Is daily shampooing actually bad for your hair? It’s a question I’ve been grappling with for years. I’ve let my locks go greasy, perfected the top knot, and invested in countless dry shampoos in the name of “proper” hair maintenance. My hair is fine but frizzy. It’s nothing special, but months in quarantine have convinced me that it’s a puzzle to solve. And while I’ve finally—finally—managed to cut down my hair-washing to twice a week, I wonder if it was actually worth it at all (add in the steep price of Christophe Robin’s sea salt scrub).
