最常犯的護髮錯誤 The 10 Biggest Hair Care Mistakes

1. 洗髮前不梳頭:頭髮溼時是最脆弱的,所以洗頭前先梳開。如果你喜歡在淋浴時梳髮,先擦護髮素,用手指把打結的地方分開,沖洗前再用寬齒梳理。
2. 只梳髮尾:你可能怕過度梳髮而造成損傷,但頭皮有天然油脂,是自然的護髮素。用木製的毛刷按摩頭皮,可刺激循環和頭髮生長。
3. 過度洗髮:會洗去頭皮健康的油脂,使頭髮失去光澤。
4. 用過多的潤絲精:雖然過多的潤絲精會使髮頂扁塌,但細髮質的頭髮容易損傷,所以還是建議使用,但一定要適量和沖洗乾淨。每週一次用深層洗髮水,以防止殘留物積聚。
5. 用力擦乾頭髮:頭髮摩擦過多會粗糙角質層,導致毛髮無光澤、毛躁或斷裂。
6. 吹理前沒有先護髮:高溫會損壞髮質,吹理或加熱前要用隔熱護髮素為屏障和平滑角質層。
7. 在潮濕的頭髮上使用塑髮電棒:頭髮應該完全乾燥後才可進行熱定型,否則會損傷毛囊。
8. 使用電棒時噴髮膠:髮膠中的酒精成份會因接觸高溫而損傷髮質。應定型後再噴髮膠。
9. 太常刮髮根使頭髮膨鬆:偶爾OK,但常常這麼做會損害角質層。
10. 以為分叉可以修護:一旦頭髮分叉,沒有產品可以修補。唯一對抗方法是預防或修剪。若要掩飾明顯的分叉,可嘗試堅果油或蜂蠟的精華素。

1. Not Brushing Before Washing
A damage double-whammy: Hair is weakest when it’s wet, and wet hair is more prone to tangling. To prevent shower-induced snarls, give your hair a brush before hopping in. If you like to comb in the shower, apply conditioner, untangle strands with your fingers, then use a wide-toothed comb before rinsing.

2. Brushing the Ends Only
You’ve heard that brushing too much causes breakage, but your scalp’s natural oils are one of the best conditioners out there. Massage your scalp with a wooden-bristle brush like Widu to stimulate circulation and hair growth and brush from roots to ends to add luster naturally.

3. Being a Clean Freak
Most heads of hair don’t benefit from daily washing. Chronic washing strips your scalp of healthy oils, leaving your hair lackluster and lifeless. By all means, shower daily, but if you don’t use a ton of styling products, try just rinsing hair with water or using a light, volumizing conditioner every other day.

4. Haphazard Conditioning
We’ve heard to condition only the ends to prevent flat, weighed-down tresses, but fine-haired gals should condition their roots as well since their hair is more susceptible to breakage. Over conditioning is another common snafu. Use just enough to untangle snags and save serious slathering for a once-a-week deep treatment or hair masque like Zerran’s Hair Redemption or DermOrganic Intensive Hair Repair Masque. No matter how you condition, be sure to rinse until the water runs clear and use a clarifying shampoo from time to time to prevent residue build-up.

5. Intense Towel Drying
Most styling products direct you to use them on towel-dried hair, but rubbing hair too much will roughen up the cuticle, leading to dull hair, frizz, and breakage. Blot hair with a towel and shake out the strands with your fingers. Your hair will take longer to dry, but it will be healthier in the long run.

6. Skipping Heat Protection
We all know that heat is one of the most damaging elements to hair. But if you don’t want to live without blow-drying, curling, or flattening, always, always use a heat-protective aid to shield strands and smooth cuticles. I like Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum. Before blow-drying, let hair air dry until just damp (use your fingers to shake out hair to speed the process) and opt for the warm setting instead of hot to avoid habitual heat damage.

7. Using Hot Irons on Damp Hair
Wet hair and hot tools don’t mix. Curling and flat irons can burn the follicles of damp strands, leading to weak and broken tresses. Hair should be completely dry before heat styling, period. Even when you’re in a rush.

8. Using Hairspray Before Styling
Ever hear a sizzle when curling or straightening hair that has hairspray in it? Alcohols in hairspray burn on contact with heat. Always use hairspray AFTER curling or ironing.

9. Teasing with Abandon
For the occasional va-va-voom, back-combing hair toward the root to amp up volume is a celebrated trick. But teasing regularly will damage hair cuticles and lead to breakage. To get the dimension without the damage, try Giovanni Root 66 Directional Root Lifting Spray and blow dry for natural, non-sticky volume.

10. Thinking You Can Mend Split Ends
Sorry ladies: Once hair has split at the ends, there’s no product that can mend it. The only solution for split ends is to prevent them in the first place (e.g. avoiding over-washing, rigorous towel drying, and abusing heat tools)—or to get a trim. For a temporary way to minimize visibly broken bottoms, try using a product with beeswax or a serum with argan oil on the ends to smooth splits.
