with the oil still in your hair cover your head in clingfilm and towls and leave for 10 mins or so,


its like giving your hair a moisturise!





hope this helps

Yeah its not great for your hair. First try cutting it down to once every two days then increase the number of days between washes slowly if you feel you need to. Use a daily shampoo and conditioner at first which is probaby designed to be less harsh on the hair.


Also after washing your hair give it a quick rinse with cold water which get rid of any excess shampoo and conditioner so its not as greasy


Stop using the hair cream if its related to the greasyness and fine a product similar that isn't oily


If you need to go out and you feel your hair is too greasy try a dry shampoo which is available in stores such as boots or search online

I wash my hair everyday and I have beautiful hair. Just make sure you use a good conditioner every day also. I like matrix. Also deep condition and use a leave in conditioner.
