Mistake #1 Brushing Wet Hair     

 Dont do it, Water actually weakens your hair's bonds, so running a brush through when it's wet and defenceless will leave you with way more breakage and damage then if you waited 15 minutes after your shower for it to dry slightly.

Mistake #3; Conditioning Your Roots With Unneeded Chemicals

You should be applying your conditioner from the middle of your hair to the tips, while steering clear of roots. (Your scalp makes enough oil naturally to keep the roots moisturised, so adding conditioner on top of it is overkill.)

Solution; Use A Nourishing Conditioner

The award winning Moisture Repair conditioner gently detangles and softens hair while restoring elasticity and manageability with reconstructive keratin and fatty acids.

Mistake #4; Using Sulphates for Deeper Cleansing 

Sulphates are added to shampoos and conditioner because of their deep-cleansing lathers, but often these harsh agents aren't needed, and they can even strip your scalp of its natural oils and nutrients (making it overproduce oil to compensate!) Hello greasy hair!!!

Solution: Use a Sulphate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner

Solution; Use a Hydrating, Best Selling Hair Mask
