Six simple rules to help your hair stay clean and neat all week long after washing.

Long hair is a beauty that requires sacrifice—especially time. Regular washing, drying, and careful styling can take up precious hours. So, the idea of washing your hair only once a week sounds like the perfect escape or even a real lifesaver from daily routine. But there’s a catch — after a few days, hair often starts to look greasy and untidy. How can you avoid that and keep your hairstyle fresh for days? Here’s what ROXY recommends.

How to Keep Your Hair Clean

Choose a deep-cleansing shampoo.

It’s perfect for infrequent washing — it effectively removes sebum, dust, and styling product residue.

Don’t skip conditioner.

Since natural oils don’t reach the ends, your hair needs extra hydration. Conditioner will make it soft and shiny.

Use fewer care products.

If you wash your hair only once a week, daily serums and masks aren’t necessary. They’ll only weigh it down.

Use the right brush.

A brush with natural bristles evenly distributes oils along the hair and gently massages the scalp.

Rinse your hair with water after workouts.

This helps remove sweat and refreshes your hair without using shampoo.

Avoid hot styling.

Blow dryers and curling irons dry out your hair and undo your care efforts. The best option is to let it air dry naturally.

By following these tips, you can keep your hair healthy and well-groomed even if you wash it only once a week — no greasy shine, no extra hassle.
