Hair Mistake: Over Highlighting

Nick Arrojo, founder/owner and master stylist at ARROJO Studio has a great tip to help hid over highlighted hair. Over highlighting your hair leads to highlights that are beyond obvious. If your highlights are too obvious, one thing to do is pin the lightened sections inside the rest of the haircut. The effect you’re going for is to hide them away with only small splashes of color popping through, giving you a more lived-in beach-ready look.

Hair Mistake: No Trimming

While some women can go for what seems like years without trimming their ends, chances are that woman is not you. One of the biggest hair care mistakes you can make is not trimming your ends when they look crazy. It's one thing to put it off for a week or two, but months? No, you are only fooling yourself. Raggedy ends do not look good and what's worse is that the damage just continues up the hair shaft and when you finally do trim, you will be losing much more length.

Hair Mistake: Over Washing

Kinky, curly, textured, relaxed, or however else you would like to describe your hair doesn't need to be washed every single day. Over washing will strip your hair of it's natural oils and make it dry and damaged. At the most you should only be washing your hair with shampoo twice a week. Please note, I said at MOST. Lathering up with shampoo twice a week would reek havoc on my hair, but everyone's scalp is different.

My Regimen for Washing:

I only shampoo once a week

If I co-wash I do not use shampoo, instead I use a conditioner and vigorous motion to cleanse my scalp.
