SKILLS Talk – Episode 6 “THESE BAD HABITS ARE DAMAGING YOUR HAIR”
In this episode, our Senior Barber @barber.mo talks about some of the most common bad habits that people do that are damaging their hair.
1. Using Commercial Shampoo over Chemical-free Shampoo
You should always avoid using a shampoo that has both Sulfates and Parabens because they strip your hair of its natural oils, making it dry and brittle. Instead, use natural shampoos that are made with natural plant oils and herb extracts, most commonly that has coconut oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, and Also don’t forget to use Conditioner because the shampoo alone is not enough.
Your hair gets dry when you use shampoos that have harmful chemical ingredients such as Parabens and Sulfates
2. Doing your Blowdrying near to the scalp
Holding the dryer too close for too long can literally fry the hair and burn the scalp, potentially causing permanent damage to the hair follicles resulting in hair loss and bald patches.
Never blowdry too near your scalp and brush your hair too rough with the brush.
3. Sleeping with Hair Product on your Hair
Products can leave a thick residue on your scalp if it’s not properly washed off, this can clog the pores of your scalp and cause hair follicle reduction. That it means your hair start to grow thinner, weaker, more brittle hairs – which can give an appearance of hair loss.
Hair Products can clog your pores if not washed properly before you sleep.
4. Drying your hair forcefully with the towel
Using a towel is not generally bad but just rubbing your wet hair forcefully with a towel can lead to excessive hair breakage and hair fall. Its thick absorbent fibers when rubbed with the hair actually do more harm than good.
The hair can also become extremely frizzy as the towel ruffles up the cuticles of the hair. Moreover, the weight of the towel itself pulls down the hair, causing vulnerable strands to break.
Another Bad Habit is Drying your hair Roughly with the Towel.
5. Neglecting to moisturize your hair after swimming in the pool or beach.
Both the chlorine and saltwater dry out the hair and strip away its natural oil, making the hair drier and thin. That’s why it is very important to rinse your hair after your swim to wash out all the chlorine and bacteria that was soaked up by your strands to avoid further damage.
Always rinse your hair after you go swimming outdoors and apply moisturizer on your hair to avoid any further damage.
That’s it for this episode, make sure you avoid all these habits if you want your hair to last with you longer. See you on the next episode.

SKILLS Talk – Episode 3 “IS HAIR STRAIGHTENING/ RELAXING A GOOD OPTION?”
In this episode, our Senior Barber @barber.mo talks about what is the Straightening/Relaxing Treatment, and should you choose it over the Keratin Hair Treatment? Let’s find out!
Different types of Relaxers and chemicals used in the Hair Straightening/ Relaxing Treatment Process
The Hair Straightening/Relaxing Treatment is a type of treatment that uses chemicals such as Sodium, Lithium, and Guanidine Hydroxide to straighten your hair. The chemical components have pretty mild effects on the hair but it is very severe on the scalp.
The process of the Hair Straightening/ Relaxing Treatment is it reduces the curl by breaking down the hair strand and reforming the hair’s components by chemicals which softens very tight or kinky curls. The risk of doing the Hair Straightening is if done the wrong way could damage your scalp or burn your hair.
Applying the Hair Relaxer
The benefits of having the Hair Straightening Treatment is it makes the hair more manageable, making it straighter, and saves you a lot of time in styling your hair as well as using the blow-dry and using less hair product.
If you are planning or interested to do your Hair Straightening Treatment in the future make sure to do the following tips and advice for your safety.
Doing the Hair Consultation is Very Important before you do any Hair Treatment/Coloring Procedure
- Find a professional who has a good background in doing the Hair Straightening/ Relaxing Treatment.
- Make sure to do a consultation first if your scalp or hair is capable of the Treatment.
- Inform your stylist about all your past history in the last few months and if you did any hair straightening/relaxing as this could affect the results during the process.
- Make sure to follow the advice of your stylist after doing the Hair Straightening/ Relaxing Treatment in order to prolong d maintain the effects of the Treatment.
- Make sure to only use the home care products advised by the stylist for your hair maintenance
If you got it right, Then Enjoy your new and Straight Hair 🙂
It is advisable to have the Keratin Hair Treatment done after the Hair Straightening Treatment so that you can treat your hair and give it a much healthier and straighter look, as well as combining both treatments can lengthen the duration of the treatment. As normally the Keratin lasts for 2-3 months and the Straightening lasts 6-8 weeks.
That’s it for this episode, I hope you guys learned a lot about the Hair Straightening Treatment and what is the difference between the Keratin Hair Treatment.
