4 Biggest Hair Mistakes You Need To Fix Right Away


Mistake #1: Over handling Giving your hair 100 strokes, teasing, or vigorous shampooing will eventually fray the cuticle, the outer layer of the hair shaft that protects the fragile inner filaments. The result? Hair breakage. Hair Helper: "Treat your fingers to gently cleanse your scalp no need to scrub. Dirt, oil, and debris will float away as the lather passes over your hair. After you condition but before you rinse, detangle your hair in the shower with a wide-tooth comb. Try Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect 2 in 1Shampoo & Conditioner (INR 1,101, mybeautybazaar.com). When hair is dry, brush just enough to style it.


Mistake #2: Over heating When exposed to high heat, the cells of the hair's cuticle separate and break off, exposing the delicate filaments within. Hair loses its smoothness and luster, too, when the cuticle is damaged. Hair Helper: Never blow-dry sopping wet hair, says Cutler; it can't take the heat. After rinsing, squeeze hair gently with a towel—don't rub. Try the Ultra-Absorbent Quick-Dry Hair Towel (INR 1,584, Mybeautybazaar.com). If you shampoo daily, use a leave-in conditioner designed to protect blow-dried hair.


Mistake #3: Over processing Most hair dyes, curls, and relaxing agents aren't dangerous unless they are left on too long or used too often. Hair Helper: "Don't curl more frequently than every 120 days," Never curl and color on the same day a few weeks in between is best.


Mistake #4: Too tight ponytails The pressure of a rubber band around a ponytail can wear away the protective cuticle and cause hair to break. Anything that puts tension on the hair follicle for a continued period, like braids or extensions, can pull hair out by the roots, causing traction alopecia, which is sometimes permanent. Hair Helper: Use only hair-protecting bands.
