Washing Leads to Hair Loss?
July 10, 2008 by Courtney
Between heat, humidity and hitting the pool, you may find yourself washing your hair more often in summer. But does washing too frequently really lead to hair loss? 
No need to panic! Even if you do notice that you’re shedding some strands, keep in mind that losing anywhere from 100-150 hairs on a daily basis is completely normal. If you are concerned about the amount of hair loss, however, it’s best to see a doctor. It’s more likely that hair loss is caused by hormones, medication, stress or nutrition than your washing routine.
Though frequent washing alone will not cause hair loss, keep in mind that dry, damaged or chemically treated hair is more likely to suffer breakage during washing. To prevent this, don’t rub too vigorously when washing or towel drying, and make sure that you condition, condition, condition! Your hair will be healthy, beautiful and more resilient.
