Do you rinse and repeat?

Just curious really. I only ever shampoo my hair once, but have recently seen people talking about how important it is to do it twice to ensure hair is properly clean. Some say their hair looks much better as a result too.

I always assumed the instructions to “rinse and repeat” was a way to sell more shampoo. But perhaps that is overly cynical of me?

So what do you do, and why? And if you are a double shampoo-er, would you recommend I start? For context, I only wash my hair every 3 or 4 days but I rarely (like once a month) use any hair products and I rarely even blow dry my hair.

I started doing this recently and have actually been shocked in the difference in my hair! I only wash twice a week though not sure would make as much difference if you wash your hair every day anyway.

I didn’t used to and my then hairdresser always commented about build up in my hair. I have done for a while now - I have curly hair and use a co-wash rather than harsh shampoo and I use product/s, (e.g. serum, mousse) albeit silicone free, most days. I was my hair every 3-4 days.
