How often you should actually wash your hair according to your hair type

It’s the age old question: how often should I be washing my hair? We’re never quite sure of the answer, and different experts will offer varying advice.

“One way to get up the stairs,” Madonna says at the start of the clip she posted to her Instagram on Monday (Feb. 21.) Madonna, 63, rides up the stairs on an automated seat, probably because the massive shoes she wore made it impossible for her to climb. “F-ck you, motherf-ckers,” she said defiantly while flipping off the camera. After a bit of garage punk music, Madonna – who was rocking a sheer top – said, “I’m not going to quit my day job – or maybe I should.” She also added, “Count her in for talking. Then count her in for singing. And count me in for fun.”
