What Happens if you Wash Your Hair Every Day?

Generally speaking: The main ingredient is shampoo is a surfactant. Surfactants have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, making them great at dissolving oil. If you haven’t noticed when you do dishes: water alone doesn’t do a great job. You need a good surfactant to speed up the process.

So soap, shampoo, they all do a great job of breaking down the oils on your hands/hair, which then wash out with the water. (Side note: You can also use oil to break down oil, but it takes a lot of agitation.) Did I say break down? I meant strip. Surfactants strip your skin and hair of oils, then you add them back with conditioner.

Does that sound unnecessary? Probably because it is.
