However, over-washing can rob away natural oils and direct towards added dryness.

If the hair strands are overly dry and not cleaned often, they can lose their innate moistness with age. According to stylist Rosi Fernandez, director of Ananda Ferdi, one should wash one's hair 1-2 times weekly. She clarified:
