What happens if you tie your hair too tight?

Many people wonder why they are losing their hair. They have already done daily cleaning and maintenance, but their hair still becomes dry and lifeless? Why is this? It's time to think carefully about your behavior. In addition to the damage caused by dyeing and perming, your unintentional behaviors in daily life are also secretly damaging the health of your hair. The following behaviors are most harmful to your hair. If you want to protect your hair, you must first correct these bad behaviors.

Hair tied too tightly.

Tying your hair into a high ponytail or bun will tighten your hair and make the hair follicles loose, thus affecting hair growth.

Tying your hair too tightly for a long time can cause permanent damage to the hair follicles and lead to extension hair loss. It is recommended to comb your hair to shoulder length as much as possible, especially when sleeping at night.

Apply setting glue.

Hair styling products usually have a high alcohol concentration, which can easily make your hair dry and sensitive, and can also easily break your hair during styling.

It is recommended to avoid using styling products with high alcohol concentrations, and use care products containing collagen powder to help lock in moisture in the hair.

Apply a curling iron.

The high temperature caused by special tools such as electric heated curling irons and hair dryers can damage the keratin of the hair. Once the cuticle is damaged, the hair will easily lack water, become dry and easy to break.

It is recommended to use heat styling tools less often, limit the use of hair dryers to 2 to 3 times a week, and use ultra-low temperature settings as much as possible.

Sun exposure.

Significant ultraviolet light can damage our hair and make it brittle and easy to fall out, and cause problems such as loose scalp follicles.

When hair is exposed to UV rays for a long time, its elasticity and toughness will decrease. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays will weaken the thin cuticle of hair, making it brittle and easy to fall out. It is recommended to keep your hair loose or use a parasol when going out on a sunny day.

Take a sauna.

This dehydrates the skin, which can cause the hair to become dry, brittle, and very prone to falling out.

The high temperature will also quickly penetrate the pores of the hair and damage the hair, so that the applied conditioner will not have enough time to form a protective layer. It is recommended to lower the shower temperature when taking a bath, and it is best to wash your hair with warm water below 40°C.

Applying too much conditioner

You may think that if your hair is dry and lacks luster, you can solve the problem by applying more conditioner with honey, but the fact is that applying too much conditioner will always increase the pressure on the hair, and the hair that is "lack of nutrition" will become more and more unhealthy! Moreover, when applying conditioner, just apply it to the ends of the hair.

Diet to lose weight.

One of the obvious harms of dieting is hair loss. Hair is mainly composed of protein. Only by consuming enough protein can the hair grow healthily. It is recommended to eat fish, chicken, and beans in moderation to supplement protein.

Comb your hair vigorously

Trying to get rid of dandruff in the shortest possible time? If your hair is dry and frizzy, using the tail end of a wooden comb to shave your hair can indeed temporarily remove dandruff, but you need to understand that the cuticle on your hair will fall off, causing great damage to your hair!

Daily hair care expertise

The temperature of washing hair.

Some people like to take a shower directly under the tap on hot days, which they think is very refreshing. Sometimes female friends just wash with cold water for the sake of convenience. This approach can easily cause the head to catch a cold, leading to a fever. The temperature is too high and it will cause some damage to the hair.

The temperature for washing hair is generally between 40-50°.

The force with which you comb your hair.

After waking up from a good sleep, my hair was a mess and difficult to sort out. Some people with a quick temper will try to comb their hair from top to bottom at once with great force and roughly, which can easily break the hair and damage it.

The correct way should be to grasp the middle area of ​​​​the hair first, slowly comb the ends of the hair first, and then comb from the top of the head downwards.

Common problems with using a hair dryer.

Sometimes after washing my hair, I don’t like the wet feeling, so I use a hair dryer to dry my hair faster. However, the radiation effect of the hair dryer on the body is very large, and frequent use of the hair dryer can easily cause the hair to lose more moisture, and the hair will become more and more dry.

So we just need to dry the hair on our heads to prevent catching a cold, and then the ends of the hair will not be too wet. It is recommended to go out for a walk and let the hair dry.

The part of your hands you usually use to wash your hair.

When you go to a hair salon to wash your hair, you may be asked, "Do you prefer to use your fingernails or fingertips?" It feels very comfortable to scratch your hair with your fingernails. Sometimes your hair will feel itchy, and scratching it will make you feel better.

But the disadvantage of using fingernails is that it is easy to cause a lot of dandruff. If you use the fingertips, because it is the muscles that are in contact with the hair, it not only has the effect of dandruff, but also will not cause so much dandruff.
