Poor Hygiene

For hair care, poor hygiene means either not washing enough or washing too much.

Often, hair that is shampooed every day will be dry and lifeless as too much of the natural oils produced by the sebaceous glands are washed away by harsh chemicals in the shampoo. If you do shampoo daily, you may want to use a mild baby shampoo such as Johnson & Johnson’s.

On the other hand, those who do not shampoo enough will allow the build up of oil in their hair, giving it a greasy appearance. This is where dandruff thrives. Once your scalp begins to itch, it is likely that there is growth of fungus and bacteria.

As a result, it is recommended to shampoo every other day and to condition once or twice a week.
