Should I shampoo my hair everyday?

As all of you might know already that **shampoo** is used to **clean your hair to prevent the buildup of dirt,dust and excess oil on your head** to keep it clean. That in itself can encourage you to shampoo your hair everyday but you should also think of the consequences of doing so. Most of the shampoo nowadays contain **a lot of chemicals**. Some of it are: Sulfates This is the most common ingredient that makes up a shampoo and is also the most controversial one to use in haircare. Examples of it are: **sodium laureth sulfate**, **ammonium lauryl sulfate**, **sodium trideceth sulfate and etc.** Its main focus is to **strip away the oil and dirt from the hair and make a lather**.But shampoos that have too much of it can strip away the natural oils of your hair and can take away too much moisture,resulting to a dry and unhealthy hair. Parabens This ingredient has **anti-microbial agents**,can help to **extend the shelf life of beauty products**,and is also **cheap**; making it a staple in most of the shampoos nowadays. But a research has shown that it may **cause damage and breakage** to ones' hair and scalp. Silicones This helps to **seal the cuticle of your hair** after having an intense cleaning with all the chemicals involved above and can also make your hair **shine** after using it. These are just some of the ingredients and its uses that make up most of the shampoos and I've provided the benefits and harmful effects of it to your hair and now,it's up to you whether you should shampoo your hair everyday or not.
