Keep your hair fresh between washes (even in the summer heat)

Why Skipping Shampoo Can Be Good for Your Hair


Let’s talk about natural oils

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: overwashing your hair does more harm than good. Daily shampooing strips your natural oils and can leave your strands dry and brittle. Plus, it can actually train your scalp to overproduce oil, making things even worse.


But we get it. It’s summer. Sweat, heat, and humidity make it hard to go a day without reaching for the shampoo.

That’s where our Bio-Cleansing Conditioner comes in ⬇️

This non-foaming co-wash gently lifts away sweat and buildup without disturbing your scalp’s natural balance. It’s the perfect middle ground for days when your hair needs a refresh but not a full shampoo.

How often should you be cleansing? 


Listen to Your Hair

So, we’ve said you  shouldn’t  be cleansing every day… but how often  should  you be cleansing?


The honest answer: it depends on your hair.


Some people can go weeks with just a weekly co-wash, while others feel their best washing 2–3 times a week. There’s no one-size-fits-all—your perfect routine depends on a few personal factors.


Take time to really get to know your hair.


Your texture, scalp type, how often you work out, and even the climate you live in all play a role in how often you need to cleanse. The key is listening to your hair’s needs and finding a rhythm that keeps it clean, balanced, and healthy.

Keeping your hair fresh between wash days


The Essentials That Work Between Wash Days

Start Clean: Scalp Detox is Key

Your best hair days start with a clean slate. Make wash day a full reset. By using a scalp scrub or deep cleansing shampoo to remove buildup, excess oil, and product residue. A clean, balanced scalp gives your style better longevity and keeps your roots from getting greasy too quickly.


Dry Cleansers = Your Best Friend

For in-between days, dry cleansers are a must. We’ve got options for every hair type:


Original Dry Cleanser – your everyday go-to

Curls Dry Cleanser – boosts and defines textured strands
Color Care Dry Cleanser – gentle on color-treated hair
Mini Original – travel-friendly and perfect for on-the-go touch-ups

Keep one in your gym bag, your car, or your desk drawer. Instant refresh, no water needed.
