Hair Care Practices to Avoid

1. Refrain from vigorously rubbing shampoo throughout the length of your hair during washing.

Instead, gently massage the shampoo into your scalp and allow it to flow through the length of your hair while rinsing, avoiding excessive rubbing.

2. Do not skip using conditioner after shampooing.

Make it a habit to apply conditioner after every shampoo to promote healthy hair.

3. Avoid brushing your hair when it is wet.

If you have straight hair, allow it to partially dry before using a wide-tooth comb for gentle detangling.
For textured hair or tight curls, comb your hair while it is damp using a wide-tooth comb.

4. Steer clear of using styling products with strong and long-lasting hold.

Consider opting for hairstyles that don't require excessive product usage to minimize hair damage.

5. Refrain from tightly pulling your hair back, such as in ponytails, buns, or cornrows.

Instead, choose looser hairstyles that put less strain on your hair.
Utilize covered rubber bands specifically designed for styling hair.
Explore alternative hairstyles that don't involve excessive pulling on your hair.

6. Avoid excessive brushing or tugging on your hair for styling purposes.

Contrary to the popular belief of 100 brush strokes, brush or comb your hair as needed.
Opt for a wide-tooth comb and use gentle motions to style your hair.
Minimize pulling and tugging to reduce hair damage.
If you encounter tangles, gently remove them using a moisturizing conditioner if necessary.
