5 Things Professional Hairstylists Would Never Do to Their Own Hair

We all have our hair routines — but when the pros talk, we listen. Hairstylists say there are a few things they absolutely avoid when it comes to their own hair. If you’re guilty of one or two of these, don’t worry — we’ve all been there. Here are 5 things to skip, according to the experts 👇 1️⃣ Conditioner on the roots Your scalp is where oil and buildup collect — conditioner belongs on the mid-lengths and ends, where dryness and damage live. 2️⃣ Skipping conditioner altogether Worried about feeling weighed down? There’s a formula out there for everyone. Just like your skin needs moisturizer, your hair needs hydration — especially if it’s color-treated. 3️⃣ Only using sulfate-free shampoo Sulfate-free shampoos are great for gentle cleansing, but sulfates can help give your scalp a deep clean now and then. It’s all about balance. 4️⃣ Drying ends before roots Always dry the roots first. If you don’t, leftover moisture from the scalp will travel down and re-wet the ends — which means more heat damage and time wasted. 5️⃣ Wearing too-tight styles too often Heavy tension from tight braids or weaves can cause long-term damage like thinning or bald patches. Loosen up — your scalp will thank you. #HairTips #StylistApproved #HairCareMistakes #HairCare #HairHacks #NoMoreFrizz
