Want gorgeous, healthy hair? It starts with ditching habits that cause real damage. As hair care professionals know, breaking these three common mistakes can transform your locks immediately.
1. Brushing Your Hair While It's Wet
Wet hair is far more fragile and prone to breakage. Skip the forceful brushing—instead, gently detangle with your fingers in the shower, using conditioner for slip. If you must comb, choose a wide-tooth comb.
2. Exposing Your Hair to Too Much Heat
Air-drying is always best. For blow-drying or styling tools, apply a heat protectant first, keep the dryer moving and at a distance, and use the coolest setting available.
3. Skipping the Hairdresser for Over Six Months
