5 Everyday Habits That Are Secretly Damaging Your Hair
Share
We all want beautiful, healthy hair — yet many of us unknowingly sabotage it with small daily habits. Here are five of the most common mistakes and how to break them.
1. Over-Washing Your Hair
Washing too often strips natural oils, leaving your scalp dry and your ends brittle. Switch to 2–3 times per week and use a restorative mask like VAO once weekly.
2. Sleeping with Wet Hair
Wet hair is fragile. Sleeping without drying can cause breakage and tangling. Instead, dry gently and braid loosely before bed.
3. Using Hot Tools Daily
Straighteners and curling irons weaken the keratin layer. Use heat protectant sprays and limit use to 2–3 times per week.
4. Ignoring Scalp Health
Your scalp is your hair’s foundation. Regular exfoliation and moisturizing masks (like VAO) maintain balance and boost growth.
5. Skipping Deep Conditioning
Conditioner alone isn’t enough. A weekly deep treatment helps restore moisture, smoothness, and resilience.
Pro Tip: Combine lifestyle adjustments with consistent care — and you’ll start noticing visible changes within a few weeks.
