The Shine Series #4: Hair Don’ts ❌

This post is not sponsored — all tips, observations, and product suggestions are based on personal experience, independent research, and a genuine love for better hair days! 💖✨No ads, no pressure — just real talk and tested advice!

(Most Common Hair Mistakes & How to Fix Them!)

🔥 Heat Styling Mistakes:
Using heat-blowing devices (like hair dryers) or heating tools (like straighteners and curling irons) incorrectly can dry out your hair, cause breakage, and damage it over time.

Solution:
✨Always apply a heat protectant spray or cream before using any hot tools.
✨A heat protectant forms a shield, protecting the outer layer of your hair from long-term damage.
✨Protect your strands before the heat hits!

🚿 Brushing Wet Hair the Wrong Way:
Wet hair is super fragile! Using stiff paddle brushes (like the black one shown) can easily cause snapping and root damage.
Problem:
✨ Dense, stiff brushes like the black one on the left should not be used on wet hair
✨ Wet strands = fragile strands! Always be gentle.
Solution:
✨Switch to a wide-tooth comb or a flexible 3D detangling brush (like the orange one!).
✨They reduce pulling and help minimize breakage while detangling smoothly.

💧 Misusing Conditioner:
Applying conditioner all over your scalp can cause heavy, greasy roots and clogged follicles.

Solution:
✨Always apply conditioner only from mid-lengths to ends.
✨Keep the scalp fresh and clean by avoiding heavy build-up!

Bonus: Curly & Wavy Hair Special Care 🌊✨

🌀 Why Curly & Wavy Hair Needs Different Care:
Curly and wavy hair tends to be drier because natural oils can’t easily travel down the hair shaft.
Wrong brushing or wrong products can flatten curls, cause frizz, and lead to breakage.

Special Solutions for Curly Friends:
🌿 Use curl-specific shampoos and conditioners (like the Kérastase or L’Oréal Professionnel). They are formulated to enhance hydration and define natural curl patterns.
🖐️ Detangle hair when wet using fingers, a wide-tooth comb, or a soft flexible brus.
💧 Moisturize regularly with curl creams or light oils to prevent frizz.
🚫 Avoid harsh brushing when dry — it ruins the natural curl shape!
🛡️ Always use a leave-in heat protectant if you are using a diffuser or any styling tool.
