Show: Healthier You
Hair washing routines looks very different depending on your scalp, hair texture, and cultural practices.
On this episode of the Healthier You podcast, Dr. Ashlee Williams speaks with Dr. Randa Khoury, a board-certified dermatologist at Kaiser Permanente, to break down the science behind cleansing your hair and scalp. We’ll talk about wash frequency, dry shampoo, sulfates, clarifying shampoos, and how to choose products that actually work for your hair — whether you wash daily or every 1–2 weeks.
