Are you worried about your hair getting damaged easily? You might be responsible for that even without knowing it. There are habits we often do that cause hair damage or have a long-term effect on our hair. Keep on reading to find out if you are making any one of these mistakes. 

Taking hot showers

Showering regularly is known as good for health however, hot showers too often can be harmful to you. It easily stresses and dehydrates the hair. It’s bad for your scalp and causes excess oil production. 

Bleaching too often

Well, it isn’t rocket science to understand that bleaching hair is not good for you. Doing it too often will make your hair very rough. You might lose the natural smoothness of your hair. So, even if you bleach your hair maintain a healthy gap in between. 

Brushing too often

There’s a myth that goes by that brushing your hair 100 times a day is good for you. However, this is far from the truth. It is actually harmful to brush your hair too often. Brush only when it’s needed. And brush your hair before styling that is the way to get the best results. 

Using too much heat

This goes for hair irons, curlers, and blow driers. Many of us use these tools on a daily basis. I know it makes your hair look a lot better but it damages your hair permanently. I cannot tell you to completely forget these tools but you can manage the usage somewhat. For instance, if you have the time to dry your hair naturally do that instead of blow-drying your hair. 

Scratching your head

The scalp can feel itchy for many reasons. But itching or scratching your hair too often can damage your hair follicles. This later leads to hair loss. So, you should avoid this habit. 

Not knowing how to handle wet hair

When your hair is wet it is the most fragile. So if you are one of those people who like brushing wet hair or combing it too much you should be more mindful. It puts too much pressure and can give you split ends in the future. 

Let’s face it we all make these mistakes on a regular basic. However, now that we know what causes more damage we can easily refrain from it.
