Overwashing: Excessive washing can strip your hair of natural oils, making it dry and brittle. Aim for 2-3 times a week or as needed.
Using hot water: Hot water can weaken hair and cause frizz. Stick to lukewarm or cool water when washing and rinsing your hair.
Using harsh shampoos: Avoid shampoos with sulfates and opt for sulfate-free or mild formulas to prevent excessive drying.
Skipping conditioner: Conditioning helps moisturize and protect your hair. Always use a suitable conditioner after shampooing.
Using excessive heat styling: Limit the use of hairdryers, straighteners, and curling irons to prevent heat damage. When using them, use a heat protectant.
Brushing wet hair: Wet hair is more prone to breakage. Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to avoid damage.
Tight hairstyles: Avoid tight ponytails, braids, and buns that can stress and weaken your hair, causing breakage and hair loss.
Using harsh hair products: Some hair products contain alcohol and chemicals that can dry out your hair. Choose products with natural ingredients.
