13 Fatal Mistakes You Must Avoid If You Want Your Hair To Be Healthy And Strong Again

Beauty consists of various things, and a beautiful tended hair is one of them. We offer a guide to the most usual mistakes women make when it comes to hair care and how it should be treated.

1. Selecting the wrong shampoo

Different shampoos have different features and benefits, which it why it’s important to match them with your hair. The easiest way to find your right shampoo is to look for the label that suits your type of hair such as oily, dry and the like.

2. Washing your hair too often or too rarely

How often your hair needs washing may depend on the type of hair and the quality of the water you use. If your hair is naturally oily, wash it every day or two. If it is normal or dry, wash it once or twice a week.

3. You apply the shampoo wrong

The real reason why your hair looks so good after leaving the salon is the correct method of washing. The shampoo is used depending on its length. First put shampoo on hands, then rubs until bubbles appear and in the end apply it on the root of the head and gently rub. Massage the scalp because it is useful for the hair roots.

4. You don’t keep the hair moist and nourished

The reason for your dry hair is because your head doesn’t produce enough moisture. To resolve this problem, you can use special hair masks and balms. Proper application means that these products should be applied over the whole hair, except the scalp.

5. Wrong water temperature

If you think that the water temperature is not important, think again. If you use cold water for rinsing, you have greater chances of keeping the hair shiny and healthy.

6. You use towels to dry your hair

Tap your hair with a towel instead of rubbing it. Do not tie it around the head because it can damage the hair, making it look frizzy and easily breakable.

7. You comb your hair while it’s wet

Wet hair is more fragile than dry and combing can damage it. After washing, carefully run your fingers through it and comb only after you do that. Make sure you use a comb with wider teeth and start from the ends towards the roots.

8. Regular use of hair styling products

Heat damages the hair. Hair dryer, irons and similar devices not only remove the surface moisture, but they also remove water that is attached to the hair. If you often use such products, always apply a heat protection spray along the entire length of your hair.

9. Wrong use of hairdryer

Wrong use of hair dryer can damage your hair. First you need to wipe the wet hair with a towel and then start drying the ends first using an extension. Then, reduce the heat.

10. Unhealthy diet

A balanced diet can give your hair all the nutrients it needs. This includes vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. The hair mainly consists of protein, which means that your hair needs protein for growth. Also it needs zinc, which can be found in eggs, seafood, avocados and plums.

11. You are not wearing hats/caps

A cap can offer a good sun protection and woolen hat can protect it from the cold. When buying a hat/cap, make sure it is comfortable and not too tight.

12. You don’t clean your comb

Your comb should be washed in lukewarm water at least weekly. Also, you should regularly replace the combs with new ones.

13. You don’t tie your hair while you sleep

If you have long or medium length hair, you can tie it in a loose ponytail, so that it doesn’t become frizzy in the morning.
