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

DIY Permed Haircut: Avoid the Frizz & Keep Your Curls Bouncy!

Ever tried trimming your permed hair at home and ended up with uneven, frizzy curls? 🙋‍♀️ Been there! Here’s how I finally nailed the at-home perm cut (and didn’t regret it): 💡 Start with clean, dry, product-free hair—this way, you see your real curl pattern and avoid surprises. Cutting dry lets you watch each curl bounce back, so you don’t chop off too much! 📌 Use sharp hair-cutting shears (not kitchen scissors!). Trust me, dull blades = split ends and a choppy look. ✅ Go curl by curl, snipping just above your fingers. Patience is your BFF—watch how each curl springs up before moving on. Shake your hair out often to spot missed bits! ⚠️ Afterward, treat your hair to a deep-conditioning mask. Permed hair craves moisture, and this keeps your curls shiny and happy. Would you dare to DIY your perm, or do you leave it to the pros? Let’s chat! #HairTips #FashionStorytelling #ContentCreator #CurlyHairCare #PersonalBranding #Beauty #HairCare

Stop the Bulk! How to Use Thinning Shears Without Ruining Your Hair

Ever left the salon with hair that felt way too thick or choppy? 🙋‍♀️ Been there! The secret weapon: thinning shears. But using them wrong can turn your hair into a patchy mess (trust me, I’ve learned the hard way). 💡 First, pick the right shears: blending shears for soft texture, chunking shears for super thick or curly hair, and finishing shears for that final, lived-in touch. Adjustable screws? Total game-changer for smooth cuts! 📌 Always start with clean, damp hair. Section it off and work in small pieces—snip diagonally about an inch from the ends for natural movement. Overlap sections slightly so you don’t miss any bulky bits. ⚠️ Don’t overdo it! Check your progress after each pass. It’s easier to cut more than to glue hair back on (wishful thinking, right?). ✅ Comb out trimmed ends and rinse. Voilà—weightless, blended hair that moves! Would you dare DIY with thinning shears, or leave it to the pros? #HairTips #FashionStorytelling #ContentCreation #PersonalBranding #Beauty #HairCare
