There are the 7 deadly universal
sins that people often commit without realizing but it does horrible things to
your hair and scalp.
Sin#1: Probably the most
unforgivable:
OVER WASHING HAIR
With summer hitting us with the high tide we tend to run into the shower more then once a day if not once daily. A lot of us with greasy hair feel the need to wash our hair daily some even wash their hair multiple times a day. However this is one of the worst things you can do as this strips the hair of natural oils. Hair often becomes greasy when the scalp produces too much sebum, so when you wash your hair you actually stimulate the sebum glands making them produce more oil. In turn making your hair greasier.

Solution: Its time you introduce
yourself to a dry shampoo.
SIN#2
RUBBING YOUR HAIR WITH A TOWEL
If you are not supposed to rub your skin, you are not supposed to rub your hair also.
Rubbing the hair shaft with a towel disrupts the hair cuticle, damaging hair. Which in turn creates frizz and makes hair less manageable.

Solution: Use your towel to wrap
around the hair, then press lightly with the towel to help soak up as much
water as possible.
SIN#3
OVER CONDITIONING YOUR HAIR
NO you don't need to condition your hair every time you shampoo, maybe just twice a week or so, and NO you also don't need to condition your scalp. Conditioner should only be used on the mid sections and ends of the hair where the scalps natural oils don't reach. If you condition the roots which are already coated with natural oils, will cause limp, lifeless hair.

Sin#4
BRUSHING WET HAIR
Wet hair is the weakest. Brushing dry hair already causes alot of breakage and damages hair but brushing wet hair is even worse. It pulls them from the root making them weak and they break.

Solution: Wait for them to dry OR if you have to
Use a wide tooth comb to eliminate tangles on wet hair as the teeth are widely spaced and glide easier through hair, causing much less damage.

SIN#5
APPLYING HAIR PRODUCTS TO SUPER WET HAIR
We have all done it when we are in a rush, so we try to speed up getting ready by applying moose or leave in conditioner on our freshly washed hair straight after stepping out the shower. However doing this you're wasting product. Wet hair isn't as porous so your products just slip off the strands rather attach to the hair shaft.

Solution :Apply your products to
damp hair to make the most of your products.
SIN#6
NOT LEAVING YOUR CONDITIONER LONG ENOUGH
Another conditioner crime! No matter how much you have spent on a product you wont get the most of the product if you wash it straight out. To make the most of a conditioner, you need to let the conditioner penetrate the hair.

Solution: After applying conditioner
leave it on for a few minutes before washing off. This will give the time to
let the conditioner go to work.
SIN#7
IGNORING THOSE SPLIT ENDS
Ignoring split ends is a sin most of us are guilty of at some point. As much as I wish there was a miracle treatment to repair split ends. Remedies and treatments may make them look better or at best temporarily seal them together. The only way to get rid of split ends is to have them cut off.
