Is washing your hair twice a day good for it?

I’ve recently joined a gym and have found myself showering twice a day: Once in the morning and once after working out. Is it bad for my hair if I wash it both times? Should I stop washing my hair in the morning?

I do the same thing. My stylist says that it is fine except my highlights might not last as long.

Do you have short hair? I would think that short hair would be even less of a problem.

I have relatively long hair for a guy (at the front and sides). I am more concerned about whether it will increase my chances of going bald. Does anyone know of any studies on this?

I have heard that regular stimulation of hair follicles (through things like washing/drying) actually improves your chances of not going bald. I have also heard that this is completely false and that baldness is entirely genetic. Furthermore, I have heard that excessive washing/conditioning can dry out the hair.

What about conditions like alopecia? Is this correlated to the frequency of hair washing
