Even if most women wash their hair every day to get rid of the excess of sebum, you have to find the cause of this problem to know what your hair needs and what products you need to use.
Here are 8 habits that you shouldn’t do and which could be the cause of hair loss:
1. You touch your hair too often
We know how wrong it’s to always touch your face, but hair makes no exception to this habit. Whether you touch it from boredom or just to attract someone’s attention, in this way you transfer the oils from your fingertips to the hairs.
2. You wash your hair too often
We know you wash it to keep it clean and fresh, but that doesn’t help. Unfortunately, shampoos can remove the natural oils that your scalp needs, so it will produce more sebum instead of being fresh. Try to wash your hair every two-three times a week.
3. You apply too much conditioner
You need to be more careful when it comes to conditioner. Whether you apply a too strong conditioner to your hair type, which can make it lose its texture, or you don’t remove it properly, this is another reason why your hair becomes oily. But most importantly, apply conditioner only on the tips.
4. Aggressive cleaning
If you clean your hair too aggressively, you can stimulate excessive sebum production. At the moment, your hair may have a glossy look, but soon it will get a greasy look.
5. Have a dirty hairbrush
Your hairbrush can accumulate dirt or even different bacteria, all from styling products that have remained soaked in your hairbrush. A dirty brush will transfer all these things to your hair, making it dirty and greasy. Make sure you always have a clean brush for every use to avoid having greasy hair.
6. Have your hairbrush full of hair
Perhaps it doesn’t seem so bad, but if you have the brush full of hair, you only make your hair look dirty, even if you just washed it. Clean your brush on a regular basis.
7. Apply the wrong products
It’s important to use the products that are formulated according to your hair type. Try using products that have a light formula for your hair and avoid those that promise to make your hair brighter and hydrated because those products are suitable for dry hair.
8. Apply too many styling products
Styling products have their role because they either protect your hair from heat or hydrate it, but at the same time it can affect your scalp and make it dry. If you are using dry shampoo regularly, then you should know that you should use it for two, maximum four times a month. Find products that exfoliate your scalp or try a clay mask that purifies your hair.
