13 terrifying hair blunders you might be making!
Are you unknowingly committing hair horrors that are haunting your beauty routine? Your hair is your crowning glory, but it’s easy to make hair blunders that can leave you looking less like a beauty and more like a ghoul. We explore 13 terrifying hair mistakes and their remedies. Let’s ensure your locks remain enchanting, not a hair-raising fright!
- Neglecting UV Protection: Yes, UV rays affects hair too! UV rays can damage your hair and cause colour fading, especially in our sunny Queensland climate. Wear a hat or use a UV-protectant spray when spending time in the sun.
- Not Protecting Hair While Swimming: Chlorine in pools and saltwater at the beach can harm your hair. Remedy: Wet your hair with clean water before swimming and wear a swim cap to protect it. Use hair protection product such as Revitafoam.
- Ignoring Split Ends: Split ends can travel up the hair shaft, making your hair appear frizzy and damaged. Book in regular trims every 6-8 weeks to prevent split ends from worsening.
- Overwashing Your Hair: Frequent washing can strip your hair of its natural oils. Wash your hair 2-3 times a week and use a sulfate-free shampoo to prevent over-drying.
- Using Hot Water for Washing: Excessive use of hot water during hair washing can strip away natural oils and lead to dryness. Wash your hair with lukewarm or cool water to maintain its moisture balance and shine.
- Brushing Wet Hair: Wet hair is more fragile, and brushing it can lead to breakage. Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle wet hair gently.
- Using Harsh Brushes: Brushing your hair with rough brushes can lead to breakage. As above, use a wide-toothed comb or a brush with soft bristles to detangle gently.
- Sleeping with Wet Hair: Going to bed with wet hair can cause friction, breakage, and frizz – not to mention highly uncomfortable! Allow your hair to air dry or use a microfiber towel before bedtime.
- Towel-Drying Too Vigorously: Rubbing your hair vigorously with a towel can also cause friction and damage. When towel-drying remember: pat, don’t rub! Pat your hair dry with a soft towel, preferably microfibre, to minimize friction.
- Skipping Heat Protection: Excessive heat from styling tools can damage your hair. Use a heat protectant spray or serum before styling to shield your strands from heat damage.
- Excessive Styling Products: Too much of a good thing can be not-so-good a thing. Overloading your hair with styling products can weigh it down and lead to a greasy appearance. Use products in moderation and use a clarifying shampoo to clarify your hair periodically to remove product buildup.
- Neglecting Scalp Health: Ignoring the health of your scalp can lead to issues like dandruff and hair loss. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo, and consider using a scalp treatment or massaging your scalp regularly to promote better hair health.
- Ignoring Regular Conditioning: Skipping conditioner can leave your hair dry and prone to damage. Use a good quality conditioner after every shampoo to keep your hair hydrated and soft.
