Keep in mind that the scalp is a living part of your body, and not a dinner plate in your dishwasher??…

?This becomes even more important if you have oilyhair, Dr. Idriss said. You may need to wash it every day, she added, but you don't always need to use shampoo. “Alternating a shampoo wash with a water rinse every other day can help minimize stripping your scalp of oil," Dr. Idriss said. And drenching your hair with plain water, she added, "can be enough to get you to the next day." If you just can't skip the shampoo, Dr. Idriss said, opt for a mild formula that has "sulfate-free" or “gentle" claims on the label, and avoid hot water and excessive scrubbing, both of which can irritate the scalp. As for drying, Dr. Alam recommended air drying whenever possible, "which is the least traumatic for your hair." hahaha
