With the internet buzzing with dozens of articles, random YouTube videos, and even old traditional practices – it can be hard to tell what is and isn’t healthy for your hair. Quite often, people get confused and make dozens upon dozens of mistakes when dealing with their hair.
These practices ultimately damage your hair and deteriorate its health over time, causing various problems such as itchy scalps, hair fall, dandruff, split ends, and much more. We’ve picked some of the biggest mistakes people make when dealing with their hair so that you can avoid them and set yourself on the path to healthier hair.
Washing hair too regularly:
It’s a common misconception that you have to wash your hair every day to keep it clean and healthy. That’s not true at all. This is very dangerous as constant washing can deprive your hair of essential oils that it needs to remain healthy. A wise choice is to wash it every other day and condition just twice a week.
This makes sure that your hair follicles are getting the right amount of lubrication and essential oils for them to remain healthy and look better. If not washing your hair annoys you, you can try using a dry shampoo.
It’s also good practice to use natural oils on your hair and massage it in from time to time as it helps with the overall look of your hair and, most importantly, its health. You can find these creams or oils in most supermarkets and give them a go if you want to improve your hair’s health!
Using the wrong shampoo:
We need to understand that every person has different needs for their hair. You have to use shampoos that are most appropriate for your particular type of hair and condition. If you want to have nourished and moisturized hair, then nourishing shampoos are the best. If you color or dye your hair, then it’s essential to use softer shampoos that don’t fade the color away – you definitely wouldn’t want that now, would you!
The pH value for shampoos can value as well, and it’s worth considering which one suits you best as it can drastically affect your hair’s health. The next time you buy shampoo, make sure you don’t pick just any shampoo but try and see what best suits your hair and needs!

Playing around with wet hair:
You should know that wet hair is more susceptible to damage and tying, braiding, or doing other things to your hair while wet can damage it by breaking it or making it brittle. It’s a widespread practice to try and do harsh things to wet hair; however, it’s usually better to let it dry before you make any tight knots or braids.
Brushing hair too often:
Surprisingly, right? Brushing hair too often can make it weaker due to the constant pulling and friction between the strands. This results in your hair being weaker and damaged. As a consequence, the chances of hair-fall drastically increase.
Another interesting thing about brushing too often is that it can make your hair even greasier. As you brush regularly, you also subtly strip off some of the oils on the hair; thus, more of these oils are produced by the scalp and can make your hair look greasier if you do this regularly.

This even applies to running your hands way too much through your hair – we know the urge can be irresistible at times. But you should most certainly try to control it.
A bad diet:
Quite obviously, the food we eat has a huge effect on the health of our hair. It would be best if you tried and regularly eat fresh fruits and vegetables and nuts and dry fruit to have the necessary vitamins and compounds in your body to ensure that your hair is in good shape.
These are some basic tips when dealing with your hair. Many of these practices are not common due to the lack of awareness and the constant bombardment of information from internet sources. Nonetheless, our job at Top 4 Hair and Said Youssifson’s vision is to make sure that you know how to keep your hair in good shape and keep it healthy all the time.
Try incorporating these simple practices into your hair routine, and you’ll see a huge difference over just a short amount of time.
