Adjust for activity
Hard gym day = water rinse and conditioner, not a full sulfate wash. Save the shampoo for actual dirt and product days.
Product days = wash day
If you used pomade, clay, wax, or spray — you're washing that hair before bed or at latest tomorrow morning.
Gold Standard Shampoo — sulfate-free, gentle enough for daily use if you need it.

Is daily shampoo bad?+
With sulfate-free shampoo, no. With aggressive shampoo, yes — it strips scalp oils and rebounds oilier.
Should I co-wash?+
Curly hair often benefits. Straight or fine hair usually doesn't.
