Trying to get the best out of your hair or human hair wigs sometimes turns out to be a science experiment. Somehow or the other, you never find the right mixture of chemicals to emerge as a supermodel or a superhero. However, some women go to the extreme when we talk about haircare. They stop washing their hair completely.

This no hair wash trend is going from coast to coast; however, does it work? Or no wash will make you look like the Bride of Frankenstein?

Well, if you want to uncover the truth behind this weird trend, we have got you covered. The pros and cons of not washing hair are discussed below.

Natural hair Oil Brings Shine

What do you think when you hear about beautiful hair? For a majority of women, the answer comes that hair will look sleek and shiny. However, frequent hair washing takes out much of your hair shine.

When you do not wash your hair, you give room to natural oils in your hair time to remain there and do their magic. But oil might need support of a boar brush to give the shine in your hair.

Say Goodbye to Dry

Here’s a bizarre paradox: have you observed that hair washing can make it feel and look drier? That’s due to the same hair oil (technical name is sebum) that we mentioned earlier.

Washing out hair oil every day reflects that after you blow-drying, it will feel dry all day. However, letting your natural oil of your hair do its thing means your hair will feel pleasantly silky alongside looking shiny.

Obviously, this might only apply to hair or lace frontal wigs that are not dyed. If dyed hair tends to dry out in the absence of conditioner, your natural hair oil might not be enough to smooth it out.

Your Hair Will Not Smell Like Shampoo

You all want your hair to look beautiful; however, a shower does not fulfill aesthetic purposes. The main reason of your hair washing is to… well… hair wash! If you stop washing your hair entirely, you might allow a funky smell all over your head.

Think of your hair as a moisture magnet. Everything from sweat and rain to humidity gets locked in your hair, and moisture can turn into bacteria easily. The bacteria can be seriously smelly if you stop washing your hair.

Smelly hair is not going to happen for everyone. However, this is a case where you must skip washing for some days and see what happens. Hopefully, you won’t pass the “smell” to those around you.

Products, Dirt, Smoke and Dust Will Cluster Your Hair

Do you use several products for your haircare? Until you stop using them, you might stop washing your hair regularly.

Think in this way: unless you wash your hair, all haircare products have to go nowhere. It’s will just keep building up and might even make your hair appear bad. In that sense, your “product pileup” can undo everything when you decide to stop hair washing.   

Remember when we talk about hair collects moisture throughout the day? Well, hair collects something else too, i.e. dust and dirt.

Letting that dirt stay on your hair can make your scalp itchy. However, even if doesn’t happen, your hair may be at risk to store stray dirt that you that you collect every day.

If you don’t care, nasty smells from smoke and dirt may hold on to your hair like the tobacco smell smoke adds to an old blazer.

You Can Start Observing Hair Loss

You probably ask to yourself what the possible worst can happen to you is if you stop washing your hair? The answer is hair loss!

Before you go for hair wash fasting, this can happen if you stop washing your hair and keep and using hair products. This combo can harm your scalp to a point where hair falls start or your hair stop growing.

This isn’t perpetual, and it won’t occur to an outrageous sum. But if it occurs, think about this your warning signal to either discard the haircare items or return to washing your hair.

Painful and Itchy Possibilities

While most women aren’t prone to hair loss when they stop hair washing, however, an itchy scalp is always a serious risk.

Hair loss is true if you style your hair in a bun or as a ponytail. Let’s face it, if you avoid washing your hair, you’re susceptible to wear human hair wigs to hide the fact that your natural hair looks dirty. However, doing so can cause scalp friction, and your nerves can become sensitive soon after you stop washing. To avert the pain, try not style as ponytails until you are carrying your “no wash” journey.

Your hair Color Will Remain As They Are

If you dye your hair, then not washing your hair might help you to retain the dyed color longer. That’s because regular showering can remove the hair color as easily as it clears your hair oil. Quite soon, you will need dye again. Conversely, if you get a leave from washing your hair, you will enjoy your new hair color for as long as possible.

It depends upon you to decide whether the delight of gleaming and brilliant hair merits the potential disadvantages of not washing your hair!

Everyone Has Different Hair Nature

In conclusion, everybody has a bit different genetics and hair. That suggests that some individuals’ hair will thrive without hair wash, while for others no hair wash mantra will backfire.

You won’t know until you stop washing your hair for some days and see what happens!
