How often should you be washing your hair?
Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at
You take your hair and scalp to the same places you take your face, and it gets just as dirty.
Your scalp is also a living tissue; it sweats, produces oils and sheds skin cells.
You wouldn't leave two days between washing your face, and you likely wouldn't wear the same outfit more than a few times before washing it – apply the same thinking to your hair.
It is a myth that washing your hair too often causes your hair to get greasier.
''My blow dries last longer and hair is less oily and weighed down.''
Another chimed in: ''I feel like your hair smells so FRESH AND CLEAN.''
A third wrote: ''honestly ever since i tried brushing my shampoo and i never really looked back!''
''I've been doing this for the longest time with my shampoo and conditioner, my hair has never been better,'' commented a viewer.

How has Tesco's F&F upped its game By Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend ZARA has become a high street staple in recent years thanks to its hot-off-the-catwalk designs and affordable prices. But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity. However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead. F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands. They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame. F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner. I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes. So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco. Posing with chic sunnies and heeled sandals, Chloe looked incredible - and was delighted to see that this dress too came with side pockets. Praising the brand, the shopper wrote in the caption: ''Ummmm hello TESCO you superstar - thanks for providing this pink dress, leopard shorts & the last dress is just sensational! ''All bought today so will all be fresh in stores for you!'' the fashionista wrote in the caption. 'I'm gonna have to run to Tesco' The new range has clearly impressed many, as As close to 8,000 people gave it a like, a further 124 flooded to comments, where one said: ''I'm gonna have to run to Tesco's for those leopard shorts.'' Someone else chimed in: ''Blue dress is 10/10.'' Another shopper said: ''bought the last dress today and it's honestly sooo gorgeous on. they do it in black as well and a gorgeous khaki green kinda colour too.''

Reasons to shop supermarket fashion When looking for new pieces to add to your seasonal wardrobe, or update your basics, there's no need to spend hours walking around clothes shops, or scrolling online. Just pick up a dress or two alongside your fruit and veg... They're convenient - Chances are you visit your supermarket more times than a shopping centre or high street. It's affordable - For basics to more fashion-led pieces, supermarkets are leading the way for budget fashion that doesn't look cheap. They're more on-trend that you think - With a customer database larger than the average high street store, shops like ASDA, Sainsbury's and Tesco are able to cater to the markets and predict trends in a lot more areas than just food supply. They fit well - Fits and lengths often come with a little more modesty in mind. Fabrics are often highly practical too—think plenty of 100% cotton that can be thrown into the washing machine without thought The supermarket frock's not the only noughties fashion buy that's got shoppers talking this week. Fashionistas have been left totally divided after spotting an iconic noughties trend that has made its way back to the high-street. The bandage dress first hit the catwalk back in 1989 as the grand finale of Hervé Léger's runway show, but it wasn't until the likes of Victoria Beckham and other celebrities went crazy for the dresses in the 00s that they became mainstream. And now, shoppers will again be able to get their hands on the iconic bandage dresses, as they are now back in House of CB. The much-loved chain took to Instagram to share the exciting news, leaving many totally stunned. Alongside the social media post showing off the new frocks, the chain penned: 'She's baaaaaack. Shop the birthday bandage collection now and be ready to serve some cake.' But many are fuming and are describing it as 'cheap and tacky'.
