Too wet or Dry Hair When Brushing
Brushing your hair when it is too wet or dry can also damage it. Many people make mistakes while brushing their own hair, and are surprised when it breaks. When your hair is too wet, it can be damaged by detangling it.
Combing wet or damp hair can damage hair strands. Combing dry hair is also painful and can cause hair and scalp strain. Be sure to dampen and soften your hair before comb it. Use a wide toothed or soft bristled comb or a brush to brush the hair from the tip to the roots to minimize damage.
Heat tools are used too frequently
Straightening and curling hair is a great way to make it look nice and makes it easier to style and comb. Heat is used to manipulate hair with curling irons and flatteners, which can be bad for your hair. The heat eventually exhausts the hair causing it break, and giving you unhealthy looking hair.
You should therefore reduce the use of blow dryers, straighteners or curlers on your hair. Heat styling your hair should not be done more than once per week. Take breaks between blow-drying to prevent damaging your hair.
Washing your hair with hot water
After a long day of work, a hot shower is a great way to relax. While hot showers are soothing for the skin, they do little for hair. Hot water can dry out hair, cause frizz or brittleness.
Instead, use warm water to moisten your hair. Rinse the shampoo and conditioner in cold water. Close the cuticles to make your hair shine.
