hair care mistakes to avoid

Every woman wants to show off her gorgeous hair. However, due to frizziness, dullness, hair fall, and other problems, not everyone is able to keep their hair in good condition. Many people are unaware that their hair is getting damaged and losing its luster because they are unknowingly doing hair care mistakes that are hurting their hair rather than strengthening it. To help you identify these blunders and give you better hair care ideas, we have listed some everyday practices that you need to avoid to prevent your hair from hair damage.

Using Satin Scrunchies Instead Of Tight Hair Ties

Using satin scrunchies instead of tight hair is a prettier and better way to tie the hair. They are made of fine material that glides into the hair and prevents knots and kinks, so they can protect your hair from breakage. They also don't cause headaches unlike tight hair ties. Although my favourite thing about these scrunchies are that they look super cute.

The Right Way To Shampoo Hair

When showering, make sure the water isn't too hot, as this might cause your hair to become dry and frizzy. Hot water can open the hair cuticle, causing it to lose moisture. It also raises the chances of split ends and hair loss.

Take a coin-sized amount of shampoo and focus shampoo on your scalp. Leave the lengths of the hair for conditioner.

Conditioner On Lengths

Conditioner is meant to moisturize your strands. Applying it to the scalp can make your hair oily and make it more prone to hair loss. In addition to that, the conditioner clogs the hair follicle by making it prone to dandruff. To avoid these problems, make sure to use a conditioner from the middle to the ends of your strands.

Do Not Comb Wer Hair

Comb your hair before washing it if you want to avoid excessive hair loss. Wet hair follicles are extremely delicate and prone to tangling. Brushing damp hair causes serious damage to the roots, which leads to breakage.

So, either comb your hair before washing it or after it has dried fully. End-to-end brushing can greatly improve the lustre of your hair.

Minimize The Use Of Styling Tools

Straightening and curling your hair both make your hair appear wonderful, but only for a short time. More than making your hair look beautiful, they can harm your hair more. In the long run, they make your hair dry and rough.

To get wonderful straight hair, you can go the natural way. Try curling or straightening your hair using natural hacks. Making braids on wet hair, for example, can curl your hair overnight without damaging your hair.
