When it comes to hair care, mistakes can happen even to the most aware hair maniacs. Badly selected cosmetics, unsuitable accessories, inaccurate care. What will be the effect? For instance, weakened, dull, brittle hair. Check what hair care mistakes you may be doing and how to stop them!
Emollients or proteins are not enough
Many hair maniacs at the beginning of their beauty journey, use only emollients or proteins. The packaging of such cosmetics usually has the inscription: REGENERATION. And this, as it is not difficult to guess, should be useful to everyone. What could happen if you had a long treatment with such products? Thin hair treated with oil will be overburdened and greasy. High porosity hair, on the other hand, on which you applied a protein-based cosmetic, will become dry and damaged. Solution? Use products with proteins, emollients and humectants. You may as well use an emollient mask and a protein conditioner.
Cosmetics are not everything
If you think that selecting the right cosmetics is enough to take proper care of your hair… well, you couldn’t be more wrong. OK, that’s just the first step, but if you want your hair to be beautiful and healthy, you should also:
- limit hot styling to a minimum;
- set a cold airflow in the blow-dryer;
- regularly trim the ends of the strands;
- use hair brushes made of natural bristles;
- wipe the hair very gently with a towel.
The fewer products the better
It may seem strange to you, but the fewer cosmetics you use in hair care, the better results you will achieve. Do not apply much cosmetics too often. If possible, also limit head washing. You just need a shampoo, a conditioner and a mask. You do not need to have ampoules, sprays, lotions, oils and rinses.
