Those with oily hair may find it necessary to wash their hair daily due to excessive sebum production, which can make the hair greasy and less manageable. During the summer months, when oil production is typically higher, it is recommended to wash your hair daily to maintain scalp hygiene.
Here are five things to avoid when washing your hair:
1. Scratching or scrubbing your scalp vigorously with your fingernails: Fingernails can harbor bacteria, and scratching your delicate scalp can lead to infections. Instead, use your fingertips to gently massage your scalp to remove dirt and dead skin cells during washing.

2. Applying conditioner or oil directly to the scalp: The hair follicles are more open during washing, and applying conditioner or oil directly to the scalp can allow chemicals to penetrate and clog the follicles. Instead, focus on conditioning the length of your hair, especially the ends, and avoid contact with the scalp.
3. Sleeping with wet hair: Wet hair is more fragile as the cuticle layer is lifted, making it susceptible to breakage. Sleeping with damp hair can lead to cuticle damage and dry hair.
4. Washing hair without pre-combing: It is important to detangle your hair before washing. Use a wide-toothed comb or a brush with rounded tips to gently brush your dry hair, lifting any dirt or debris from the scalp to the surface. This prepares the hair and scalp for a thorough cleanse without causing damage.
5. Stepping out immediately after washing: Research shows that hair is exposed to twice as much UV radiation as the face. Going out immediately after washing can lead to increased UV exposure, causing cuticle damage and hair breakage.
