Washing too often
The first wrong things that we do with our hair is we wash it too frequently. Shampoos are only product to remove the dirt and excessive oil from your hair, but they are also responsible for removing everything good, like natural oils, nourishment that keeps scalp healthy and natural.

Heat products
Usually heat products like curling irons, flat irons, and blow-dryers can rampage the hair like hell. Try use as low heat as possible. If you have to ironing your hair for any occasions please do use heat protectant. It will save your hair from extra damage. However, we encourage blow dryer for styling your hair most of the time. Styling products is a must because that protect from harsh heat. Anyways if the cuticle is damaged from over-styling, the inner core gets exposed that results in dryness we lose the natural luster of our hair.
Shampooing from root to ends
Use shampoo in the scalp area only and let the lather and dirt draining from bottom to top. While using conditioner skip scalp. Apply through the middle to the ends of your hair. Many specialists suggested that shampoo is not useful as it seems. They prefer mild shampoo instead. If you had to use then, avoid mane being rinsed with shampoo.
Rinsing with hot water
Almost everybody prefers the stream of hot water over our head. But the hot water exposes the hair pores that caused defenseless to breakage. Rinsing your hair with cool water is essentially better for hair. If you take a hot shower or bath just make sure you finish with a cold water rinsing.
Brushing too much
Over-brushing, especially brush with dense and sharp bristles can lead to tangling, also hard knots ultimately damaged hair. Over-brushing lead to consistent friction. Friction was resulting in broken hair and split ends. Always brush when your hair is dry. Go over gently, start from the end and slowly working your way up to the root with wider tooth hair brush.
Always putting your hair up
Frequent ponytails and braids can also do harm to your hair. When these pulled very often or even regularly, permanent damage can occur. We generally stick to our favorite hairstyle that puts hair strands tied in the same place for a long period. As a result our hair fibers get damaged causing breakage.
Chemical coloring
Permanent coloring can bring damage to your nice hair. If you are not hiding grey hair you can go for semi permanent color, which is not that harsh and much less damaging to your hair. Avoid chemical colors and learn to love your natural hair color. Avoid blech if you really love your hair.
Harmful products
We encourage organic hair products as opposed to other product lines containing parabens, toxins and other industrial cleaning ingredients. Our regular kitchen has the best and side effect free natural products that we must use as treatments for our hair. Dairy products like egg, yogurt, sour cream, coconut oil, olive oil are useful to restore that damage and recover hair to a beautiful and shiny state. Even beer is great for plumping up tresses and adding volume and shine thanks to the yeast it contains.
