There’s nothing better than a visit to your hair stylist to get your hair in tip-top shape. Whether you’re visiting them prior to a big event or if you just need to rejuvenate your hair, a good stylist will be able to meet your needs. However, neglecting your hair up until that point isn’t doing your stylist or you any favors. A good quality hair care routine at home is more important than routine visits to the salon. Stylists can easily identify when you’ve neglected your hair. Here are the most common mistakes you could be making with your hair that your hair stylist may bring to your attention.
Not Using Quality Hair Products
If you spend a lot of time and money at the salon, you owe it to yourself to invest in quality hair care products rather than just buying the cheapest products at the supermarket. The ingredients in these products are potentially damaging, and the average person doesn’t even realize it. Most shampoos have sulfates, so one of the most basic tips is to find a sulfate free shampoo to keep your hair as healthy as possible on a daily basis.
Brushing Wet Hair
There’s no better way to break your hair strands than brushing it when it’s wet. Not only is it easier to brush dry hair, it’s also stronger when it’s dry so you can prevent breakage. When you have tangled hair, your stylist may recommend brushing it prior to getting in the shower while it’s still dry. Then when you get out of the shower, you can use a brush specially designed for wet hair and run through it seamlessly without having to struggle with knots or tangles.
Always Defaulting To Ponytails
It’s too easy to just pull your hair up in a ponytail when you’re in a rush or having a lazy day. But doing this too often could be damaging your hair more than you think. Pulling your hair back into a tight ponytail puts a lot of stress on it, and can lead to breakage. Most of the time the breakage will occur around the crown and can sometimes even create damage at the follicle. You don’t have to follow a strict quality hair care routine every day, but try not to make it a habit to default to wearing a ponytail multiple times every week.
