Our hair is as sensitive as our skin and so we have to care for them as much as we care for our skin. You might have a really good skin care routine for day time as well as night time. But do you have a proper hair care routine for at least once a week? You might all know that you've probably been damaging your hair with all those hair styling heat machines. But did you know that there your daily habits can also very much affect the quality of you hair? That's true. You have unknowingly been damaging your hair with your everyday habits and we're going to point that out for you so that you can take that into consideration.

Reckless teasing or backcombing your hair is highly damaging as it tangles your hair. In fact, it can lead to split ends and hair breakage for months. If you can’t give up teasing, do it only occasionally and use a fine-toothed comb. Also, remember to be gentle with your hair while teasing and do not try to do too much at once.

When wet, your hair strands are fragile and more vulnerable to breakage. It is best to comb your hair before washing to reduce tangling. After washing, blot your hair with a soft towel and allow it to air dry before combing. In fact, you should comb your hair when it is slightly damp. Slightly damp hair is also easier to style.

Too much shampooing can suck the natural moisture out of your hair and dry it out, causing breakage. Be sure to wash your hair three times a week. If you’re sweating or using lots of products, wash your hair every two days. When washing, use the right shampoo for your hair type and texture. This will help add moisture and beauty to your hair.

Dry shampoo is only meant to refresh your hair when you don't have the time to wash them. But excess of anything is going to spoil the quality of your hair. Using dry shampoo back to back for more than two days on unwashed hair will only result in flaky scalp.

You would know that your hair is fresh and filled with nutrients from your shampoo, conditioner and leave-in products after you wash them. And once you use heat machines on them, these nutrients leave your hair. Now, if you're going to re-apply the heat machines on your hair without any washes, you're only causing more damage to your hair.

Like mentioned earlier, our hair is very sensitive and we're not supposed to ruin them with heat. Hence, taking a warm water shower instead of a hot water shower makes more sense to rinse all the dirt off. So if you're someone who washes your hair with hot water, you need to change that habit as soon as possible.

We've all rested our sunglasses on our head for most times and we can't deny that. It seems to just be convenient that way. But this habit can ruin your hair even more as our hair strands tend to get stuck in the sunglasses for most times and we pull them off all the time. This will weaken our hair from the scalp and we must start avoiding it right away.

Any sort of hair styling that needs you to tug your hair tightly till your crown area will only make them weak from the roots and the scalp. You need to go easy on your hairstyles and tie your hair as softly as possible.

You need to clean your brushes in the same way you clean all your other tools to use. You can wash them with little warm water and shampoo which can take off any debris. Brushing your clean hair with the same brush that you used to brush your sweaty hair will only make your hair oily.
