If you – or your kids – use TikTok you’ll know that the latest trend is not washing your hair. Yes, the glam young things are all in competition over how long they can go without hair washing and all the beauty benefits of not applying parabens and chemicals to our hair. My daughter, nine, is in on it.
‘Frequent hair washing is so bad for you,’ she told me. I watched a few videos to find out what the fuss was about. Impossibly good-looking young people stare into the camera, tossing their gorgeous tresses this way and that. ‘Day 17 without hair washing,’ one said. ‘It’s now self-cleaning and feels great.’
Self-cleaning? Really?! So, as ever, I decided to set myself a challenge.
