5 Common Hair Styling Mistakes
1. Frying Your Hair On High Heat
Those hair styling tools can transform your hair in minutes. And at times when you’re in a rush, cranking up the heat for quick results might sound like a good idea. But that’s precisely what you don’t want to do. Styling with excessive heat can lead to dryness, breakage, and frizz. Instead, opt for a lower heat setting and gradually increase it as needed.
2. Skipping Pre-Styling Prep
Rushed into styling without properly prepping? Uh oh, guilty as charged! Skipping essential steps like gently detangling, applying heat protectant and using the right styling products can dampen the end results as well as damage your hair. Take the time to prep your hair properly before styling for a smoother, more polished finish. Our light-weight Argan Oil Heat Protect & Conditioning Mist offers heat protection for up to 230 degrees celsius and intensely conditions your hair along with adding visible shine and bounce.
3. Styling On Wet Hair
No one’s a stranger to wet hair styling. To glide over the flat iron on damp hair, because you’re in a hurry and hearing those sizzling sounds. Yep, that’s the sound of hair damage. Always ensure that your hair is completely dry before heat styling to avoid steam damage and causing unnecessary stress to your strands.
4. Over-using Hot Tools
It's tempting to go overboard with your heat styling tools, especially when you're aiming for that perfect hairstyle within minutes. But excessive heat styling can strip your hair of its natural moisture, leaving it parched and prone to breakage. Limit your heat styling sessions to a few times a week and give your hair some downtime to recover as well.
5. Not Keeping The Tools Clean
Your styling tools need some TLC too! Over time, product buildup and residue can accumulate on your flat iron or curling wand, affecting their performance and potentially causing damage to your hair. Make it a habit to clean your styling tools regularly to keep them in top-notch condition and ensure a flawless styling experience every time!
The Necessity Of Heat Protectant Mist
Heat protectants are literally saviours! They form a protective shield on your hair shaft to reduce the impact of heat styling and thus reduce hair damage.
