My barber in Cleveland told me to stop shampooing every day and my flaky scalp cleared up in 2 weeks

I had been fighting itchy flakes for close to a decade and tried every dandruff bottle on the shelf at the drugstore. My barber Marcus, who has been cutting hair on the near west side since before I moved here, told me to just rinse with water most days and use shampoo maybe twice a week. I figured he was messing with me but I tried it and by week two the itch was gone and my scalp stopped flaking on my shoulders. Now I am wondering if half of us are overdoing it out there, so what does your barber or stylist say about how often you should really wash?
