Do you know that you are damaging your hair every day with these few moves?

Although you are not running to the salon for chemical treatment every month or hitting the beach and the pool full of chlorine, your tresses are still vulnerable. But, do you know that there are many ways that you do not know that could harm your hair daily?

Pulling hair back with a hair tie (especially when you have wet hair)

Many people tend to throw tresses up into a messy bun with a hair elastic. It is actually one of the speediest ways to hurt your hair. The elasticity of the metal piece can cause excessive tension, which can be especially harmful if you haven’t dried your hair.

Reckless brushing though your hair

Your towel-dried hair is bound to require a bit of brushing before you get to drying and styling. But with overly aggressive brushing can cause traction damage. The right step would be putting on a leave-in conditioner then use a wide tooth comb to detangle the end of the hair. The only move upward wit your brushing.

Neglecting Heat protection and opting for the highest temps

Reach for product that are heat protection and you can keep your mane happier. You can still style your hair although your curling iron and straightener is at the lowest temperature. Be sure that you also have heat protection in your product arsenal, which will create a barrier around the cuticel, so the product takes the heat and not your hair.

Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase

Cotton is actually a rough, textured fabric and has the ability to adsorb the hair’s natural oils that help take care of the scalp and roots.

Not shielding your hair from the Sun

Unprotected exposure to sunlight damages the outside of the hair strand, called the cuticle, which can lead to dehydration, brittleness and even split ends.

Ignoring your scalp health

Scalp health is often overlooked by some people. Keep your scalp healthy and in turn, your hair will grow healthily. You may also reach for a clarifying shampoo a few times a month. Serum or scalp treatment can also be use to nourish the scalp by balancing natural oils called sebum.
