Hair is more fragile than most people realize. Even though your hair grows 1/4 inch per month, you may not notice this growth if your hair is constantly breaking off. There are a number of ways that you may be damaging your hair. Below is a list of some of the most damaging things that you can do to your hair:
Brushing Your Hair Too Much
You may have heard that brushing your hair constantly is one of the keys to helping it grow faster. However, excessive brushing is actually bad for your hair. It can cause hair breakage. You may also be pulling out some of your hair when you brush. You should brush your hair enough to untangle it.
Brushing Wet Hair
If you brush your hair while it is wet, then it can suffer serious damage. Your hair is most fragile when it is wet. You can untangle your hair after you wash it by using a wide-toothed comb. This will help prevent damage.
Wearing A Ponytail Every Day
When you are short on time, it seems easy and convenient to just put your hair up in a ponytail. However, if you wear a ponytail every day, then you are probably damaging your hair. A ponytail puts pressure on the hair shaft. It can also weaken the hair shaft and stunt hair growth.
Washing Your Hair Every Day
If you have oily hair, then you will have to wash it more often than someone who has naturally dry hair. However, washing your hair every day removes the natural oils from your hair. You should give your hair a break by washing it every few days. You can also use dry shampoo.
Not Using Quality Hair Products
You really get what you pay for when it comes to hair products. Using the right products is essential for the health and appearance of your hair. That is why investing in salon-quality products is one of the best things you can do for your hair.
Setting The Heat Too High On The Curling Iron Or Flat Iron
Excessive heat can damage your hair. That is why you should keep the temperature on your flat iron or curling iron between 250 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit or a low to medium setting. You may have to spend more time on your hair, but it will be worth it.
