Despite watching endless styling videos, and purchasing the same products as the professional hair salons, you might fail to achieve the same hairstyle at home. Indeed the repeated failure is very frustrating for a fashion enthusiast. But, before you give up, here is a list of common hair styling mistakes you might be committing and how you can overcome them!
The key to achieving healthy hair and perfect hairstyle:
Consider the following tips, to overcome your bad hair days:
-
Avoid paraben-laced shampoo and other softening chemicals:
No matter how smooth and lustrous your hair might appear after using a paraben-laced shampoo, it is not a permanent solution for your dry and dull hair. The paraben based shampoos are excellent solutions to fix your dull hair immediately before an event since the chemical coating in your hair makes it appear soft and shiny. But, turning to them for a prolonged period is a No-no.
-
Do not blow-dry your hair in the bathroom or hold the dryer too close to your hair:
According to the hair stylists, this could be the worst enemy for your hair. Instead of rushing into blowdrying in the bathroom, head for a cool and relatively less humid place in your home and give it some time, before you start blow-drying or straightening it. Take your time, and dry your hair in small sections from the bottom to sides and finally the top. Hold the drier eight to ten inches away from your head, and if possible treat your hair with a commendable heat protector formula to avoid damaging your hair.
-
Overdoing with dry shampoos can leave your hair dry:
Dry shampoos are excellent solutions to fix your hair immediately for a day or two. However, using a dry shampoo on a regular basis will suck in all the oil from your hair, leaving it dry and unhealthy. Instead of relying on a dry shampoo, turn to a detoxifying shampoo and a reliable hair serum or spray, before you go out.
-
Never underestimate your scalp:
To enhance the blood flow to the hair follicles and facilitate the hair growth or mass, it is essential to brush and massage the scalp on a regular basis.
-
Pick the right brush, which is designed for a specific purpose:
Needless to say, that each hair brush has its specific function. A boar-bristle brush is designed to ensure smoothness of the hair by brushing past the cuticles. Similarly, the wet brushes are created with extra soft bristles and elastic pads to remove the tangles or knots gently; the paddle brushes are meant to extricate long hair and the Denman brushes are anti-static and are widely used for styling. The round brushes, on the other hand, are used to straighten hair, increase the volume and enhance its natural waves.
