Hair Washing frequency

[gibrass]

Everytime i was my hair i notice a lot of hairs falling out. So I have been keeping shampooing to a minimum (about once a week). But I rinse my hair about every 2-3 days.

Whats the ideal hair-washing regimen?

it may just appear that you loose alot of hair during showering

stray hairs that have shed will usually remain on greasy hair
so when you shower the "already loose" hair will come off on your hands

i notice this myself
if i haven't showered for a couple days
when i finally do i have more hair on my hands than if i showered daily

to answer your question:
it doesn't matter how often your bathe/shampoo

you need to count the many hairs you have on your head
and not the ones in your hands

That hair was going to fall out no matter what you did.

I wash my hair every three days

You can always just wash your hair everyday with luke-warm water and with no shampoo.

I was 2-3 x a week thinking more frequent washing was making my hairloss worse.

My regular barber wasnt around after Xmas, so i tried the lady filling in for him....an Asian lady. She told me i should wash once a day, calling upon her knowledge of chinese medicine, to keep the pores clear and breathing. No idea if this is wise or not.
