Among them, use a mask as a conditioner, tear off the white strands and shampoo the wrong kind of hair! #Attempt
Oh, it would all be beautiful, healthy, hydrated and full of life without lifting a finger, right? It would be, but, I am sorry to say, my friends, life does not work that way. And external effects, those beyond our control, such as pollution, excessive heat, and bad practices that are ingrained in our culture, end up not allowing for perfect hair without the least effort.
No way: you really need to use the right products for your type of wire, have them serviced quite often, and especially listen to the opinion of a trusted professional. That’s why MdeMulher talked to some of the top professionals in the market to find out what mistakes (without realizing it) end up destroying the hair of dreams.
See below for expert opinion Didier Sé, Redken ambassador, Douglas Moura, Taiff / ProArt technician, Evandro Angelo of C.Kamura São Paulo, and Rafael Bertolucci, L’Oréal Professionnel ambassador.
1. Use mask as a conditioner
“As dry as the hair is, products have an action that stays much longer on the hair if it is properly maintained. Using a mask in place of the conditioner does not guarantee that the hair will be hydrated any longer, on the contrary, you can saturate the hair of the agents of that mask and then it will stop the effect that promised and pleased you in the first application.
Didier Sé, Redken Ambassador
2. Pull out white wires
“When you pull a strand, it can damage the hair bulb [where the strand actually comes from]. The bulb produces about 5 to 6 wires and sometimes one is white. Therefore, damaging the bulb, it can stop producing all the wires and even in some cases, even causes alopecia ”.
Evandro Angelo , C.Kamura Professional Sao Paulo
3. Spend a lot of time without trimming hair ends
“The idea is to cut the tips every two months. The hair grows 1 centimeter per month and as it grows, it opens the ends. And that little tip needs to be eliminated. ”
Evandro Angelo, C.Kamura Professional Sao Paulo
4. Progressive and do not hydrate the wires
“Many women are progressive and do not hydrate because they think the strands are smooth, hydrated and frizz-free. In fact, they are not. What she did was just change the structure of the wire, without providing the hydration needed to make them healthy. ”
Douglas Moura, Taiff / ProArt Technician
5. Bring products from home to the salon
“You may even have the same product as your hairdresser, but the right storage conditions, proven origin and performance certainty only the professional can offer.”
Rafael Bertolucci, L’Oréal Professionnel Ambassador
6. Secure the hair with elastic
“Not to break the wires, the indicated is the silicone”.

7. Use shampoo for wrong type of hair
“These days there is no excuse, there are several types of products for all types of hair. And it is even necessary to use the shampoo and conditioner indicated for your hair type.
Evandro Angelo, C.Kamura Professional Sao Paulo
8. Use deep cleansing shampoo when your hair is “oily”
“First, you need to understand what is oily: if you wash your hair in the morning and at night your hair looks already dirty, you have an oily scalp. If you can hold on for a good two days, your scalp is normal. Second, if you use a deep-cleansing shampoo, your scalp understands that as aggression and then, as a defense, produces even more oil. Ideally, use products that are problem-oriented and avoid using too much force during washing. ”
Didier Sé, Redken Ambassador
9. Not hearing the professional’s word
“Not letting the professional express their point of view as a visage and coming up with an unchanging opinion in the salon [is a problem]. The chances of frustration acting like this are always higher because the hairdresser can’t offer 100% of his performance either because of fear or even lack of openness. ”
Rafael Bertolucci, L’Oréal Professionnel Ambassador
10. Use very hot dryer on dry wires
“It’s always worth using thermal protectors and knowing how to identify the current health of the wire. If your hair is sensitized, it is best to use a lower [dryer] temperature. ”
Douglas Moura, Taiff / ProArt Technician
11. Use very hot water to wash
“Hair-washing water needs to be warm to cold [so the heat won’t damage the hair].”
Evandro Angelo, C.Kamura Professional Sao Paulo
12. Sleep With Wet Hair
“This way, the hair can’t dry out and sometimes gets damp, which can cause dandruff, fungus, bacteria and even stimulate baldness.”
Evandro Angelo, C.Kamura Professional Sao Paulo
13. Stop Moisturizing Hair
“Moisturizing hair is very important, without hydration it can become dry, dull, without balance or movement. But beware of hydration: Passing conditioner straight to the root can also damage the hair. There are special conditioners to apply to the root, but most are not recommended. ”
