Let’s talk about what you’re doing to your hair while trying to help it. You’re probably a serial shampooer. You stand under a hot shower, lather up like you’re putting out a chemical fire, and then you’re surprised your hair feels like straw. Surprise! Hot water and harsh sulfates strip away the precious oils your scalp worked overtime to produce.
And then there’s the towel turban. You know the one—you twist your wet hair into a towel and leave it up for twenty minutes. Fun fact: that rough towel feels like Velcro attacking the cuticle layer of each strand. You’re basically ripping open the hair’s armor, letting moisture flee into the void. Next time, try an old cotton t-shirt. Your hair will thank you by not filing a complaint.
