Avoid these 7 worst habits that “destroy” your hair! Instead, adopt these beauty habits to enhance and enhance your hair.

The worst habits to avoid and that damage your hair

Your sleep as a sleeping beauty could have disastrous consequences on the health and beauty of your hair. Here are 7 tips to prolong the shine and health of your hair.

You damage your hair if you sleep wet hair

Hair is more vulnerable when wet. Going to bed right after your shower could damage them and cause the ends to pitch in, says Ted Gibson, celebrity stylist. “Wet hair that rubs on the pillowcase overnight can scratch the cuticles and become dry and frizzy,” he said.

If you shower in the evening, make sure your hair is completely dry before you go to bed, he advises.

You tie your hair

Never use a tight elastic band. “The rubber bands, especially if your hair is wet, tend to form a fold that pulls the entire surrounding area,” warns Ted Gibson. He suggests using hairpins, while Kylee Heath opts for a darling whose flexible fabric tie is softer than an elastic.

You still have knotted hair

A bun keeps your hairstyle from the night before, says Ted Gibson. However, over-tightening your hair in a bun or ponytail can damage it. “If your hair stays tied day and night, your elastic or headband could cause friction breaks,” says Kylee Heath, celebrity hairstylist.

If it’s impossible for you to live without tying your hair, sleep with braids: they are softer for the hair and give them pretty waves, she suggests.

You skip the brushing step

Your mother was right: brushing your hair before going to bed is a great way to stimulate your mane. Your scalp gives off natural oils that brushing distributes to all strands. “The distribution of these natural oils on your hair before bed stimulates the scalp and hair follicles, which encourages growth,” says Ted Gibson. As a bonus, brushing is relaxing and could help you sleep better, not to mention that better sleep is synonymous with healthier hair, he adds.

Cotton bedding can be hard on your mane

Silk is softer than cotton and is not as rough for your hair when you lay your head on the pillow. “The contact of the silk with the hair creates no friction,” says Kylee Heath. “This material reduces frizz and hair loss when you move.” Treat yourself to a silk pillowcase for royal sleep and a superb hairstyle.

You don’t rehydrate your hair deeply

If you wash your hair in the morning, take advantage of the evening to revitalize it with products that you rinse off when you wake up.
Kylee Heath likes to soak her tips with a moisturizing conditioner, while Ted Gibson favors coconut oil. “… which restores cuticles and hydrates hair during your eight hours of sleep,” he says. In the morning, rinse off the conditioner or oil for silky hair.

You go to bed without removing your hairspray

“A fixative can really dry out the hair,” warns Kylee Heath. In the same vein, she advises against removing it by rinsing since it is not good to sleep with wet hair. Remove clips and pins and use a leave-in conditioner to dissolve the hairspray; then brush your hair to remove it.

Cold, sun, pollution … the hair can quickly damage due to external aggressions. But internal factors such as stress, or even fatigue also play a role. To remedy this, and as with everything, we try to take care of ourselves on a daily basis by having a healthy lifestyle. We eat healthy and balanced, we get enough sleep, we play sports …
Then, you can act directly on your scalp with a few natural remedies or grandmother’s tips to take care of your hair.

Oil baths

Vegetable oils contain many benefits and help nourish the hair. To take advantage of it, the principle is simple: we apply oil to dry hair, for 30 min to 1 hour (or better: overnight if we protect ourselves well to avoid staining the sheets!). Then, we cover our head with a charlotte or a hot towel if we want to improve the absorption of the oil and offer a moment of relaxation. “We choose an organic oil of 1st cold pressing.

It is quality that comes first to keep all the nutritional qualities of the oil. In general, you hang coconut, olive, sesame or avocado oil. You can also take jojoba oil, black cumin or argan oil, but they are more expensive, “comments Elodie-Joy Jaubert . Then we make two very foaming shampoos and rinse.

This oil bath is done once a week or every two weeks for oily hair and twice a week for others.

We take some precautions: we cover all the hair but we take care not to put too much oil. It should not drip! For fine hair, there too we have a light hand otherwise they will quickly be weighed down.

Elodie-Joy Jaubert then suggests applying a plain yogurt mixed with a teaspoon of honey to bring shine to the hair.

A white clay mask

Clay is often used in hair care. White clay is particularly soft. Rich in minerals, it also absorbs toxins from the scalp, and is very effective on damaged hair.

“We can put 4 heaped tablespoons of organic white clay powder and add a little water to obtain a paste that is neither too liquid nor too thick. We apply it with a brush or with our fingers on the roots to nourish them and we extend over the lengths and ends.

We leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing the hair, “explains the specialist. We can repeat the operation every 10 days.
In some people, clay can have a drying side. To see therefore according to what suits you the most.

Hydrosol sprays

Another natural remedy to help damaged hair: the hydrosol spray. Although it moistens the hair, it has the advantage of being less embrittling than water and allows you to enjoy the benefits of plants. Elodie-Joy Jaubert thus recommends chamomile, orange blossom or even green tea hydrosols which provide care and shine. We spray them on her hair when we want.

Egg care

Although they are rarer today, there was a time when it was common to see egg shampoos on store stalls. It must be said that they have real benefits for them. “Eggs are a source of proteins and vitamins B, A and others that our hair needs to be in shape. We beat an egg and apply it to our hair like a shampoo. Then we rinse but with cold water; otherwise beware of the damage to remove it! “warns Elodie-Joy Jaubert.

Good habits to take

In addition to these remedies, we review our habits. This avoids leaving your hair wet for too long. “Their scales are then swollen with water. They open and become more sensitive to attack. I recommend drying them with the hair dryer but at moderate heat. For curly hair, they are only half dried with a towel because moisture is necessary for the formation of curls, �recommends the expert.

We brush our hair when it is dry or very delicately with a wide tooth comb. We vary our hairstyles so as not to always put the elastic in the same place. We prefer organic vegetable dyes which sheath and protect the hair fiber rather than aggressive chemical coloring. Finally, Elodie-Joy Jaubert suggests taking a silk or satin pillowcase that will dry out your scalp less than a cotton pillowcase. Enough to take care of your hair and restore it to full vigor!
