We all tend to stick with something we like, using it for years on end. The same is true for our shampoo. Often, we think, "This shampoo suits me," and we're hesitant to change it. But did you know that using the same shampoo for a long time can be harmful to your hair's health? Let's explore the main reasons why.

Hair Needs Change with the Seasons
Just as we change our clothes with the changing seasons, our hair's needs also change. In the summer, sweat and dust make our scalp oilier, requiring a deep-cleansing shampoo. In contrast, in winter, the lack of humidity in the air makes hair dry and lifeless. In this case, you need a moisturizing shampoo. If you use the same shampoo all year round, your hair can suffer.

Shampoo Build-up
Have you ever noticed that the shampoo that once made your hair silky now leaves it feeling sticky or heavy after washing? This isn't your imagination. Many shampoos and conditioners contain ingredients like silicone that leave a coating on the hair. Using the same product for a long time causes this layer to build up (this is called 'product buildup'), making it difficult for the hair follicles to breathe. Changing your shampoo helps to remove this accumulated layer.

The Impact of Age and Lifestyle
Our age, diet, and hormonal changes directly affect our hair. Your hair might have been thick and oily two years ago, but now it might be thinner and drier. In such a case, your old shampoo will no longer meet your hair's current needs. As your hair's texture changes, so should your shampoo.

When should you change your shampoo?
You don't need to buy a new brand every time your shampoo runs out, but it's important to pay attention to your hair's signals. If your scalp is still itchy after washing, your hair is tangled, or it lacks its usual shine, then it's time for a change.

Changing your shampoo periodically is a smart move to maintain healthy hair. Change your shampoo at least two or three times a year and see how your hair revitalizes.
