To maintain moisture, hair should be shampooed no more than how many times a week?

• A. No more than Once a Week
• B. No more than Twice a Week
• C. No more than 3 Times a Week
• D. Once Every 3 Weeks

Answer: (B)

Maintaining moisture means preserving the scalp’s natural oils while still keeping the hair clean. Shampoo cleans away dirt and oils, but it also removes the sebum that helps keep hair moisturized. Washing too often can strip these oils and leave hair dry, frizzy, or brittle. That’s why washing no more than twice a week is typically the best balance for moisture retention. Some hair types may need even less frequent washing or can use conditioning between washes, but twice a week provides a good general guideline. Washing once a week can allow buildup, washing three times a week can be too drying for many people, and waiting three weeks is far too infrequent for regular cleansing.
