Top 7 Hair Mistakes

Hair care is easier said than done. Beautification of hair depends critically on good nourishment. Nevertheless, there are certain things that everyone should avoid in order to have healthy and beautiful hair.

Combing Wet Hair

One must never comb wet hair. Roots of wet hair are extremely delicate. They have a higher tendency to break. Some believe that using a wide toothed comb will not harm the wet hair. This is not true.

Another myth is that the right time to entangled hair is when they are wet. This is wrong. Instead, hair should be entangled before shampooing.

Excess Washing

Daily washing of hair can deplete natural oils from the scalp. This can lead to scratchy scalp and dull looking hair. Those who wash hair everyday must make sure that they use a shampoo especially made for daily use.

Another important thing to remember is that they must massage the hair with little amount of oil every day so that hair do not become rough.

Hot water Cold water

Hair should neither be washed with very cold water nor with very hot water. This is a common mistake that people make during summer and winter season. Hair must always be washed with fresh water, preferably lukewarm.

This temperature of water allows better cleaning of the hair by allowing dissolution of dirt in the shampoo.

After an oil massage, hair must never be washed with cold water because the cold temperature will not let the oil to be washed from the hair.

Using Many Products

Apart from shampooing and conditioning there are many products available in market which may look attractive.

Accessories on Hair

Use of fashionable accessories may put stress on the hair and cause hair fall. Avoid using tight clips and other hair accessories which hold hair tightly.

Sleeping with Open Hair
