A HAIRCARE pro has revealed why you should NEVER wash your hair after getting sweaty – and how often you really should be cleansing your locks.
Jonathan Van Ness suggested that you’re washing away ‘Mother Nature’s conditioner’ if you shampoo every time you sweat – and that this could be affecting your hair’s texture.
Instead, he suggested blow drying it into your hair for healthier, happier locks.
Known online as @jvn_official, the hairstylist, and one of the hosts of Netflix’s Queer Eye, regularly shares haircare tips with his 932,200 followers.
In a new TikTok reel, he said: “Another thing that will not bring out the most in anyone’s texture is over washing.
“You want to aim to wash your hair about two to four times a week.
