Common Hair-Care Mistakes
Most hair problems are not caused by one bad product. They are caused by small habits repeated every week. Here are the mistakes worth fixing first.
1. Using too much oil, too rarely
A large amount once a month does less than a small, regular amount 2-3 times a week. Consistency matters more than quantity, and results vary by person, hair condition and routine.
2. Skipping the scalp
Oil left only on the hair surface does not reach the scalp. Part hair into sections, apply a few drops to the scalp, and massage gently for 5-10 minutes. See How to Apply Hair Oil Correctly for the full steps.
3. Washing too harshly after oiling
A very harsh shampoo can strip moisture from dry ends. Use a mild shampoo, and condition lengths and ends if they feel dry.
4. Too much heat, too often
Frequent high heat without protection makes dry and frizzy hair worse. Reduce heat where you can, and let hair air-dry when possible.
5. Copying someone else's routine
Hair type, climate, washing frequency and scalp sensitivity all change what works. Start with your own hair type - see How to Choose Hair Oil for Your Hair Type - and adjust amount and frequency over a few weeks.
