    Honestly, SO many people need to hear this, especially all the infrequent-shampooing cultists. Yes, we get it, you can go months without shampooing. But some of us do need to shampoo every other day, if not everyday, and it’s n o t wrong. Let’s all just do what works best for ourselves.

      Yes. I did the no poo thing a few years ago after being convinced via social media that it’s better for you. Little did I know, I have seb derm so it was bad idea, and now I wash nearly everyday. I don’t listen to social media trends anymore.

    In the previous year, I tested three different well-known hair growth serums. The one that worked the most effectively for me and gave me real result is littlleexttrra reactivate hair growth serum. In just four months, it made a significant difference. I began seeing baby hairs after twelve weeks, and by the 16th week, they were distinctly visible and started to cover the empty area on my scalp.

    I absolutely LOVE using a shampoo brush. I could never get my scalp clean enough without one, even though I always need to double cleanse my scalp. Oily skin + hard water = constant buildup. PS, oiling the lengths of hair before using a clarifying shampoo for the scalp can reduce potential damage to the hair.

    I’ve never loved you more! I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist ( hairstylist) and esthetician for 17 years. In 2005 or 2006 there was a curly girl book about curly hair that was a huge hit. The book condemned shampooing all together and said to only use conditioner instead when washing and you’d have beautiful, frizz free curls. Hair would have less frizz bc it was oily, layered in product buildup etc. Scalps were very red and irritated, lots of breakouts and dry patches. I know all my good life long female friends got it in their head from this book that shampoo was bad. So sad. Shampoo people! You’ll feel great! Promise.

    Wish this came out a year ago, lol. my mom is disabled and I took over helping her shower when she moved. She had so much scalp build up that wasn’t taken care of, I felt so bad for her. A good apple cider scalp scrub once a week for a few weeks, a clarifying shampoo as well as patiently combing her hair to lift the dead cells and oil gently- it was a tedious and long process but it made my mom feel human again.

So, when I had a visit to my dermatologist, she asked how often I washed my hair. I told her what I had been trying.

    A related topic - scalp sensitivity. It’s physically painful to scrub my scalp. I think I deal with hypersensitivity in general (e.g., I’m “hyper-ticklish”). The sensitivity can be exacerbated by Malassezia growth, I think - years ago switching to Nizoral shampoo 2x/week and that helped calm the sensitivity a little bit. It’s certainly a struggle to balance scalp health with fine, fragile, curly hair.

Then add water to my hair and use the scrubber followed with a rinse. Helps concentrate shampoo at the scalp. Color my roots every 6 weeks for years now.

I soon discovered that scalp care with the at home routine such as t sal is maintenance for the scalp after my antibiotic. The antibiotic was a jumpstart i needed to let the routines be effective. They werent mediocre it was just not the right situation kf use. It became preventative and maintenance instead of treatment.

    Thank you I needed this!! I recently tried a sample of a scalp scrub and as soon as I started using I was like ohh no this was a bad idea. It stuck to my hair felt like it never reached my scalp. I have thick curly hair and I was like I’m never gonna get this out. So I will def be trying these tips. I’ve now decided not to waste the sample but to use it on my feet. It may be ok for straight fine hair girls but def not me and my hair. So thank you! Hope my crazy ramblings made sense!! Love you Dr Dray thank you for always keeping us informed and sharing your knowledge with us!

      I’m assuming you might now a lot about this topic since you left multiple comments… I’m hoping you can help me!
      I went thru a long depressive period and didn’t wash my hair. My scalp is a hot mess. I think it’s a mixture of dandruff and dryness but I’m not sure. I tried acv but I could’ve done it wrong. I also used a clarifying shampoo and that didn’t get any of the gunk off either.
      I find it hard to get at since my hair is so long. Maybe I’m wrong for expecting it to be all gone with a wash and in reality it takes multiple times doing the same thing for it to be gone.
      Again idk if you’ll know the answer but it’s worth asking! Thank you in advance!!
      I also have hard water so idk if that’s effecting my outcome.

    I was always an every other day washer but even with that, my hair did not look good the next day. I started using Olaplex 3, amika’s soul food mask (alternate the two) and Virtue’s density booster and now my hair looks really good for several days. I only shampoo twice a week now. I am amazed at how effective they have been for me since I am a low maintenance Head and Shoulder’s girl but Dr Sam Ellis’s channel convinced me to try fancier hair products for hair health.

    The scalp cleansing brush would help prevent natural fingernails tearing and help nail polish to stay on. However, I do enjoy the feeling of washing my scalp (twice) with the tips of my fingers though. The brush is worth trying to see if it is beneficial for scalp and hair care.

    Here's how I saw it. The oil blended with the oils on my scalp, so as I rinsed a lot of it would go down the drain.
    The dandruff that I got was so extraordinary. I skipped right over head and shoulders and went straight to the coal tar stuff. I understand it might be unhealthy but it itched so badly. Lesson learned

    Very informative as usual. Thank you.
    Couple of questions for you regarding hair. This could be a couple of videos 🙂
    1) How necessary are conditioners. How long to put on scalp. How to identify good ones ? What ingredients.
    2) Do you recommend hair mask over conditioner ? Any recommendation for leave in conditioner
    3) Can I just use like regular salicylic acid face wash on my hair (like the laroche posey)
    4) Why can't I just use my body wash on my hair ? Are the ingredients in shampoo different.
    5) I am south asian and I have found that my hair is pretty dry even if I use a good conditioner. And no product out there does a reasonable job of keeping my hair not dry. I have tried expensive products like moroccanoil (which has very little actual oil). The only thing that works for me is a couple of drops of oil. Of late I have started using rosemary oil. I read that there is data to show it promotes hair growth. Any thoughts on this please.

    I used to have dryness, itchiness and dandruff (since college age), then I started Nizoral. Washed with it 2 times, poof gone! I still use Nizoral once a week for maintenance, tho if I just use regular shampoo for weeks, they still havent come back. Felt like magic lol.
    But now first time in my life my scalp gets really oily. At first I thought it was a diet thing, maybe the hair supplements causing it (stopped using them). Also this taught me if your scalp gets all oily, it takes more water and shampoo to lather and get that cleaned out 😅 I started using salicylic acid leave on treatment before shower (like leaving it at least 3 hours upto sleeping with it and washing in the morning). I think it really helped with cutting down the oil buildup between washes.
    I've never been a no-poo girl, even though I have curly hair, had dryness/frizz (all those CGM rules blahblah). No way with the dandruff I used to have lol 😂 Tho I never washed my hair everyday, I mean my 2nd day hair usually looks best anyway. I think I'm just gonna add one more only scalp wash over bathtub as well. Seems like this is the way.
