In her viral videoTikTok user Daniela (@kamelglow) explained the benefits of her hack.
Despite the general rule that she shouldn’t wash her hair too often, she chooses to wash her hair every day.
According to most experts, it is important not to wash your hair too often.
The professionals at Curl Revolution has outlined the main reasons why you should not wash your locks too often.
“When you wash your hair every day, you strip more oil from your hair than necessary, which makes your hair drier and more likely to break,” they explain.
They added that it also increases the chances of split ends because it dries out your hair.
The experts explain that thinning is often a result of washing too often.
However, Daniela reported the opposite effect with her daily washing regimen.
She showed her audience “what really happened to my hair when I washed it every day.”
The hair care professional reported that she experienced less hair loss after each shower, after washing her hair more often.
Daniela also shared that she is experiencing increased growth in places where it was previously scarce.
She showed her followers the “new baby hairs” that had grown thick by now.
Daniela explained that washing your scalp removes dirt, oil, and product residue.
The result is a clean scalp, healthier hair growth and less hair loss.
TikTok users shared their thoughts on the controversial advice in the comments.
The 4 Phases of the Hair Growth Cycle
Hair experts at Philip Kingsley shared the four stages of the hair growth cycle: Anagen, Catagen, Telogen and Exogen
Anagen phase:Also called the ‘growth phase’ or ‘active phase’, is the phase in which the cells in the hair root divide most rapidly, causing more new hair to be formed.
During the Anagen Phase, hair grows about half an inch per month [about six inches a year]and faster in summer than in winter.
This phase of the hair growth cycle lasts an average of three to five years.
Catagen phase:After the anagen phase, your hair cycle enters a short transition phase called the catagen phase. This phase marks the end of active hair growth and separates individual hairs from the blood supply and the cells that produce new hair.
About three percent of all hairs are in this stage at any one time and it lasts about 10 days.
Telogen phase:The third phase of your natural hair growth cycle is the telogen phase, a resting period during which hairs remain in their follicles but are not actively growing.
It is estimated that 10-15 percent of your hair is in the telogen phase at any given time.
The telogen phase lasts about three months or 100 days.
Exogenous phase:The final stage of the hair growth cycle, when individual hair strands release from their follicles and fall out.
Now the whole process starts again.
“I feel like the whole hair training trend was a huge scam. I can’t do dirty hair,” one viewer wrote.
“My scalp is so itchy and I notice that I am losing a lot more hair [out]“Many dermatologists say that keeping it dirty is even worse.”
“I ALREADY SAID THIS! Clogged hair follicles make no sense!” another follower agreed.
“That’s true because I wash my hair every day and the hair loss has decreased,” said a third person.
“I’m so glad you said this, I’m so tired of all these self-proclaimed ‘hair experts’ saying no one should wash their hair more than once or twice a week,” said another viewer.
