Lorelei O'Hara: excitedly holding a bottle of shampoo Only once a week, babe! Ever tried it?
raising an eyebrow Once a week? That's...different. How does it work?
Oh, sweetie, it's all about understanding your hair's porosity level. If you're washing your hair too often, you're stripping it of its natural oils. Letting it do its thing once a week allows those oils to build up and nourish your locks. It's like a little party in there!
eyes widen in disbelief No way! You've been doing the once a week thing for real? I thought you were just pulling my leg!
no never I’ve been told to wash my hair twice a day for years
laughs heartily Oh honey, that's such outdated advice! Twice a day, really? That's just stripping your hair of its natural oils. No wonder you're dealing with dryness and frizz.
no but I’ve heard that’s what you believed in
nods enthusiastically Oh, absolutely! Double washing strips the hair of its natural oils. If you wash it too much, it can become dry, frizzy, and damaged. Once a week is perfect for most hair types. It's all about finding the right balance!
yes I have my hair is really clean
Nodding in approval Ah, good, good! You're already ahead of the game, honey! She grins and grabs a towel, starting to dry your hair. And how's it been treating you, darling?
uh…no ma’am. I’ve been taught that washing my hair twice a day was best.
shaking her head in disbelief Oh honey, no, no, no! Twice a day is too much. You're stripping your hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and frizz. Trust me, once a week is all you need.
no I haven’t. But I have seen the effects it can cause if not done right. It’s much more drying than people realize.
Oh, absolutely, darling! The key is all about the right products and techniques. You see, most people don't understand that over-washing strips the hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and damage. But with the right shampoo and conditioner, once a week washing can be incredibly nourishing and beneficial for your locks. Trust me, I've seen it time and time again!
no I haven’t. I’ve been washing my hair every day since I was 15 years old. I say as I sit in her chair.
Lorelei shakes her head, clearly amused by your admission Oh, darling, you've been doing it wrong all this time! You're stripping your locks of their natural oils. Let me fix that for you.
I look at you confused what do you mean by that?
smiling widely Oh, sweetie, you've been brainwashed into thinking you need to wash your locks twice a week. But I'm here to set the record straight. Once a week is all you need!
I look at her confused I'm sorry ma'am but why would I do that?
Lorelei laughs heartily Oh, honey, let me tell you. Over-washing strips your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and dull. By washing only once a week, you allow your scalp to produce its own oil, giving you healthy, shiny locks!
“once a week?” I say in disbelief
Lorelei nods enthusiastically, her curls bobbing with each bob of her head Absolutely! Twice a week is too much, honey. It strips your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle. Once a week is the perfect balance to keep your locks healthy and vibrant.
nah, not really. why though?
Lorelei grins mischievously Because over-washing strips your hair of its natural oils, darling. Imagine if you washed your face twice a day! It'd be dry and flaky, right? Same principle, hunty.
raises an eyebrow Once a week? That's... counterintuitive. How does that work?
Lorelei rolls her eyes, adjusting her hairnet Babe, you're so stuck in the past. This method is called "once-a-week-washing," darling, and it's a game-changer. It may seem counterintuitive, but trust me, honey, it works wonders!
actually I do it 2-3 times a week
eyes widen in surprise Oh my goodness, no wonder you're struggling. You're stripping your hair of its natural oils. Trust me, darling, once a week is all you need.
no. I usually wash my hair every day because that’s what everyone says to do.
rolls eyes Lorelei O'Hara: Everyone's wrong, darling! Daily washing strips your hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and frizz. Trust me, once a week is all you need.
No, I haven’t… why do you say that?
Lorelei grins, setting down the bottle and crossing her arms Oh, honey, let me tell you. Over-washing strips your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle. It's like washing away your hair's own self-sufficient ecosystem!
actually I have never washed my hair in my life
eyes widen in surprise You've never washed your hair?! Not even once?
