1. APPLYING CONDITIONER WITHOUT WRINGING OUT THE HAIR
Conditioner is essential for hair to retain moisture. By applying it directly to wet, not towel-dried hair, the conditioner flows along the fiber. It doesn’t penetrate the fiber and deliver its benefits.
The right gesture: It’s important to remove excess water with a towel, before gently pre-drying the hair. The aim is to maintain a moist texture. Some agree that conditioner should be applied… before shampooing.
2. WRAP YOUR HAIR IN A TOWEL
After washing our hair, our reflex is to wrap it in a towel to absorb the water. The fiber, which is then twisted and stretched on itself, is badly damaged. What’s more, the towel’s sponge-like material compresses the hair. Its rough appearance also breaks the hair fiber at the slightest friction. The result is split ends and lengths. It’s when you scrunch your hair in the towel that the damage begins. Nevertheless, towel-drying is less harmful than blow-drying.
The right gesture: Gently press your hair into the towel, or use a microfiber towel. Others recommend using a clean cotton T-shirt.
3. WASHING HAIR INCORRECTLY
It’s a fact: we wash our hair incorrectly. This can be explained by excessive use of shampoo, incorrect rinsing, or the habit of not detangling our hair before taking a shower. When shampooing, we also tend to concentrate on one part of the head. Other areas to be treated are omitted, such as the back of the head, the back of the ears, or the top of the neck.
The right gesture: For optimal washing, first lather the shampoo in your hands, adding a little water. Wash from top to bottom. Start at the crown of the head and work down to the nape of the neck, not forgetting the sides. Rinse the hair several times, head forward, and head backward.

4. BRUSHING THE WRONG WAY
Despite all the care we take, the health of our hair also depends on the way we style it with our accessories. We’re used to brushing from the roots to the ends… but this creates knots at mid-length. Forcing them to outbreak the fiber, once again causing split ends.
The right gesture: Start at the bottom of the hair and work your way up. Don’t neglect to brush the roots. Contact with the bristles stimulates blood circulation and revitalizes the scalp.
5. RUBBING OUR SCALP TOO HARD WHEN SHAMPOOING
We tend to think that the more shampoo we use, the cleaner our scalp will be. But also that the more we rub our scalp in the shower, the more dirt will be removed. Mistakes. Scrubbing the scalp too aggressively will only exacerbate problems such as dandruff or excessive sebum production.
The right gesture: Nonetheless, contact and pressure on the scalp are beneficial for stimulating blood circulation and promoting growth. We divide the hair into sections and use our fingertips to massage the scalp firmly, but not excessively.Â
6. COMBING WET HAIR
Combing your hair while it’s still wet is a good way to give it disciplined movement and eliminate tangles. Wet hair is fragile and breaks more easily.
The right gesture: If you can’t avoid this step, we recommend using a wide-tooth comb.
7. THINK ONE BRUSH IS ENOUGH
When it comes to choosing a brush, we sometimes think in terms of design or price. However, each type of brush has a specific function to suit the nature of our hair.
The right choice: to detangle hair, we choose a comb; fine, curly hair will opt for boar-bristle brushes, while straight hair will adopt skeleton brushes with spikes. Keep round brushes for brushing.
8. SLEEPING WITH WET HAIR
Not only is sleeping with wet hair bad for your hair’s beauty, but it’s also bad for your health. In extreme cases, letting our hair soak overnight can lead to headaches, aches and pains, eczema, and even fungal infections of the scalp.Â
The right thing to do: is to dry it before going to bed. From time to time, you can take advantage of the hair’s moisture to apply beneficial oils or treatments during the night. Wrap your hair in a charlotte. When you wake up, your hair is nourished and moisturized.
