How Often Should You Wash Your Hair in Malaysia’s Climate?
Quick answer: In Malaysia’s heat and humidity, many people with oily scalps do well washing daily or every other day with a gentle shampoo; washing does not cause hair loss, and the hairs you see in the shower were already due to shed.
- Oily scalp: More frequent washing.
- Dry or coloured hair: Gentler, less often.
- Tips: Weather guide.
