WHAT IS WRONG WHEN LOOSING ONE’S HAIR
Hair wash :
- Don’t over wash unless you use daily care products. Washing your hair every single day damages your hair by stripping away natural oils. It will leave your hair lackluster, dry and dull.
- Don’t take hot showers. Washing your hair with water that is too hot may cause reactions on your scalp, especially in case of sensitive scalp.
Technical:
- Don’t use hair-rollers. Leaving rollers on overnight damages the hair fiber.
- Don’t style your hair excessively. Excess heat from styling tools such as flat iron, blow dryers etc. can encourage negative scalp reactions.
- Don’t multiply hair treatments. Before coloring and / or smoothing your hair ask for a professional advice. This type of treatment may cause hair sensitazion.
Bad hair habits:
Don’t tie and style your hair after washing. Hair is more fragile when wet.
Swim unprotected:
Chlorine or salt water can strip off hair’s natural oils known as sebum, leaving it unprotected so more prone to dryness, split-ends and dullness. Seawater because of high level of salt may also leave hair tangled and rough. Ambient air humidity can accelerate and even amplify the deleterious effects of UV. When going to swim, use a deep hydrating leave-in conditioner to help protect the hair fiber.
