Are you sure you take good care of your hair? No matter how well-intentioned you are, you certainly do things you shouldn’t do with your hair.
Taking care of your hair is essential for many women. In fact, it ends up becoming a daily habit for many of us.
Because of these precautions, Women’s Area decided to separate some mistakes that we tend to make with our hair on a daily basis. In fact, despite being considered common attitudes, we should not practice them under any circumstances.
In fact, one of the most terrible mistakes for hair is, exactly, the lack of frequent care. The results of this are even weak and dull. In addition to other common negative consequences, such as oiliness, split ends, dry hair and so on.
If this is your case, we came here to save you. To do this, we are going to point out some mistakes that you may make, but don’t know about.
The 12 worst things you shouldn’t do to your hair
1- Apply conditioner to the roots
Firstly, the conditioner is a strong ally for hair oiliness. Basically, conditioner can leave hair with excess oil and clog hair pores. In addition to increasing the incidence of dandruff. However, it is worth mentioning that dandruff only occurs in more extreme cases.
Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that for hair that is already oily, excess conditioner could make things worse.
2- Leave the conditioner in your hair
Firstly, if you think that leaving conditioner on your hair will hydrate them, you are completely wrong. Furthermore, the function of the conditioner is to close the hair scales, opened by the shampoo. In other words, it allows the hair to become silkier and protected from external aggressions.
Therefore, not rinsing the hair properly and leaving residues of the product could damage the hair structure. This also prevents the scales from being sealed.
In fact, you run the risk of making your hair elastic and brittle by doing this. Therefore, it is essential that you remove all the product from your hair.
3- Forget about hydration
A priori, if you are the type of person who is too lazy to condition your hair, we came here to tell you that you are slowly destroying it. Basically, hydration prevents your hair from getting damaged.
Especially if you use chemicals. For example, dyes, straightening, relaxing and others. Because these types of products are the “leaders” for damaging hair.
In addition to fortifying the hair, hydration also has the ability to lighten and nourish the hair. In fact, with hydration you also restore the softness, shine and healthy appearance of your locks.
It is worth mentioning that even those of you who have oily hair should moisturize frequently.
4- Wash your hair with hot water
Even though it’s delicious to take a bath in that hot water, your hair doesn’t feel well cared for in it. Basically, very hot water can cause scalp irritation. In addition to stimulating sebum production and promoting oiliness. In fact, this may also inhibit hair growth.
One tip we’re going to give you is to always vary your shampoo and conditioner. Furthermore, you can also add a deep cleansing shampoo. Remember that you should use these once a week or every 15 days.
Basically, this tip is so you can remove excess chemicals, dirt and oil from your scalp. In addition to helping your hair breathe better.
5- Use a moisturizing mask on the beach
Firstly, if you go to the beach, don’t invent fashions. Basically, no product other than a good leave-in cream with sun protection will protect your hair. In fact, these other masks could burn your hair. In addition to not forming a layer against ultraviolet rays. How they should form, right?
In fact, these other types of masks will make your hair even weaker.
6- Secure wet strands
Who has never done this, right?
Firstly, we must highlight that doing this once in a while is okay. Now if you do this frequently you will be damaging your hair. So, to explain it better, keeping your scalp wet for a long time causes fungus to build up and create dandruff. In addition to weakening the root and causing it to fall.
In fact, if you are looking to reduce the volume of your hair, we recommend that you apply a leave-in conditioner. Well, it will make your hair avoid the wind until it dries.
7- Apply a straightener to wet hair
Woman, never, under any circumstances do this.
Firstly, before using the straightener, dry your hair well. Remember that not even damp is allowed. Basically, using a straightener with wet hair will cause your hair to be deeply damaged and burned. And because of that, they completely break. So much so that in some cases it becomes necessary to cut the wires.
8- Using the hairdryer the wrong way
Don’t worry, you can use a hairdryer. However, you must be careful before using.
Therefore, we will give you some tips. Firstly, try to keep them 30 centimeters away from your head. Second, try to maintain an intermediate or cold temperature, never use the dryer at maximum. Because, at most, the dryer can burn the hair.
The third and final tip is to avoid directing the hot jet towards your head. This can stimulate oiliness at the roots and even shorten the duration of your brush. In other words, these are not things you want, are they?
9- Going more than three months without cutting
Before I give you the tip, this isn’t hairdresser talk. This is pure truth here. However, there are cases and cases, for example, if your hair takes a long time to grow you can wait an extra month. But remember that 3 months is the average length of time a cut lasts.
Basically, after three months the ends of your hair start to open and break more easily. What’s more, frizz and volume begin to increase, and weak strands begin to fall out more.
10- Detangle with brushes that are too malleable
Basically, experts recommend a comb with wider and finer teeth. Because combs with soft bristles tend to be more complicated to use. In addition to being bad for your hair. Yes, they can break the wires.
11- Do more than two chemicals
Woman, you have to choose. You can’t do everything together. Especially because you’re not Rapunzel, who has the strongest and longest hair of the entire female population. So, stay calm and choose a single type of treatment. Either you choose relaxation, or coloring, or progressive or highlights.
Basically, several treatments on your hair together can leave the strands porous and too weak. In addition to breaking the ends of your hair even more. To improve, some experts say you can choose a maximum of two procedures for your hair. In fact, if you do your duty, it will be to hydrate frequently.
12- Dispensar o leave-in
This tip will be for women who want to curl their hair more, or leave it with a more natural appearance. Firstly, there are no defined curls without shampoo, conditioner and leave-in creams. In other words, no-rinse cream.
Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that frizzy and curly hair requires more care. Because the curves of the hair make it difficult for the natural oil present at the roots to reach the ends. In other words, this is why the hair becomes drier. In fact, for you curly women, it is even more important to use moisturizer.
In fact, don’t improvise, that is, use conditioner instead of leave-in. According to experts, rinsing is necessary in the case of conditioner. Well, this is the only way the cuticles, which are the outer layers of the hair, are closed. Now if you change, you run the risk of weakening your hair and making it more brittle. In addition to increasing the goosebumps effect, with frizz.
