Summers have started and with this season also comes the need for extra care of our skin and hair. Due to sweat, both skin and hair become oily and sticky, which does not look good.
To deal with this, many people start washing their hair daily or every other day. However, washing your hair too frequently can damage it. Therefore, it is recommended to wash your hair only twice a week.
