Hair Care Don'ts

There are a lot of hair care don´ts and let´s talk about a few of them to see if you are doing many of them, if you are this would be the time to stop, I know a lot of them can be by habit, but a habit and some of them may take a bit effort from your side, such as turning and reading what is in your shampoo, this one is a deal-breaker and it is something I do with everything, I do it with my skincare as well as my shampoo and what I eat, I just like to know what is in the stuff I use.

1.     Hot shower.

A hot shower is a no no, since it strips your hair from its natural oils, which will leave your scalp flaky and dry. A lukewarm shower would be the best for your hair and also your skin. So just think about the hot shower and measure within yourself if it really is worth it or not, I bet you it is not, healthy hair and skin is worth a lot more.

2.     Stress.

Stress can cause your hair to look unhealthy and fall out. If you have been overly stressed you have probably already noticed that you shed a lot more than you normally would, I have been so stressed that it felt like all of my hair would fall out. So, try to keep calm and not stress yourself too much, because losing a lot of hair can cause you to stress even more. Also trying not to stress is healthier for your skin as well and your overall health.

3.     Chemicals.

When you dye or perm your hair and have any other hair treatments done to your hair, it obviously damages your hair, so try not to do that way too often, in case you really love coloring hair, then try to really take well care of your hair, use hair masks and avoid the other don´ts on the list.

4.     Hair styling products

Using hair styling products that use heat such as straighteners, blow dryers and curlers can cause your hair to look dead and dull, also it permanently changes the texture of your hair and can even cause breakage, which means your hair will break off and it will not be a good look.

5.     Saltwater Hair Wash.

Saltwater damages the hair cuticles, irritates the scalp and it makes your hair tangled, yes going to the beach is fun, and some people like diving in the salty water, and some people even make their hair wet just so it bleaches faster in the sun, but that is so unhealthy for your hair, so be mindful about it, and don´t bleach your hair like that. When you are at a pool also try avoiding getting your hair wet, since chlorinated water is as bad as salty water, also it can turn blond hair green.
