10 Definite Don’ts Of Great Hair Care
If the amount of money consumers spend on hair care products
annually is any indication, most people are concerned about
the appearance of their hair and strive to attain beautiful,
healthy and stylish locks. In fact, most will go to any lengths
to achieve their desired look.
From professional salon treatments to over-the-counter serums,
hair care is a big business. The only problem is that while
many people are buying the right hair care products for their
hair, they forget to follow basic hair care regimens that
will guarantee the health and beauty of their tresses.
Additionally, many are also causing needless damage to their
hair by participating in unhealthy hair care behavior. So,
what should you do to make sure that your hair stays healthy,
shiny and strong? To avoid all hair care disasters, follow
these 10 absolute don’ts of great hair care.
Hair care don’ts
- Avoid unprofessional and over-the-counter hair care
products whenever you can. Many of these only offer false
hopes and promises.
- Do not cut your own bangs. Leave all of your cutting
needs, even bangs, to your hair care professional.
- Avoid excessive sun, chlorine and salt water during
the summer months. Excessive exposure can cause severe
damage that is irreversible even if you use the best hair
care products.
- Do not use clarifying hair care products on your tresses
more than one time per week. They can strip hair of moisture
and essential oils.
- Do not visit a hair care salon without first getting
a referral from someone you can trust. Choosing a salon
based on an advertisement or sale alone is very risky.
- Do not purchase hair color that comes in a box.
- Never stick with an outdated look because you are afraid
of looking different. Styles change for a reason. Ask
your hair care professional to bring you into this decade
with a new style.
- Do not straighten your hair with a clothes iron. C’mon,
this was so over in the 70s. We have straightening irons
that won’t damage your hair for this now. Look in
the hair care isle.
- Don’t brush your hair or put too much tension on
it while it is still wet. This will cause breakage. Also,
do not wear tight styles such as corn rows for extended
periods of time unless you have ethnic hair.
- Never use sun-lightening products such as lemon juice
or over-the-counter hair care products designed to lighten
hair with the sun unless you want a very short hair cut
in the future.
In the end, hair care is a very individualized and personal
thing. Feel free to add your own flair and style to your hair
care routine, but remember to include hair care principles
that will benefit your hair and avoid those that damage it.
