Washing your hair can make or break your hair's health rice. Water can ruin your hair, coconut oil can save your hair and washing your hair with cold water might not be a good idea, contrary to popular belief. So let's get into this list of eight hair. Washing mistakes that you need to stop asap if you want healthy, hair, hair, washing mistake, number one using a hair treatment like olaplex or even rice water before you shampoo, when you have oil and products coating your hair, these treatments are mostly gon na sit on top Of your hair strand, they won't have any impact on your hair's health so because of that, you need to shampoo first and then use the treatment. Usually i recommend not shampooing the ends of your hair, but for a treatment like olaplex. It'S actually a really good idea to gently cleanse all of your hair so that the treatment can work effectively from your roots to the ends. Now, for the second hair washing mistake, you are washing your hair too much or you're, not washing your hair enough, not washing your hair enough can create product and oil build up. This can lead to increased hair, shedding dandruff and an itchy scalp. On the other hand, washing your hair too much can dry out your hair, making it brittle and damaged. Another thing is that getting your hair wet too often can lead to damage. This is because, when your hair is wet, the hair shaft expands and then it shrinks back to its normal size once it dries and when it expands the cuticles are raised and the cuticles are these things on the outside of your hair. That kind of look like the shingles on a roof and they protect the inside of your hair. So when they're raised that makes your hair more susceptible to damage and then just to touch on the shampoo aspect of washing your hair too much. Although i don't shampoo the ends of my hair, typically, the shampoo still rinses down the length of my hair. This can dry out the ends if done too much, especially because the ends of my hair are just inherently drier than the roots they aren't going to be replenished with oil for my scalp. Ultimately, it's about balance and finding what works best for you. People with oily hair are going to need to wash more often, maybe two to three times a week compared to those with drier hair, who would usually have to wash about once a week. Another hair washing mistake: if you are not brushing your hair before you wash it, this is going to lead to increased hair, shedding and breakage, eventually you're going to have to brush it out and all of the movement that your hair goes through when you wash. It is just going to create more knots and more damage as you, comb or brush it out. Also, if you have curly hair, your hair can be a lot harder to detangle. You can condition your hair first. While you have conditioner in your hair, you can gently brush it out and then just rinse and continue with your regular wash routine, but one way or another. You need to detangle your hair before you shampoo. Let'S talk about what temperature you should be washing your hair with a lot of people, make a mistake here, myself included, so warm water helps to rinse away products and build up on your hair. If you think about it, when you're washing dishes, this is the best way to compare it in my mind, it's just so much easier to clean them when you're using warm water versus when you're using cold water, when the water is cold, the food and grease is Just going to get stuck to the plates and it's going to be harder to remove likewise, when you use cool water that can help to keep some of the moisturizing ingredients from the conditioner onto your hair, while rinsing away the bulk of the conditioner. Ultimately, this just comes down to your hair type. If you have really oily hair, you might want to exclusively use lukewarm or warm water on your hair, because, if you're putting conditioner on your hair and then you're rinsing with cold water, not all of the conditioner is going to rinse off, and that is going to Make your hair get oily faster, but if you have dry hair, it's definitely worth it to try rinsing your conditioner with cool water, because, again that's going to help to keep some of the ingredients from the conditioner onto your hair. It'S going to make your hair not be so dry. The next mistake is that you are using too much protein on your hair. This mainly applies to those with low porosity hair. There is protein in a lot of hair care products, and this is a good thing for those with high porosity hair. Your hair is made up of 91 protein which can easily deplete if your hair is porous, porous, meaning that there's a lot more gaps in the cuticle of your hair strand the protein from inside of your hair. It'S just a lot easier for that protein to get out and that's not healthy for your hair. If you lose protein, protein gives your hair structure and strength and elasticity. So if you are losing protein, then you are losing those important characteristics to your hair. So, for those with high porosity hair protein is a good thing to use, but if you have low porosity hair protein, isn't that necessary for you, since your hair isn't losing protein, you don't need to add it back in those with low porosity hair, their cuticles lay Flat neatly on their hair strand, everything that's inside of your hair is going to remain inside as a matter of fact, using protein, heavy hair care products on low porosity hair can actually lead to protein overload. This can cause your hair to become brittle dry and it can actually break off into little tiny pieces at the ends, because the protein is just sitting on top of your hair, just building up and building up, because it can't go inside of your hair strand. This is why, if you have low porosity hair rice, water can be damaging for you, because there is a heavy amount of protein in rice, water there's also protein in olaplex's, shampoo and conditioner, which i found from experience. Those don't really work that great for my hair. It just comes down to your hair type. All of this talk about porosity and protein overload brings me to my next hair washing mistake, and this is that you do not use coconut oil on your hair, i used to think that coconut oil was bad for your hair, no matter what hair type you have, But i found out recently that this is not the case. Coconut oil should be used on the parts of your hair that are dry and porous, and this is because coconut oil actually contributes to less hair swelling when your hair is wet less protein loss and as a result, less damage, because it has the ability to go Inside of the hair, cortex take up space and not allow water to go inside when your hair is wet and this prevents damage so because my hair was chemically treated. I have been using coconut oil on the ends. I only use a small amount. I coat the ends and then i shampoo and condition as usual. Now, if you have low porosity hair, i do not recommend coconut oil, because all it's going to do is sit on top of your hair that can lead to protein overload, just like wastewater and other protein rich products. Oh by the way, the reason why i use coconut oil on my ends is because they tend to be more high porosity, whereas my roots, and even like the majority of the length of my hair, tends to be low porosity. So next we're going to talk about scalp scrubbers. Although scalp scrubbers are relaxing and i used to love them, they make my hair feel extremely clean. I started to notice that over time they make my hair get oily faster. I'M cleaning my scalp too much so my scalp ends up being really really dry and then it's like okay, we got ta, make more oils and it makes even more oils than it did before, and then my hair gets oily by like 12 hours after i wash It you can just skip the scalp scrubber all together and just use your fingers. Another mistake you might be making is not rinsing the products thoroughly from your hair, so having leftover shampoo on your hair can dry it out over time and then having leftover conditioner on your hair can make it oily faster. The conditioner one is definitely more for oily hair because you don't want heavy oily products left on your hair when your hair gets too oily. Lots of things can stick to it like dust and products and dandruff, and that can cling to your hair, create build up and it can clog your hair follicle. It can actually really damage your hair so just make sure to rinse everything off. Also, if you have dry, hair and you're, leaving shampoo on your hair, that is a horrible idea. That'S just gon na dry out your hair, even more all right guys. This has been all of my hair washing mistakes. I really hope you enjoyed this video. Thank you. So much for watching and i'll talk to you guys next time.
