Not everybody is blessed with healthy, gorgeous locks, which is why most of us have to make do with what we have, style it in whatever ways we know how, and hope for the best.
There are many practices when it comes to styling hair, but are they actually beneficial, or are we just making things worse? In some cases, you could be doing more harm than good.
Here are some of the worst pieces of advice people have been given about hair styling, which should be avoided at all costs.
Wash your hair very frequently.
If you wash your hair every day, you’re overdoing it. A little bit of grease in your hair is actually a good thing. Plus, if you’re wearing hair extensions, the grease will help secure the clip-ins to your hair.
There isn’t a hard and fast rule when it comes to the number of times you should wash your hair in a week. Everybody’s hair is different, and this largely depends on the texture of your hair and the oil production of your scalp.
Take cues from your hair. If you’re experiencing breakage, flakes, or frizz, you could reduce the number of washes. Use dry shampoo instead for the days when your hair feels extra oily.
Once you’re done washing, avoid using a cotton towel and rubbing your hair roughly with it. Instead, reach for a microfiber towel or even a soft t-shirt to blot down the excess water.
Brush your hair while it’s still wet.
If you are in a hurry, you might be tempted to brush your hair after you’ve just stepped out of the shower. However, hair is at its weakest state when wet and is more prone to breakage.
What you can do instead is to brush your hair before you hop in the shower so it’ll be easier to style once it dries out.
