10 hair mistakes to avoid as soon as possible.
Hair are probably most fragile part of our body, Hence it is always advised to be extra gentle when it comes to our hair. Here I am mentioning some of the hair mistakes you might be doing knowingly or unknowingly but it needs to be stopped as soon as possible.
1)Combing wet hair.
Hair are extremely sensitive and prone to breakage when they are wet, as the hair cuticles are wide open.So it is always preferable to comb dry hair or semi dry hair.If you still wish to comb your hair when they are wet use your fingers to remove tangles and be extra gentle .
2)Washing hair with too cold or too hot water.
Temperature of the water used to wash your hair is extremely important .Both too cold and too hot water could be damaging to hair . I advice start washing your hair with warm water as the heat will open up the hair cuticle and finish off by rinsing your conditioner with cold water as it will close cuticles and pores of the scalp .
3)Conditioning your scalp.
Conditioning your scalp is so so wrong I cannot stress enough, as you keep on conditioning your scalp the conditioner will keep on building up on your scalp creating nothing but a layer of chemical on your head,making your hair feel more oily . It is advised and simply even mentioned on the conditioner bottle to condition only your end or atleast leaving 1-2 inches of your hair measuring from the scalp.
4) Applying a lot of oil.
Some people tend to never oil there hair and when do they do it's like they have dipped there head in pool of oil which is completely wrong . This is just a myth that if you apply more oil your hair will tend to absorb more oil ,infact applying more oil to hair will inturn make you apply more amount of shampoo to get rid of all the oils from your head which inturn will make your hair more dry .So simply apply minimal amount of oil to your head and not dipping your hair in pool of oil.
5)Keeping hair in high pony or high buns for longer period of time.
Everyone loves pony tails and high buns but doing it every single day is complete no no .
This types of hair styles cause alot to strain on your scalp and some people even tend to see temporary baldness over that area . So definitely keep enjoying your pony tail but not everysingle day .
6)Applying cold oil.
I see people saying that they apply oil regularly and there hair are still falling and still dry . So this might be the reason. Absorbing capability of hair depends a lot on hair porosity but when you do a hot oil massage the hair cuticle, the pores of the scalp open up absorbing more amount of oil . Warming up oil also increases its viscosity making it easier to apply .
7)Using towels to dry your hair.
Those furry towel that we see in commercials to dry your hair is the biggest spam . Infact those towels are the reason people tend to see more breakage and more split ends because of friction between hair and the towel. The best way to dry your hair is using an old cotton t-shirt or use a microfiber towel . No need to harshly rub your hair infact be very very gentle with your hair as wet hair more prone to damage .
8)Blow drying your hair every other day.
Heat from the blow dryer tends to really damage your hair , regular use can even cause permanent damage there it is generally advised to use blow dryer in cold setting infact the best way to dry your hair is to air dry .
9)Sleeping with open hair.
I have already mentioned it several times and I am mentioning it again that it is soo important to wear protective hair styles and not sleep with hair open as it really causes alot of frizz and tangles due to friction.
10) Heat styling your hair too often.
The biggest enemy to hair health according to me is heat and heat styling tools . No matter how much heat protectant you apply it is still going to damage your hair .So I would strictly advice to stay away from heat styling tools .Curly hair ,straight hair ,wavy hair every hair type is beautiful but choosing to heat style everyday is worst alternative.
