There's nothing simpler and more automatic than washing your hair, is there? Or maybe not... Just when you think you know everything about a routine that's been repeated a thousand times, voilà! you discover that you're doing (almost) everything wrong and that you need to change some habits.

In this post, we'll tell you all about the most common mistakes when washing your hair, and how to avoid falling into these traps, promoting healthy growth strand by strand and beautiful, strong, shiny hair!

Extreme water temperature

We already know that our scalp ages much faster than our skin, so how about giving it the pampering it deserves? Starting with the temperature we expose it to. When you wash your hair with water that's too hot or too cold, this can lead to dehydration and the restriction of essential nutrients for scalp health - use lukewarm water whenever possible. It's much nicer and healthier too. Your hair will thank you.

Washing infrequently

The idea that you shouldn't wash your hair too often is just a myth. We've already talked about it in this postand we can't stress enough that factors such as pollution and sweat, to which we are exposed on a daily basis, can damage the health of our hair. In addition, our hair needs some moisture to grow (like fertile soil, that's what it is!) but the natural sebum we produce is too large a molecule to penetrate the hair shaft. Washing our hair regularly helps cleanse our scalp of unhealthy sediments, while moisturizing the hair enough for healthy growth.

Using too much dry shampoo

Because of its characteristics, dry shampoo can be one of the fastest ways to clog hair follicles and inhibit healthy hair growth. That's why it's important to look for a natural and sustainable way to deeply wash your hair and detoxify your scalp, such as our Bergamot and Neroli Shampooformulated with 100% natural ingredients, and perfect for daily hair care. For even more complete care, apply the Bergamot and Orange Blossom Conditionerconditioner, which repairs, nourishes and protects your hair, leaving it silky and shiny.

Don't read the ingredients

You know that feeling of super-clean hair after washing your hair? Mmmm, be wary. Many shampoos contain sulfates that strip the scalp of its natural oils and the good bacteria in the hair, which are necessary to create an environment conducive to healthy scalp and, consequently, the growth of strong, healthy hair. Instead of damaging your hair with chemicals that may have a "miraculous" effect but quickly disappear, invest in good products that are free of artificial ingredients.
