I have been crazy busy this weekend so couldn’t post anything here… I was out shopping and I was so tired that I slept as soon as I reached home.. So that is about me. How was your weekend and how was your Rakshabandhan (For people who don’t know what is “Rakshabandhan”, it is an indian festival on which a girl ties a holy thread on his brother’s wrist and in return he promises to takle care of her and protect her). I didn’t go home this year 🙁 but I’ll be going my home town this weekend :D. Today’s post is my Part of my Gyan(Knowledge) Series. It is about hair care. let’s talk about Common Hair-Care Mistakes We Generally Make!!!
Common Hair-Care Mistakes We Generally Make!!!
Hair contribute a lot in one’s beauty and overall look so maintaining healthy tresses is as important as skin-care. We all try our best in knowledge things to keep our tresses healthy but still there are few very common mistakes that we don’t realize that we are doing while following all the hair-care.
Here are those very common hair care mistakes that you might be doing.
1. Not brushing your hair before washing:
This is the most common hair-care mistake that most of us do. Brushing your hair before washing makes them detangles and easy to wash also it becomes easy to apply and spread products on them while washing using sulphate free shampoo which helps in reducing hair breakage and fall in the process.
So make it a point to brush thorough before washing your hair. Visit Godrej professional to check out Hair Products.
2. Conditioning hair wrong:
As we all read and heard that conditioning is very important for hair but over conditioning can also harm your hair and scalp. Do not slather conditioner every day it may cause build-up on your hair. Also make sure you are washing it out completely till the water runs clean. This hair-care mistakes is definitely avoaidable.
3. Slathering products on scalp:
We are often in a hurry and slather conditioner or blow-dry creams or heat protectants to our scalp as well. big hair-care mistake. Most if these products are not meant for you scalp and can cause build-up or irritation to your scalp. Take a deep breath, it will take hardly 1 minute more than usual but don’t use products on your scalp unless it is meant for use on scalp.
4. Towel-drying wrong:
Don’t rigorously rub your hair with towel just because you want them to be dried super-fast so that you can use your hair-styling tools. Drying your hair with towel rubbing can cause hair breakage and make them more frizzy. Use towel only to soak-up the water from hair but not for more than 5-10 mins. Make sure your towel is soft and of cotton-mix soft fabric which can absorb water fast.
5. Hurrying to use Heating tools:
One more very common hair-care mistake we do that we use heat-styling tools when hair are still wet. That can seriously damage hair and can cause all possible hair problems from weakening hair to breakage, thinning, coarse and dry hair etc. Be sure that you hair are properly dried before you use heat-styling on them.
6. Brushing your hair wet:
This is again very common hair-care mistake. Never ever brush your hair to detangle them while they are still wet as this is when your scalp is moist and your hair are soft and more prone to fall or breakage even with slight force. If you want to detangle or soothe your tresses, use your fingers instead. This will make your hair manageable and will cause minimum damage.
7. Teasing frequently:
We all love that little puffed hair look and most of us tease/back-comb hair to achieve that flawless bump in hair, but it’s not worth damaging your hair trust me. Teasing can give you immediately good looking hairstyle but it makes your hair coarse and more prone to breakage as it makes your cuticles weak. So buy little plastic bumpets if you are a fan of teased hair look.
This is my list of very common hair-care mistakes we make. If you feel like adding any other points please share your views in comment section… Take care…xoxo.
