Hair Damaging Habits You Need To Stop Now

Taking care of your hair should be part of your beauty routine, bad habits can make this harder than it needs to be. Bad habits are here with alternatives for you to peruse and learn from. We have gathered all the bad habits you may not be thinking about and that may affect you. We have also gathered alternatives to these in how you should replace these bad habits with better ones.

A good habit can be set with a bit of patience and a few weeks of sticking to something that doesn't feel normal, but will after about 14 to 21 days. So many things you do can be bad for your hair and it will be better for you to change these things to help your tresses look their best. Great looking hair will help you look great overall and will help you feel better about yourself. Great looking hair will also help you have a better first, second, etc impression on clients. This also results in better London escort reviews, as you'll see for yourself.

Bad Food Habits And Better Alternatives

Everything starts here, good health, great skin, and great natural hair. You need to eat well to have your hair looking as best it can. Bad food habits like skipping meals, eating out too much, not eating a variety of vitamins will all lead to dull, limp hair. It may not seem obvious, but beauty starts from the inside and eating right will help you with this tremendously. As a great place to start, you can look for foods with a lot of biotin as this helps hair growth and helps hair look shinier. Protein will also help grow longer, stronger hair.

Other vitamins and minerals are necessary for good hair growth and to maintain a great-looking mane. These can all be found in healthy foods like spinach, fish, eggs, berries, etc. Take a quick peek online for great ideas on how to cook these in different ways so that your diet is never boring. Currently popular and on-trend foods like avocados and nuts can help provide good fats and nutrients for your hair, so go on and eat that avocado toast and enjoy it knowing it's good for you. Get it on a nuts and seeds bread and get a two-for-one hit of goodness. You can also help yourself while you get better food habits by adding supplements in pill form. Many supplement and health stores out there have plenty of options for you that you can easily pick up and add to your daily intake.

Some pills are made with everything you need in one pill and marketed as hair and skin supplements or simply beauty supplements. Be careful of these and read the details on them to see if they have what you are looking to get and what else is included in them. You may want to go with a multi-vitamin and supplement that with simpler options like biotin gels or other options on the market. This science doesn't work the same for each person as every human is different in what they need. Read up on these, do your research, talk to your doctor, see what the options are. From there, make your selections, stick to them for a few weeks and adjust when needed. Note that you will need to give things time to see a difference and thus should give these new supplements a few weeks before you make a final judgment on them.

Some of these can be pricy, so look for no-name brands of them and compare the contents so that you can make the most of your money here. Good supplements that are meant for your hair can also help with your skin, so you can easily get more out of your money here.

Cotton Pillow Cases

Cotton pillowcases can be great because natural fibres are usually better overall than synthetics. They allow the fabric and your skin to breathe better and they can be overall better for your skin. However, these can wreak havoc on your hair, damaging it and making it more unruly. The fibres of cotton can be a bit rough unless they are small and combed, like with Egyptian cotton and higher quality (and cost) cotton.

Since you spend a lot of time in bed, getting that most important beauty sleep, you should make sure you have good quality sheets for your skin, but also for your hair. You can easily have a set of cotton sheets with a different set of pillowcases. Silk is the best material for pillowcases regarding your hair, but a lot of people are not accustomed to silk bedding or simply do not like it against their faces. For this, there is an easy alternative. You can have your bedding be all cotton and still protect your hair.

Do you remember seeing older ladies and some girls on television wearing a scarf on their heads for sleeping? That is called wrapping and you should definitely look into it. This is done by using a silk scarf and wrapping it around your head so that you can protect your hair against the rubbing from the bedding and also from generally messing it up. Wrapping has a few different techniques that most people go for, so you will need to do your research on this as well. You can easily find videos online on how to do it and on which type of wrapping is best for which type of hair. This is also something great when you have just coloured your hair and it tends to transfer to your pillowcases and bedding. You can keep the colour transfer inside of your wrap and less rubbing will help the colour stay nicer longer.

