Washing Hair; how often should you wash your hair?

If feels like the go-to internet response to “how often should you wash your hair?” is that washing hair everyday results in an irritated scalp and dried-out hair. But as someone who washes her hair everyday, I’d like to say my hair is not dried out or I don’t have an irritated scalp. But I found out the moisture of the hair retains according the shampoo and the conditioner you are using.

Also, recently New York Times article warned us that rise in the use of dry shampoo and the desire to extend the life of blow-dried or ironed hair means that actually women might not be washing their hair enough.

What do the experts have to say about it?
