Some Mistakes You Make To Damage Your Hair

You wash it, brush it, blow-dry it, straighten it, curl it, and/or put all kinds of products in it. There's no question your hair goes through the ringer on any given day. Before you know it, your tresses can show signs of damage, from split ends to uncontrollable frizz—and the older we get, the more it naturally thins out and looks dull or damaged, even without over-processing.

1. Wash Your Hair Every Day

For most stylists we talked to, that’s every two to three days. Any more, and you risk stripping your hair such as Peruvian loose deep hair of its natural, protective oils that keep it shiny and healthy. This is especially true for people who color their hair, as over-washing can dull the vibrancy of their color.

2. You Use Too Much Conditioner

To avoid greasy strands, apply conditioner on the ends of the hair, where it truly needs hydration—not the scalp. Start with an amount about the size of a dime, and try to disperse it evenly throughout the hair. If needed, up the amount, but never exceed a quarter size. If you're using a half-dollar size of product, you will definitely be spending a lot of money on shampoo and conditioner and not doing much for your hair.

3. Use The Wrong Shampoo

Sulfates, the cleansing agents in shampoos, have become the gluten of the hair world. There’s a lot of hype around some of it valid, some not. While they don't pose any serious health hazards, some people find these chemicals dry out hair, skin, and scalp, or strip away color. If you’re seeing tangling, frizziness, and split ends, try a sulfate-free shampoo, which can clean your Malaysian loose body wave hair gently. Just keep in mind it won’t get as sudsy as a regular shampoo.

4. You Never Use A Deep Conditioner

It may sound like an unnecessary step, but the pros we spoke with all recommend using a deep conditioner—especially if your hair is dry, damaged, or split from coloring or heat styling. Use a treatment, at least once per week. Get in the habit of pampering your hair, and you’ll notice it behaves and looks better.

5. You Brush Your Hair When It's Wet

Wet hair is much weaker than dry hair, so treat it carefully. One of the worst things you can do is tug a brush through it, forcing tangles apart. Instead, try brushing your hair like Brazilian loose wave virgin hair before hopping in the shower to work out knots and air out the roots. During your shower, consider using a wide-toothed comb to work the conditioner through your strands. After, use a comb to work out tangles from the bottom, working your way up to the roots for the least damage. Bottom line: Use a brush only on dry hair and a wide-toothed comb on wet hair.

6. You Roughly Towel Dry

This isn’t the worst you can do, but it’s definitely not the best. After showering, don’t vigorously rub your hair with a towel—gently blot instead. Blotting will not rough up the cuticle and cause frizz. Want to go the extra mile? Use a paper towel to dry your hair. Norton says this is the most gentle, if not the most practical, method possible.

7. You Use Too-Hot Tools

Whether your hair is fine and thin or coarse and thick will determine which heat setting will get the job done. So it’s fortunate that most hot tools, like straighteners and curling irons, come with adjustable temperature settings.
