Washing and conditioning your hair wrong.

• Washing too often
• Using too much shampoo
• Using the wrong shampoo and conditioner: Not all hair types are created equal, so it is important to use products formulated for your specific type of locks. If you have fine hair, for example, a volumizing shampoo may not be effective when used on its own. Instead, try using a volumizing root lifter that adds volume at the root and leave-in conditioner throughout the rest of your strands for softness and shine. Also make sure to read labels so that you can avoid ingredients that can cause damage like sulfates or parabens. You’ll want to look at ingredient lists on both bottles before purchasing them because some brands will put their best ingredients up top while putting fillers down below – this means they may not even include all active ingredients listed on their labels!
• Using hot water: This one seems obvious but sometimes bad habits slip through even us beauty editors! Hot water opens up pores which causes dirt buildup and makes it harder for your scalp’s natural oil production process (which helps keep skin healthy) kick into gear properly.”

Brushing it too much.

• Brushing it too much.
• Using a fine-tooth comb.
• Using a brush in the shower.

Not using a sulfate-free shampoo.

Sulfates are found in most shampoos and conditioners. They’re a detergent that cleans away dirt, oil and other impurities from your hair. However, they also strip it of natural oils that keep hair healthy and shiny. That’s why you should use sulfate-free products instead.

For example, I use a brand called Desert Essence Organics because it’s 100 percent organic and doesn’t contain any parabens or petroleum byproducts (which can cause cancer). It’s also free of synthetic fragrances—a common ingredient in many conventional shampoos that can have adverse effects on your health over time—and is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin types like mine!

Colouring it too often.

Colouring your hair too frequently can cause a lot of damage to your locks, as well as lead to split ends and dullness.

There are many reasons why people choose to colour their hair, including personal preference and the desire to cover grey hairs or change the overall tone of their locks. However, if you’re new to dyeing your hair or have recently changed up your colour palette, it is best not to overdo it with frequent treatments. If you find yourself wanting a different look every time you visit the salon (or even more frequently than that), consider limiting yourself to once every six months instead of every month.

If you do decide on a drastic change in colour for your tresses—such as going from black-as-night brunette tones all the way down at one end of spectrum into vibrant reds on another—then opt for an ombré effect instead: this means that instead of doing everything at once (which can lead us back up again), try fading out some colours gradually into others so they blend naturally together without looking too unnatural or jarringly different!

Using the wrong products for your hair type.

What do you do if your hair is dry?

What do you use when it’s oily?

How about damaged? Or thin? Or thick? Here’s what to use for all the different types of hair.

Eating the right things and staying hydrated.

In order to keep your hair looking great, it’s important to make sure that you’re eating the right things. The following are a few of the best foods for healthy hair:

• Eat more fruit and vegetables. Your body needs vitamins and minerals in order to grow strong, so don’t forget to pack in some extra produce every day.
• Eat less processed foods. These products are full of preservatives, dyes, and chemicals that can have an adverse effect on your hair health over time if consumed often enough (and this goes for any food).
• Eat less sugar and refined carbs like breads or pastas made from white flour. As we mentioned above, sugar can be very drying when applied directly onto your scalp; therefore it’s best not to consume it in high quantities at all times unless necessary (such as when baking). If you do need some sweetness after cutting out refined sugars entirely for several days straight then try using honey instead since it has many beneficial properties which may help promote growth instead!

Invest in good products and talk to a stylist to learn what works best for you and your hair type.

As with most things in life, it’s important to invest in good products and talk to a stylist about what works best for you and your hair type. For example, I have thick, curly hair that can be difficult to manage at times. A friend recommended I try using a mouse instead of gel on my roots (the base of the strand) because it helps tame frizzes without weighing down curls or making them crunchy. I’ve been using this product for years now and love it!
