The process involves gradually adjusting washing and styling habits to encourage the scalp to produce less oil and the hair to rely less on frequent cleansing. It’s a method of adapting hair to function optimally with less intervention, aiming for a balanced, healthier state. For example, transitioning from daily shampooing to washing every other day, then gradually extending the time between washes, is a common approach.
Adopting this practice can lead to improved hair health, reduced product usage, and significant time savings in daily grooming routines. Historically, frequent hair washing was not always the norm; adapting to less frequent washing aligns more closely with natural scalp function and oil production, potentially restoring balance and reducing reliance on harsh detergents.