Buns All The Time

Hairstyles can damage your hair and some of these hairstyles are at the height of popularity and trends right now. One of these is the high bun which can be a tight bun that seems more obvious. Messy buns may not seem as obvious but they also can cause similar issues with your hair. Ponytails can also cause the same kind of issues where your hair gets pulled too much.

While they may not be buns, they are the basic same thing when the hair is pulled tight. Pulling on your hair at all times can cause it to start falling out, so you should make sure you give your hair a break by letting your hair down unless you're OK with using hair extensions. Giving your hair a few days off per week is fantastic and will help you get better-looking hair. Also to be considered when you put your hair up in a bun or a pony is the type of hair tie you use. Some of these will break your hair or damage it greatly. As anyone with long hair learns early on, you should never use a rubber band that will break and pull your hair, causing it to have bad ends, split ends, breakage in odd places. These should be avoided at all costs. Some semi-good hair ties have the fabric but also a metal piece where the two ends connect. That metal piece is very damaging to hair and should also be avoided.

While better than rubber bands, these are still dangerous for your hair. A better option is a fully covered elastic without a metal piece. Also available and making a comeback with all the 1990s fashions is the scrunchie which will be the less damaging option, but also will look a bit like a teenager. This is one you may want to keep for home or the gym. Keeping your hair safe from buns is something that is fairly easy, to be honest, and have a variety of hairstyles will not only keep your hair better looking and healthier, it will also keep your style more fun and eclectic.

Hot Tools

This is an obvious one. If it can burn your skin, it can burn your hair. This is the simplest way of thinking about it, but it's also a great way to remind yourself of the damage you can do to your own hair while styling it. The first tool for hairstyling most people ever use is a hairdryer which, when used incorrectly or too often, can damage your hair immediately or over a longer period. To use a hairdryer correctly and avoid damaging or burning your hair, keep the device far enough from your head and use one of the many attachments you can put on it to get the hot air more diffused when using it. You can also simply skip it as often as possible and let your hair air dry. Air drying is the best way to avoid any and all damage from the blow dryer.

Styling tools are another great culprit of hair damage. Between curling irons and flattening irons, you can seriously burn or damage your hair. Each of these should be used in the right setting and for very short periods of time. Irons with different settings are the best here as they have more options and can be adjusted better. The main thing here is not to use them too long and use them as few times as you can. As an alternative, you can easily get curlers that do not use heat. These will however take longer, but if you can get in the habit to use them overnight, you can easily set them before bed and wake up with a nice curl once your hair is dry.

Don't forget to wrap your hair as explained above to avoid your curling hair getting messy in bed. Another tool that is not hot or really a tool but should be considered is your towel with which you dry your hair for a little bit when coming out of the shower or the bath. Rubbing a towel, rough or soft, on your hair can cause accelerating damage. Using a towel should be done in patting motions and not for rubbing. You can also invest in a hair towel that can be wrapped around your hair with minimum twisting and rubbing and can then help your hair to dry by sucking out the moisture for a little while. This will not fully dry your hair, but it will help it get a headstart on things.

Inexpensive, Inexperienced Hairdressers

While mall hairdressers may be decent and inexpensive, independent salons tend to provide their staff with more continuing education and their hairdressers are both kept to higher standards and not as rushed to have as many clients as they can per day. Cheap mall hairdressers can be appealing because of the price (and it's practical too) but in reality, they are not worth the savings. This applies even more when you want to get a hair colouration or special treatments. They are decent hairdressers, but they see so many different heads every day and every week which means they do not build as much of a rapport with their clients.

A more expensive hairdresser is not expensive just because of their location, they are due to their training and their capacity to cultivate relationships with their clients and they keep little files on their clients so that they can keep up with their needs, the best colours for them, the best products for them, etc. This is something that requires time and thus a higher price tag. Hairdressers are a great ally for your looks and you should look for the best one for your needs and style, something that may take a few different appointments and a few failed looks before you find the diamond you need, but once you do, you will know right away and will keep them for as long as you can.
