How Often Should We Really Wash Our Hair? The Answer SHOCKED Us!

If you've ever wondered how often you should actually be washing your hair, or whether supplements genuinely work for hair growth, you've come to the right place. In today's Monthly Masterclass, Leigh Campbell and Kelly McCarron are joined by hairdresser of 30+ years turned trichologist and founder of the Tricho Health Clinic, Cassandra Hooper Whitmore. In this genuinely eye-opening conversation, Cass drops major truth bombs and reminds us all that our scalps are skin and therefore our skincare shouldn't stop at the hairline.

Cass rapid-fires through the biggest hair and scalp myths that could be ruining our routines, starting with how often you should actually be washing your hair. And if you've ever gone to bed with wet hair, brace yourself to learn what might be happening as a result... Plus, the truth about a hair brushing habit that could be doing more damage than good. 

Then things get personal, with Leigh and Kelly putting their own scalps under the microscope for Cass to examine — and have their minds completely blown in the process. Who knew your scalp could tell you so much about your overall health and wellbeing? Turns out your scalp is talking and it's time we start listening before it has to shout.
