Mistake #1: Washing Your Hair With Hot Water

Blasting your scalp with extremely hot water will dry out your hair and create tangles that could result in breakage.

Lukewarm water is better for your hair.

Mistake #2: Shampooing The Ends Of Your Hair

Use shampoo on the scalp only- not on the ends of your hair. The shampoo will rinse down in the shower, and that would be just enough to clean them.

Mistake #3: Scrubbing or Wringing The Ends

Scrubbing or wringing out your ends could easily break them causing split ends. Always treat your hair ends gently.

Mistake #4: Rough Up Wet Hair When Drying

Don’t rub wet hair with a towel to dry it

Rubbing and twisting can break brittle and damaged hair

Instead gently press the water out.

Mistake #5: Brushing Wet Hair

Do not brush your hair while it is wet. Use a wide-tooth comb, working from the ends of your hair on up.

When your hair is soaking wet, it is weaker, fragile and more susceptible to breakage.

Mistake #6: Blow Drying The Hair When Is Too Wet

Try not to blow-dry your hair immediately after shampooing

Ideally, you should allow your hair to first dry for 10 minutes under a towel turban.

The less wet your hair is, the less chances to reach boiling temperature when blow drying it, so the less damage to your hair.
