Haircare Habits That Are Actually Damaging Your Hair

Our hair is put through a lot of stress on a daily basis. It’s important to have an indulgent haircare routine to leave you with shiny, healthy locks and combat against the ways you are unintentionally damaging your hair. Did you know that many of your everyday habits can lead to breakage? Ginger & Pearl reveal haircare habits that are actually damaging your hair:

Put down the Towel

Whilst efficient, towel-drying your hair can damage it. The rough fabric of the towel rubs against your hair, making it feel coarse and pulling on fragile strands. This can lead to frizz or even hair loss.

Excessive Washing

Your scalp produces natural oils that leave your hair looking healthy and shiny. By washing it every day, these oils cannot be produced which will leave your hair dull and lifeless.

Brushing Wet Hair

Did you know that your hair is actually at its most fragile when it’swet? Aggressively brushing out knots straight after washing can cause breakage and even pull your hair out.

Wearing Tight Hairstyles

Although the slicked-back, tight ponytail is all the rage currently, the style could be damaging your hair. There is a correlation between tight hairstyles and gradual hair loss so try opting for a looser look!
