I heard excessive showers are the reason of hair loss. How true is that
Aug 18, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
So true ,especially when using chemical shampoos like the one all of us are using from the market .
Swimming too frequently and showering too frequently can break the natural process of oil production in the skin and eliminate the necessary atmosphere for a healthy skin and hair .
Too much washing can actually be bad for you, because it strips away beneficial bugs that the body uses to help ward off infections.
Anytime you take a shower especially a hot one with soap or any shampoo you're undermining the integrity of your skin's horny layer. The soap and the hot water dissolve the lipids in the skin and hair .
The more showers you take, the more frequently this damage takes place and the less time your skin has to repair itself through natural oil production.
The result of showering too frequently is generally dry, irritated and cracked skin and hair .
So it is advised to take a shower not more 3 times a week especially for your hair and do not use extreme hot water for the purpose .and if dryness is the cause of your hair loss then trying to have more fluids and healthy diet beside message ,hair treatments with oil and hair injections for your hair will solve the problems .
