Ways Women Damage their Hair


Admit it you have had at least one (or two) hair faux paus. I personally had an unflattering bob in 4th grade (that still haunts me to this day) and i was a honey blonde on and off throughout my life (even though i am a brunette). I miss being blonde but its always too much up keep for me because my roots grow in so fast. Anyways over the years i have gained some knowledge about hair care mistakes that i would like to share with everyone!

1. Delaying Haircuts - Waiting too long in between haircuts is one beauty sin women habitually commit. Always stay on top of hair appointments to keep hair manageable and beautiful. The ends of your hair often become brittle and dry, giving them a dull and unhealthy appearance.Get a haircut every six to eight weeks, depending on your growth. When you wait too long, you have split ends and your hair is less shiny and out of control. TRUST ME a haircut can make all the difference.

2. Choosing the WRONG Shampoo - I have been using WEN by Chaz Dean for years. WEN is a cleansing conditioner that has (shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, detangler, leave-in conditioner, and even shaving cream) all in one. I truly think its a "magic formula" my color holds better, it keeps my hair healthy and long i swear by it. It comes it many "flavors" that are for certain hair issues like the pomegranate cleansing conditioner is formulated to add moisture without weighing hair down. It effectively cleanses and hydrates hair without stripping or robbing it of its natural nutrients and oils. Lavender helps to moisturize and create volume without weighing hair down. It's universally great for all hair types especially for dry, dehydrated, or color treated hair. Then there is Fig which is ideal for medium to coarse, wavy to curly, and ethnic hair types; and is exceptional on dry, dehydrated, damaged, color treated, chemically straightened, and heat damaged hair. So Always choose a shampoo that's tailored to your hair needs. For example, certain shampoos are created for fine, curly,colored, gray or dandruff prone hair.

3. Combing Hair when Wet-combing your hair while it's wet and tangled can result in hair breakage in addition to pain. Always use a detangling spray or softening agent before combing wet hair Also make certain you are using a toothed comb. if you struggle with matted and tangled hair, you're probably using the wrong products for your hair type.

4. Rubbing Hair in Towel = worst thing ever!
rubbing your hair in your towel is a beauty mistake that'll leave your hair frizzy, unkempt and  unhealthy. after showering wring out excess water from hair with your hands and then to wrap it in a towel for 5 to 10 minutes. If you still have excess water in your hair, either rewrap and wait another 10 minutes or gentle press your hair between a dry towel.

5. Wearing Ponytails -Your hair is also susceptible to breaking when you place your ponytail in the same spot every day. a tight pony tail will have residual damage on your hairline, from the pull and tightness, as well as the area where the ponytail is being held by the band,you can even have loss of elasticity. Switch things up by either wearing hair down, moving the location of your ponytail or by using a less damaging hair tool, such as a barrette, claw or bobby pins.

Hair is like an accessory.......proceed with caution
