At Aube Hair, we are serious about your hair health and we’d like you to know something important that often gets overlooked—your scalp. Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. And the truth is, your scalp might be a lot dirtier than you think. Ignoring it can lead to some pretty serious hair issues down the road. Today, we’re here to help you understand why your scalp deserves just as much love as your hair and how you can keep it clean and happy.
What’s Really Happening on Your Scalp?
Let’s dive into something that doesn’t get talked about enough—build-ups on your scalp. Your scalps are often much dirtier than you realise. How often do you wash your hair? Do you exercise regularly? How many styling products do you use, and are you washing them off properly each time?
Neglecting your scalp can lead to a range of issues, from clogged hair follicles, unpleasant odour and dandruff to scalp infections and even hair loss. Ever wonder why your hair is thinning or turning grey? It could be linked to how you’re taking care of your scalp.
Is Washing Your Hair Every Day Bad?
One of the questions we get asked often is, "Is it bad to wash my hair every day?" This worry usually comes from what we see in Western culture, where the water is hard. With hard water, you need more shampoo to get a good lather and this can lead to over-cleansing and scalp issues.
Here’s the answer: it really depends on the shampoo you’re using. If you’re using a sulphate-based shampoo, then yes, it’s better to avoid washing your hair daily. Sulphates can strip your scalp of its natural oils, disrupt the balance of your hair's moisture, and potentially cause irritation.
If you use a gentle shampoo, such as one made with amino acids or PPT (protein based cleansing agent), daily washing can actually benefit your hair. It effectively removes buildup while maintaining your scalp's moisture balance, making it a great choice for anyone who values scalp health.
We offer a variety of gentle shampoos. Let us help you find the best one for your hair.
However, even with the gentlest shampoos, buildup can still happen from conditioners, metallic ions, and minerals in the water.
That’s where our Purifying Treatment comes in. It’s designed to wash away those stubborn build-ups using Powderplex White from Under7. This special product from Japan not only removes tough buildup but also helps protect and strengthen your hair, keeps it from ageing, and even supports healthy cell renewal, giving your hair a beautiful shine.
Think of your scalp care like your skincare routine. Just like you use quality products and treat your face with care, your scalp deserves the same attention. Be gentle—don’t scrub too hard. Follow our advice, and in no time, you'll be thanking us for how youthful your hair looks. What kind of hair do you want to have in 10 years?
