Overheard a client say she only uses dry shampoo and never washes her hair

I was blowdrying a girls hair last Thursday and she casually mentioned she hasn't actually wet washed her hair in like 6 months. Just dry shampoo and the occasional rinse in the shower. She said her scalp feels fine but I noticed a lot of buildup at the roots. Made me wonder how many clients are doing this and just not telling us. How do you guys approach talking about scalp health without sounding judgey?

It's definitely part of this whole "low maintenance" trend that's everywhere now, people skipping steps but maybe forgetting the long term side effects. Ever notice how much time people save on one thing just to spend it fixing a bigger problem later?

Did she say why she stopped washing? Seems like there's usually a story behind that kind of thing.

oh man that's such a good question, poor thing probably has a whole backstory behind it honestly. i remember when a friend of mine went through something similar after a really rough period in her life, she just lost the energy for basic stuff like that. sometimes when you're dealing with depression or burnout the little things feel impossible, you know? i feel like people judge too quick without realizing there might be something deeper going on with her.
