Things you are doing that can be harmful to your hair

Hello beauties,

It’s common knowledge that hair is exposed daily to several external factors, such as heat, pollution, chemical products and even the friction of the towel after bathing. All of this may seem nothing extraordinary but all together (sometimes even alone) ends up damaging the strands, leading to weak, dry or even thinner hair! But don’t worry, we collected some harmful habits and the good news is that you can stop avoiding them right now!

Frizz

Do you know who is the biggest culprit of frizzy hair? Your towel! By rubbing the towel on the hair, we end up causing more aggressive friction, leading to dread frizz. 

Solution? Remove the excess of water with a microfiber towel or even a cotton t-shirt and tell us if you don’t feel a difference.

Dull, Dry Hair

Excessive washing of the hair can lead to dry and dull hair, because we are removing the natural oils that maintain the health and protection of the hair fiber. The same goes if you are not washing your hair enough times! Dirt and accumulated products can end up clogging pores and hair loss. 

Solution: Balance! Some people need to wash their hair once a week, others need more time, but the secret is to know your hair type and check all the signs it gives to you! Other things is to always start combing your hair from the bottom up, untangling the ends first, the middle and finally the roots.

Heavy hair

Are you using conditioner near the hair root? Yeah! Stop doing it! Conditioner is normally a heavy product and it can block the pores on the scalp, causing itchiness and flakiness, therefore it can make your hair oily!

Solution: Apply conditioner from the ear down, especially on the tips, the most dry area of the hair.

Split ends

We understand if you are team long hair, we really do! But it’s important to trim your ends every 3 months or so. Over time, all hair forms dreaded split ends which can delay the healthy growth of the hair. 

Solution: Trim your ends every now or then!
