1.
NOT TRIMMING YOUR HAIR EVERY 6 WEEKS.
The
tip of each hair is weaker then the root, making it more
vulnerable to breakage and split ends. Having the tips trimmed
every 6 weeks helps to maintain the condition of your hair and
its style.
2.
WASHING HAIR ON A DAILY BASIS.
Regularly
washing your hair strips it of essential oils and can leave it
dry and brittle. If you have naturally oily hair, use a mild,
pH-balanced shampoo. When washing your hair don't rub the
scalp vigorously as this will stimulate the oil glands to
produce more sebum.
3. RUBBING YOUR HAIR VIGOROUSLY WITH A TOWEL.
The
action of rubbing you hair with a towel actually roughens the
hair cuticle, which can lead to frizzy, flyaway hair.
4.
LEAVING SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER IN YOUR HAIR.
Shampoo
and conditioner that is not thoroughly rinsed out of the hair
is the worst culprit for bad hair days. It counteracts styling
products, leaves your hair looking dull, limp and
unmanageable. Try to rinse your hair for an extra couple of
minutes after shampooing and conditioning.
5.
BLOW-DRYING HAIR UNTIL COMPLETELY DRY.
Overheating
your hair makes it susceptible to breakage and strips it of
shine. A better idea is to blow-dry hair until its 80% dry and
then let it air dry, naturally. Alternatively use a leave-in
conditioner or styling product that protects your hair from
heat styling. Also, hold the hair dryer at least 30
centimetres away from your hair.
6.
NOT USING PRODUCTS RECOMMENDED FOR YOUR HAIR TYPE.
Many
people misdiagnose their hair type and subsequently purchase
the wrong hair products to style hair. Using the right product
will help to recreate that special salon style.
7.
NOT USING A CLARIFYING SHAMPOO ONCE A WEEK.
Everyday
pollutants cling to hair and leave a thin coat of grime that
dulls and weighs down the hair. Using a clarifying shampoo
once a week will give hair a residue free fresh start.
8.
THINKING THE LATEST FASHION HAIR CUT WILL SUIT YOU.
Let’s
face it; we're not all beautiful models. Not all of us
can get away with the latest, trendiest, most fashionable hair
cut. May be that fashion cut can give you a worst look. It all
depends on individual, their texture, their lifestyle, their
quality of hair. Drastic haircuts take a long time to grow
out, so be sure you want to take the risk before sitting in
the char and letting your hairdresser go to work. Be specific
and take lots of photographs to ensure you are getting the
look you want. It is a good idea to take along a trusted
friend for advice! Better yet, is to check out the style
