Washing your hair. A simple task, right? Wet it, lather it, and rinse it — and that’s it. Think again. After chatting with the\u00a0Living Proof<\/a>\u00a0crew, we learned about several hair washing crimes that most of us are guilty of committing…until now. From cheap ingredients to brushing your hair wet, check out their handy tips below.<\/p>\n

Piling Your Hair on Top of Your Head While Shampooing<\/strong>
\nThis causes more tangles, more friction, and more damage. Instead, emulsify the product in your hands before applying to the scalp. Work shampoo into your hair in a zig-zag motion to break up the dirt and oil, and then you can move towards your ends.<\/p>\n

Skipping Conditioner<\/strong>
\nNo matter how oily or fine your hair is, do not\u00a0<\/em>skip conditioner. Shampooing is an abrasive act within itself, while conditioning is meant to rehydrate, restore, and detangle the hair. If you\u2019re skipping the conditioner, your hair will be quite tangled, causing you to aggressively work that brush through your hair and causing some serious damage.<\/p>\n

Using Drugstore Shampoo and Conditioner<\/strong>
\nWatch those ingredients. There are some less-than-desirable ones in the less expensive brands that fall under seemingly harmless names (i.e. sodium lauryl ether sulphate or sodium laureth sulphate).<\/p>\n

\"Tangle<\/a><\/p>\n

Brushing Your Wet Hair<\/strong>
\nYour hair can stretch to 50% of its original length while wet. That means that if you\u2019re battling with tangles, your hair is a lot more likely to break. If you need to brush your hair while it\u2019s wet, use a wet brush, tangle teaser, or wide-tooth comb and always start at the bottom, working your way to the top.<\/p>\n

(FYI, we are completely obsessed with the Original Tangle Teezer<\/a>\u00a0in case you’re looking for an awesome wet brush option!)<\/em><\/p>\n

Turning up the Water Temperature During Your Shower<\/strong>
\nUsing super hot water will cause the cuticle to lift. A lifted cuticle loses color faster and creates a more frizzy finished look. Rinse with cold water to seal the cuticle and create less frizz and more shine.<\/p>\n

Not Brushing Your Hair Before You Get in the Shower<\/strong>
\nThis one is specific to those who can\u00a0<\/em>brush their hair while it\u2019s dry (aka not our curly friends). Brushing your hair while dry reduces the amount of wet detangling you\u2019ll have to do, resulting in less breakage.<\/p>\n
