Read This Girls! What Not To Do To Your Hair
Back To Articles
There are so many articles that tell people what to do to their hair that it can almost be confusing. Do you put eggs in your hair, or do you put mayo in it? Is beer better than vodka for your hair? If shampoo takes oil out, why use hair oil for a smoother and healthier shine to the hair? See, confusing. With all the information of what to do, it might be easier to look at what not to do to your hair.
1. Wash it every day- While it can be beneficial to wash your hair every day if you swim in the ocean every day or play in oil every day, for most people it is simply a manner in which to get split ends and damaged hair. Wash your hair every other day at the most to ensure that the body’s natural oils are able to repair the hair properly and that the hair remains healthy.
2. Blow dry the hair dry- While blow drying the hair can be nice in the winter when it might freeze, for most days it is unnecessary and damaging. Blow drying the hair until it is bone dry only helps to increase the frizz factor in the hair and increase the number of broken or split ends that one has.
3. Use heavy products like volumizing shampoos and conditioners- Everyone wants thick heads of hair, but not every one was blessed with it. To combat thin hair, companies have come out with volumizing shampoos and conditioners that coat the hair with waxes and such to make for a thicker head of hair. The only problem is that the wax can become too heavy and dull the hair or damage the hair. If you are going to use these, use a clarifying shampoo once a week or so.
4. Use alcohol in the hair- Alcohol of any type has a tendency to dry out the hair or burn the hair. Neither of these results are what one wants when they use a product on their hair.
5. Dye the hair frequently- There are many different hair dye companies that claim their product is safe enough for consistent usage. However, these companies also recommend not re-dying until six weeks after the first dye. Most hair dyes have ammonia in them and that is a degreaser which can damage the hair. Take the full six weeks and then some before re-dying.

| I just want to say I agree with Leah in regards to the greasy hair because I can now go 3 days before it shows signs of needing a wash | |
| ellabella | 09-06-2008 |

| miNi | 09-05-2008 |

| Leah | 09-05-2008 |
| Carly - washing everyday actually makes your hair produce more oil to compensate for the drying effects. I just gradually waited longer between washes until I could go a few days and now I dont have that grease problem. | |
| Carly | 08-31-2008 |

| The best thing for dull, dry, damaged hair and to help hair grow healthier is use a leave in Extra Virgin Olive Oil treatment to your hair for atl least an hour or longer the better. Also at least once a week. | |
| Megan | 08-18-2008 |

| I dont have very shiny hair, how can i make it shine? | |
| Jess | 07-31-2008 |
| Also if your hair is oily try not to take to many baths because your hair can get in the dirty water that contains all the dirt from your body, and we dont want that in our hair! Also blow-drying your hair until it is all the way dry doesnt completly damage your hair as long as you do it right. (I use a cream that u can lather on the tips of your hair. it is available for $10 at the local drugstore, and it helps your ends from getting frazzled). the trick is to blow-dry your hair with really cold air after you are finish from the part-line down to tame your frizzies(and that reallly dos work!) | |

| Tips for people with oily hair who say they need to wash it every day....wash it, just not with shampoo. Just wash it with water and it will get the excess oil out, but allow some of the oil to move to the end of your hair and hydrate all of your hair. So every other day, wash it with shampoo. The days in between, wash it with just water. And never put conditioner on your roots | |
| Melissa | 07-28-2008 |
| IF you wanna avoid frizz never towel dry your hair:/ | |
| Megan | 07-28-2008 |
| About the whole blow drying thing, if i dont blow dry my hair it gets very wavy and un controllable. also i am very busy and dont have time to let my hair air dry espesially because i have to straghten it too. | |
| Kimberly | 07-19-2008 |
| I have really greasy hair. I have to wash my hair everyday. Any tips on good shampoo? | |
| Paris | 07-19-2008 |
| What about Mayo? Is that good for your hair? Or eggs, is that good for your hair? | |
| Sarah | 07-18-2008 |
| This seems totally fullproff. It also really cuts down on the confusion. | |
| Emily | 07-17-2008 |
| Some of what your saying is true but other things i dont agree with, as a hairdresser i know some ranges of shampoo coat hair in a heavy man made plastic however slon bought volumising products dont weight the hair down, insted they support each strand of the hair at the root to give a thicker look and more volume. for people with greasy hair a volume shampoo is the best as it is often the lightest form of shampoo. | |
| Alexandra | 07-16-2008 |
| Yea,, this was sort of helpfull. But for me, my hair gets very oily. So therefore every single day I have to wash it because if not it bothers me and my head feels very unconfortable and ITCHY. So therefore I have to wash it every day I also have to blow dry it because when I dont, I find thats when my hair gets Oily more often, but during the summer months i dont dry as much with a hair dryer I just go outside and let it dry with the sun and wind, well after i dry it a bit with my towel... | |
| Tori | 07-15-2008 |
| I dont completely agree with this. Not everyone can get away with not washing there hair everyday. I have very oily hair and MUST wash it daily. Also, i keep my hair dyed (but still follow the more than six week period) in order to cut down on the oil. If your going to write about what not to do, you should do so for all hair type and situations. This one seems to be catered towards dry hair types... | |
| Angela | 07-15-2008 |
