You likely work very hard to protect and keep your hair looking shiny and healthy. You may use a hydrating shampoo and other products to keep it healthy, but sometimes it’s the overlooked tools and actions you take that could be damaging your hair. Hair damage is unavoidable to some extent. The main thing you want to do is be conscious of the products and tools you use on your hair and limit them to only the amount you need. Otherwise, you could be causing unnecessary damage. Here are some of the most common things people do to cause hair damage and not even know it.
Too Much Sun Exposure
With the spring season here and summer just around the corner, you’ll likely be spending much more time outdoors. You may have numerous different hairstyles picked out already for different events, but think about your sun protection for hair as well. Too much sun exposure can make your hair become dry and brittle, and can even change the color of it. Opting to wear a hat or staying in the shade as much as possible will protect your hair enough to prevent significant damage.
Relying on Heat Tools
Heat styling is an essential part of many people’s hair care routines. While tools like flat irons, curlers and hair dryers are extremely effective, they can also be damaging. Using a protective hair serum will help; however, using a lower heat setting will also reduce the risk of damaging your hair. These heat tools can burn your hair, make it brittle and dry and even have the opposite effect by making your hair frizzy. Investing in more expensive tools with different heat settings will be well worth it to protect your hair.
Trying Too Hard With Your Hair
There are plenty of products on the market you can use for your hair. However, it doesn’t mean you should try them all. Many times all you need to start off with is a quality hydrating shampoo. The more products you use, the more chemical exposure your hair will get. Chances are it will get damaged to some extent over time, so try to limit product usage as much as possible and only use the highest quality products.
