Country that advised citizens not to wash their hair every day...Why?

As Britain struggles with its worst heat wave, it has come up with a response that advises people not to wash their hair every day to save water.

On July 27th (local time), the Telegraph and other foreign media reported that the British government held an emergency meeting on 26th with farmers, fisheries industry officials, and representatives of environmental groups to discuss drought countermeasures.

After the meeting, the government urged citizens to use water sparingly to combat water shortages. Among the requirements are requests to use dry shampoo instead of washing your hair every day and not to water your lawn too often.

UK water companies will also introduce self-regulation. Public water supply companies such as Southern Water are likely to ban customers from using hoses and restrict water use for outdoor recreation, media reported. “Recreation means swimming,” he said.

Recently, the UK has been suffering from extreme heat, with temperatures surpassing 40 degrees Celsius for the first time in meteorological observation history. UK precipitation remains at 20% of normal levels. The British Met Office issued its first red warning for "severe heat" on July 19th, the following day, when 38.1 degrees was recorded on the previous day, 18th.
