SHAMPOO MISTAKES TO BREAK




YOU ARE USING THE SAME SHAMPOO 7 DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS A YEAR

Washing your hair this many times a week is not only too frequent, but using the same shampoo over and over is not good either. Changing your shampoo's occasionally and regularly is important to prevent buildup especially from certain ingredients like silicone's.

YOUR HAIR ISN'T WET ENOUGH BEFORE APPLYING SHAMPOO

 If your hair isn't wet enough than shampoo isn't going to lather properly, which means more product is going to be used, resulting in spending more money, more often on shampoo products. Make sure your hair is really wet before applying any shampoo. Your wallet will love you!

 YOU ALWAYS BEGIN APPLYING THE SAMPOO TO THE SAME SPOT ON YOUR HEAD

Do you ever feel like your hair is always weighed down and more oily in the same spot or maybe your scalp is dryer in certain areas than others? This could be caused by beginning to apply your shampoo to the same spot on your head every single time. Try alternating the way you apply your shampoo, whether it's starting at the nape of your neck or to the sides of your head, etc.

WASHING YOUR HAIR TOO VIGOROUSLY

If you find your hair is breaking or your hair is really tangled when combing out while it's wet, you might be too rough on your hair when shampooing. Try massaging your head with your fingertips and/or the palms of your hands, not your fingernails. Your hair will thank you later!

RINSING WITH HOT WATER

If you are rinsing with hot water, stop now! Rinsing with hot water may cause your hair and scalp to become more dry and to fade your colour treated hair. Rinse with luke warm water when shampooing and cool water when rinsing conditioner, as this helps lock in moisture from conditioning and it also preserves colour treated hair from fading.

The list of products below are some of my favorite hair products that I absolutely love, xo!!

  3. I definitely mix up the shampoos that I use on a regular basis. I have 3 different ones in my rotation. But I never knew about applying shampoo to the same spot on your head one - I'll definitely have to avoid doing that in the future! Thanks for the tip!

  5. Thanks for the great tips! I am trying to grow my hair out but it is taking foreverrrrr! I only wash my hair every other day, and I use dry shampoo inbetween. I have cut out the use of my blow dryer all together, but I cannot do without my straightner!

  15. Great tips! I am constantly switching up my shampoos! And I have a friend who, a few years back, mentioned that her hair always felt dirty at the nape of her neck. I was like, well, are you washing it there? And a lightbulb went off in her eyes! Now I always make sure I am getting the shampoo everywhere!
