Have you been using the same brush for years or going to bed with wet hair? Check out what daily habits might be damaging your hair.
1. You Use the Wrong Brush
Sometimes it’s better to use wide-toothed combs to detangle hair without breaking it. Use them when your hair is completely dry.
2. You’re Brushing Incorrectly
Start brushing from the tips to the roots and not the other way around to prevent knots from forming.

3. The Way You Dry with a Towel
If you rub it too aggressively, you could cause breakage and frizz. It’s better to let it air dry a bit and then gently pat it with a towel.
4. You Sleep with Wet Hair
This can cause your hair to frizz or tangle due to friction with the pillow, so it’s better not to wash it at night or use a hairdryer.

5. You Use the Same Products
It’s advisable to switch products like shampoo or conditioner every so often. For example, when the winter, spring, etc., season starts. Or when you have applied a new dye.
6. Your Hair Ties Are Too Tight
If you like to do ponytails, try not to pull too tightly on the hair ties to avoid stressing or damaging your hair. Our advice, opt for braids instead.

7. You Overuse Hot Tools
When you feel that the hairdryer is burning your scalp, reduce the temperature. Do the same with the straightener and curling iron. Buy a heat protectant, usually found in spray form, to protect your hair from damage and try not to use these tools daily.
8. Extensions for Too Long
Prolonged use of extensions can make your hair fall out more easily. Fortunately, there are several options like clip-in extensions that you can put on and take off easily. Ask a good stylist which ones are best for you.

9. You Dye It Too Often
Let at least two months pass between each dye application because too much bleaching and chemical products can really ruin it. Also, use shampoos for colored hair.
10. You Wait Too Long Between Haircuts
To avoid split ends, we suggest trimming it every month by 2 to 5 cm or every two months if you are trying to grow it longer.
