BN Beauty: 5 Common Hair Mistakes You Probably Don’t know You’re Making

Did you know that washing your hair and raising one leg can lead to a stomach upset? Okay, that’s a lie – but there are a lot of common hair mistakes you don’t know about.

A show of hands, for everyone who has ever tied their hair with a rubber band or used a heat styling tool on wet hair. Hair mistakes are more common than you may think and if not handled properly, could cost you your beauty as you go along.

So, let’s say goodbye to split ends, dry scalps, bald spots and weak strands…and get rid of these unhealthy hair habits.

1. Applying heat styling tools to wet hair

Just in case this is you, don’t worry we have all been there. You wash your hair, you think you really don’t have the time to blow dry and style, so you just go ahead and style. After all, “heat na heat“, right? Wrong.

Using heat styling tools on wet hair can dry it out and scorch the follicles of the hair. Your hair should always be completely dry and protected before heat styling tools like hot combs, straighteners, curling wands etc are used.

Don’t believe us? Just ask Tori. She is a Youtube Vlogger, who burned off her hair while shooting a tutorial on heat styling. Watch her share her “hilarious” ordeal on the Ellen Show.
