In recent years, it has become popular to skip hair wash days in an effort to avoid over-washing and stripping the scalp of natural oils, leading to damaged, dry locks. Some women go six weeks without touching shampoo, while others have lasted an entire two months.
One raw vegan even embraced the 'no poo' method for a mind-boggling six years, using baking soda and vinegar, instead of store-bought cleanser. However, a cosmetologist has now explained that women are taking this practice too far, which can actually be damaging, especially to the skin.
Candice Cooper, who makes videos as the Daily Dish and shares her favorite beauty tips, explained why it's beneficial to wash your hair on day three. 'From a fully licensed cosmetologist, please wash your hair,' Candice begged in the caption. In the TikTok video, Candice explained, 'Anytime you're thinking to yourself, "you know what, I just don't want to wash my hair" - maybe it's day three, maybe it's day four - please, just wash your hair.'.
Candice reminded her followers of 'all of the dust' and 'all of the dirt' that gets stuck in people's locks, and 'all of the places you've been, then you've touched your hair.'.

The comments were quite split, as some women said it was important to wash hair everyday, while others said they waited even longer. Candice warned that hair then goes onto clean pillows with people rolling their 'dirty, dusty' head all over them and contaminating the previously fresh bedding, which would then get onto their skin.
