Hair can be beautiful at one time and messy the next. We all want our hair to be soft and soothing when moving our fingers through it. But, dealing with dandruff or dry hair, it can be very frustrating.
Hair become soft and dazzling after washing it with a shampoo, but the effect does not last forever. Washing your hair properly is important because it keeps hair healthy and lovely for a longer period.
Below you have a list of the most common mistakes people make when it comes to washing their hair.
Mistake 1: You wait as long as you can between washes
Simply, it is up to you. You can wash your hair once a week during winter and on a daily basis during summer. Remember, you should do it whenever it feels like washing.
Mistake 2: You shampoo every wash
If you shower every day, don’t shampoo the hair every wash. This may cause opposite results, causing your scalp to dry.
Mistake 3: You scrub your scalp
Don’t scrub the scalp, but run your fingers through the hair gently instead. This method prevents damage and breakage.

Mistake 7: You towel dry your hair
Never rub the wet hair with a towel as wet hair is very fragile. Pat try gently instead!
Mistake 8: Brushing your hair
As mentioned above, wet hair is very fragile. Therefore, instead of brushing it while it is wet, gently shampoo in order to prevent breakage.
Mistake 9: You always shampoo your scalp
Don’t shampoo the scalp at all times. Sometimes, begin with the nape of the neck.
Mistake 10: You don’t soak your hair
