Flub #1: You, like 75% of the women in the
United States, dye or bleach your hair regularly. We all know that bleaching
and processing strips your hair of its natural pigment and makes it more
susceptible to breakage and other damage.
Fix: Believe us we know how difficult it is
to let those stray grays go untamed or just live with your natural color when
there are so many other exciting options out there. Thanks to Pureology and
Moroccan Oil you can dye your hair and strengthen it too. Other strengthening definitely worth mentioning include those by Paul Mitchell and Nioxin which just so happen to be buy one get one 50% off right now.

Flub #2: Heat Styling on the Regular
This like the bleaching and dying is kind of
a no-brainer. What doesn’t get damaged when regularly exposed to high heat?
Blow drying and straightening your hair every day or several times a week could
be why your hair is dry, frizzy, and unruly. We would NEVER tell you to give up
your beloved blow dryers and other heat tools because good hair is the
best accessory in our book!
Fix: Lucky for you, we carry a myriad of heat protectant
sprays! Two of our favorites are new Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Primer with Heat
Protection from Redken and Alterna Bamboo Smooth Anti-Breakage Thermal
Protectant Spray.

down.
Flub #3: Brushing Your Hair While it’s Still
Wet
So you like to let your hair air dry to avoid
the flub we just discussed above, but you can’t go to work with a wet mop of
tangles on your head. What’s a girl to do? Brush it while it’s still wet
obviously. Unfortunately, this can cause just as much damage as regular heat
styling (well unless you take the precautions also listed). When hair is wet it
loses 1/3 of its strength. Ripping a brush through it is a oneway ticket to broken
hair city.
Fix: Invest in a good brush, one with
wide bristles like Olivia Gardner Finger Brushes. The bristles are far apart
for lesspulling and breakage. Even with the best of brushes like the Finger
Brush it is definitely important to always brush gently, especially when your
hair is wet.
