It's amazing how much pushback I get against the recommendation to wash your hair regularly and effectively to prevent infections.
How many of you avoid washing your bodies? Hands? Ass Crack?
For weeks? Months???
Imagine if you avoided washing your hands for 4 weeks. All the things that your hands touch.
Now think of how many times you touch your hair? Scratch your head? Pull your hair back?
Dermatologists and trichologists are far more expensive than shampoo.
@TheHairlockSupreme When my elderly mother came to live with me, her hair was almost gone. It was so thin and wispy. I discovered that she was only washing it once a month because she thought that washing your hair made it fall out!
Fortunately my hair stylist told her the opposite was true. Regular hair washing is critical for hair and scalp health. Once mom started washing her hair it grew back in, thick and healthy.
@Myana Hair care as we know it was just starting to be a thing in the early 1900s, and today's cosmetic science was only just coming into its teen years in the 60s and 70s.
A lot of the old wives tales about hair care is from before the 1900s or at least before 1970.
Same era that the surgeons were doing bloodletting (leaching out bad blood)
Imagine how far we've come!
I'm glad someone helped her turn it around before it was too late!
