There are a few hair care mistakes that many of us make that can be one of the reasons for hair fall. Before you start fretting over what these hair care mistakes could be or how can you correct them or whether there is any safe hair fall remedies that you can practice in your own home, relax, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few common hair care mistakes that many of us practice.

Using extremely hot water during hair wash

Over-brushing your hair

Using hair conditioner on your hair roots and scalp

Use a clean hairbrush or comb

Choosing the right product

Having breakfast

Always condition your hair

Treat your hair to only the best of hair care

A] Using extremely hot water during hair wash

B] Over-brushing your hair

Brushing your hair for too long is another common hair care mistake that many of you may be practicing. Ladies, most of us might have been advised at least once in our life to brush our hair 100 times at night. However, doing so might cause damage to our hair rather than help it. Brushing your hair does have its positive impact as well but brushing it about 8 to 9 times a day should do the job well as opposed to brushing for too long which can cause the hair to break especially in the case of dry hair.

C] Using hair conditioner on your hair roots and scalp

D] Use a clean hairbrush or comb

While washing your hair properly and keeping it clean is a necessity, so is cleaning your brush or comb. Your used brush usually consists of grime, product residues etc. which should not be passed on to your hair. Regularly cleaning your hairbrush or comb should be a haircare method that you must follow as this is a basic hygienic practice which if ignored can perhaps even lead to scalp infection.

E] Choosing the right product

This is probably the most obvious hair care tip present on this list, but it is also the most important. Different products suit different hair types, so make sure that whenever you choose any hair related product be it a shampoo, a conditioner, a serum etc, choose one that suits your hair and scalp conditions. We also suggest you look into our ultimate hair care solution, the Pantene Open Hair Miracle, which is a 4-in-1 product that acts as an oil replacement, a leave in conditioner, a serum and a heat protectant that nourishes your hair from its root to tip along with our Pantene Advanced Hairfall Solution range of shampoos and conditioners.

F] Having breakfast

While we know that the most crucial meal of the day is breakfast, what is its relation to hair? Well, our body provides our hair with the necessary nutrients required only after it has supplied the same to the rest of our body parts. Our hair only receives these nutrients if they are in excess. When we do not have breakfast, our body cannot provide our hair with the required amount of nutrients. This is because the body itself is making use of the reserve nutrients from yesterday’s meal. If the hair suffers from this constant lack of nutrients, it can become weak. Hence, breakfast is essential for our hair.

G] Always condition your hair

Yes, you read that right, always condition your hair. Skipping a conditioner can not only make your hair frizzy and unmanageable but also lead to bad hair health in the future. Now we know you gals are busy and might hate to spend those extra 5 minutes in the shower to condition your hair, in such a case, you can opt for our <a style="color: #C15801;" href="/en-in/browse-by-collection/silky-smooth-hair-care">Pantene 2in1 silky smooth</a> which has the benefit of shampoo and conditioner in one bottle.
