We all love beautiful hair that makes everyone turn back and look at you again. That makes others envy of your look and hair that makes people compliment you every time they look at them. But are you sabotaging the chances of getting these things because of your daily habits?

Let’s discuss some hair crimes that we commit unconsciously or due to lack of knowledge but in turn they result in frequent bad hair days.

Skipping regular haircuts

You should maintain your hairdo to make your hair healthy. It is believed that the shelf life of a haircut is four to eight weeks after which it starts losing shape. You should trim your hair regularly to avoid thin hair and split-ends.

Giving Yourself a Haircut

Giving your hair a trim yourself is always a bad idea and it should be left up to the professionals.

Frequent heat treatment to your hair

Frequently straightening, curling or blow drying your hair damages them. Also working them at highest heat settings all the time can harm them. Your tool will work the same by switching it on medium mode from time to time. This saves your hair from some serious damage in the long run.

Using the wrong brush

A wrong brush can make your hair brittle and frizzy. For volume and curls in your hair, a small brush should be used. For straight hair, a larger brush would do the trick.

Mixing hairspray and heat

Have you ever heard a sizzling sound when you spray hairspray while your hair is still locked into the iron? This happens when the alcohol in hairspray comes into contact with your hot iron, it burns your hair. Thus, it should be avoided.

Not shampooing correctly

You should be careful while choosing the shampoo that maintains pH balance of your hair. Sulfate-free shampoo should be used for chemically treated hair. Also, while shampooing your hair, work up a generous lather and massage your scalp to clean it thoroughly and stimulating blood flow. This makes your hair healthier.

Going to sleep with wet hair

Going to sleep with wet hair can cause a lot of frizz due to friction.

Washing hair too often

It is believed by many that like our bodies, hair needs to be cleaned every day. However, it is not true. Washing hair too frequently strips them of their natural oils which keep them healthy.

Applying products at your roots

The products used for hair contain chemicals and can harm if used on the scalp. They should be focused on ends and their use on roots is a big NO.

Unhealthy eating habits

Eating right is very important for healthy hair. Correct diet can help the growth of your hair and can bring shine to them. Food that carries vitamins B6 and B12 like rice, cereals, and green vegetables create red blood cells which escalate the growth of hair.

Always sporting tied up hair

Keeping your hair tied up all the time can cause breakage and frizz. Thus, it is important to give them a rest and let them loose for some time every day.
