Hair Washing Mistakes That Will RUIN Your Hair – How to Properly Wash Hair

• Washing your hair too often. If you have normal or dry hair, you should only wash it 2-3 times a week. If you have oily hair, you may need to wash it more often, but try to stick to a maximum of 4 times a week. Washing your hair too often can strip away its natural oils, making it dry, frizzy, and damaged.
• Using the wrong shampoo. Not all shampoos are created equal. It’s important to choose a shampoo that is formulated for your specific hair type. If you have oily hair, you’ll need a shampoo that is designed to cleanse and absorb oil. If you have dry hair, you’ll need a shampoo that is moisturizing and hydrating.
• Not using enough shampoo. It’s tempting to use a small amount of shampoo to save money, but this is a mistake. You need to use enough shampoo to create a good lather. If you don’t use enough shampoo, you won’t be able to clean your hair properly.
• Scrubbing your scalp too hard. It’s important to massage your scalp when you shampoo, but you don’t need to scrub it hard. Scrubbing too hard can irritate your scalp and cause hair loss.
• Not rinsing your hair thoroughly. It’s important to rinse your hair thoroughly after shampooing and conditioning. If you don’t rinse your hair well, the shampoo and conditioner residue can build up on your hair, making it dry, dull, and weighed down.
• Applying conditioner to your scalp. Conditioner is designed to be applied to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, not your scalp. Applying conditioner to your scalp can make your hair greasy and weighed down.
• Overusing heat styling tools. Heat styling tools can damage your hair, so it’s important to use them in moderation. If you do use heat styling tools, be sure to use a heat protectant spray to protect your hair from damage.

1. Wet your hair thoroughly with warm water.
