Tips To Avoid A Bad Hair Day

Say Goodbye To Bad Hair Days!

As professional hairstylists believe that less than 25% of the female population doesn’t know what face shape and the skin tone they have. To pick the perfect hair cut, it is important to know your face shape. To pick the perfect hair color, know about the skin tone. It is a saddening fact that most women know very little about how to style the hair. 

When it comes to knowing the type of hair they have, women are also confused. Even though they have a lot of hair making them think they have thick hair whereas, in reality, the individual strand of hair may be thin, coarse or wavy. This results in many women purchasing and using the wrong hair styling products. In case you have experienced a bad hair day, check out these top 10 reasons why it is so and to avoid them creating the next hairstyling moment. 

Below is given the ten top hairstyle mistakes that hairstylists tell you that most women make:

1. Poor Blow-Drying Habits

Every women’s hair can use some volume, even if poker-straight will look better with some volume the trick is in blow-drying. Blow drying should be made back to front lifting at the roots rather than front to back bringing the hair up using a round brush. Using a vent brush gives even more volume, and the blow dryer should be held at least 12 inches from the scalp and keep it moving. 

2. No Protection

You should be using a thermal protector spray, in case you use a blow dryer, curling iron, and /or electric curlers. The hair is susceptible to damage from the high temperatures without it. To distribute it evenly, comb it throughout spraying it on your hair lightly. 

3. The Wrong Choice

It is a common notion that most women would know their hair type, whereas they don’t have a clue when it comes to picking perfect products for their hair type. Even if you know that your hair is curly, do you know if it is fine, coarse or medium texture? What about color-treated, straight, wavy or thinning? Does your hair need a thick gel or some light mousse? Ask your stylist if you are unsure of the exact hair type. To get the best results, you may need to combine two or more products. Even though it isn’t rocket science, it is close. 

4. Too Much Of A Good Thing

Using too much of the perfect product that women have identified is another mistake. Few styling products are necessary when the hairstylist gives you the perfect hair cut. So that your hair falls into place naturally, no more than a dime size of the product should be necessary. As they are concentrated, you will need even less of serums, or pomades. It looks unwashed and will become a dust magnet when weighing the hair down with too much product 

5. Flat Iron Flattening

As it is evident to most hairstylists, incorrect use of flat iron including forgetting the thermal spray protecting the hair shaft from the heat of flat iron. Start sectioning the hair into small sections almost as wide as the flat iron, after using the protection. Slowly pull the iron down to silken and smooth the hair starting at the roots. You can choose to pull straight out, flip-up or flip under when you come to the end of your hair. 

6. Trying To Style Wet Or Damp Hair

Only dry hair will hold the style completely. To avoid feeling rushed in the morning, you may want to wash it at night in case your hair takes a long time to blow-dry. The hair behaves better when it has had time to recoup some of the oils that have been washed out. apply any styling products that you use and continue to dry the hair on a low to medium setting once the hair is completely dry. You can style after that. 

7. Waiting Too Long In Between Haircuts

Get professional help. To have a great hairstyle, get a great hair cut. Get back to the stylist as soon as the hair begins to grow, as some haircuts look great as they grow out, but in case you like the hairstyle you are wearing. This can happen anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks, and the stylist knows just what look you want. A tip that helps you when you get that perfect hairstyle or hair cut make sure to take a picture, one from the front, one at the back, and both sides and bring them with you. This helps the hairstylist know what exactly you want. A trim of the split ends is very important even if you want to grow your hair out. Before it can split the entire shaft of the hair, frequent trims will cut the split end off. For a smooth and silky look to your hair, this is important. 

8. Over Styling

There is no need to go overboard, unless you are a runway model, or someone embarking on life’s most momentous occasions, like your wedding or prom. The current styles call for natural hair that moves and fall freely. With a proper hairstyle that fits the hair type, this can be achieved along with the use of the right hair styling products. 

9. Under Styling

Opposite to over-styling are millions of women who do exactly nothing. It’s not ‘wash and go’ unless the hair is only a few inches long. With the right haircut, a little bit of blow-drying and a great styling product makes all the difference in the world. It is worth giving a try. 

10. Pick The Wrong Hairstyle Altogether

Women almost always choose a hairstyle that someone else wears. The looks that look good on your favorite celebrity or co-worker may not be the style that fits your face shape or that work with the type of hair texture no matter it is wavy, curly, poker straight or thick and springy. Hairstylists know what your hair will and will not do, as it is best to bring several hairstyle pictures as you visit them for a new hair cut. 

To Conclude

Getting professional help is always essential in deciding the looks that suit your face and skin. Treated hair should be taken extra care and this brings the necessity of experienced hands in dealing with hair which is brittle and unhealthy, just as much as it is needed by healthy hair.
