We all know that washing our hair is an essential part of our personal hygiene routine, but did you know that there are common mistakes that many people make when it comes to hair-washing? Here are some of the most common hair-washing mistakes and how to do it right.
Mistake #1: Lathering shampoo all over your lengths
Shampoo is meant to primarily clean your scalp and roots, where most of the oil and product buildup occurs. When you lather shampoo all over your hair lengths, you risk stripping your hair of its natural oils, which can cause dryness, frizz, and breakage.
Solution: You should lather and scrub your scalp as it is the place where you need to remove excess oil. The resulting lather will be enough to wash your ends.
Mistake #2: Skipping conditioner
Conditioner is an important part of your hair care routine. It helps to moisturize your hair, making it more manageable and less prone to breakage. When your hair is wet, it becomes more fragile to damage and only by using the conditioner you drastically reduce possible damage when combing.
Solution: Apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, avoiding the scalp. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it out with cool water.
Mistake #3: Applying conditioner to your roots
Conditioner is great, but you don’t need to put it on your scalp specifically if you have fine hair or looking for extra volume as it may slightly weigh down your hair and you will have to wash your hair more often.
Solution: Apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, avoiding the scalp. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it out with cool water.
Mistake #4: Scrubbing your hair vigorously
Scrubbing your hair too vigorously can lead to breakage and damage. Your hair is most vulnerable when it's wet, so it's important to be gentle when washing it.
Solution: Use gentle, circular motions to massage the shampoo into your scalp. Be careful not to tug or pull on your hair, and avoid rubbing it with a towel when you're done washing.
Mistake #5: Combing tangled hair after the shower
When your hair is wet, two of the three types of internal bonds are temporarily broken, allowing the hair to stretch up to an extra 1/3 of its length while wet. Rough combing, while the hair is wet and tangled, can cause damage.
Solution: Next time try to untangle your hair while you still have conditioner on it, you can use your fingers or a wide-tooth brush. This way you will have your hair ready to style without damaging it.
In conclusion, washing your hair may seem like a simple task, but there are many common mistakes that people make. By avoiding these mistakes and following the tips outlined above, you can keep your hair looking and feeling healthy and beautiful.
