6. Comb Your Hair Before Washing and Avoid Brushing Wet Hair
This might seem simple, but this trick can significantly reduce dry and split ends. Brushing your hair before washing helps it stay in place when you wet it, allowing for easier lathering without tangling. It also minimizes hair breakage caused by friction and prevents damage to the roots. After washing, your hair will be smoother, but remember not to over-wash it as that can negatively affect your hair.
A particularly important note is to never brush your hair when it's wet. At this time, both your scalp and hair are more sensitive. Brushing wet hair can lead to scalp damage and excessive hair loss. Not only will you lose hair during brushing, but weakened hair follicles will also fall out more quickly afterward. This is why it's essential to comb your hair before washing it.
7. Ideal Hair Washing Frequency
Letting your hair get too dirty can cause more hair loss when you avoid washing it. On the other hand, washing your hair too frequently isn't ideal either. While daily washing may feel refreshing and clean, it strips your scalp of essential moisture. The chemicals in shampoos can weaken your hair, making it dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Frequent use of heat styling tools like blow dryers can also dry out your hair. No matter how much you care for your hair, if you don’t pay attention to the frequency of hair washing, you won’t see the recovery you expect.
That said, waiting a week or two to wash your hair isn’t ideal either. A very dirty scalp can clog pores and hinder new hair growth. Plus, excess oil buildup can cause discomfort and unpleasant odors. Ideally, washing your hair 2 to 3 times per week is the perfect balance for most people. If you don’t go out often and the weather is cool, washing twice a week should suffice.
