5 Common Hair Care Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)
Share
Ever feel like your hair could use a little extra love but don’t know where to begin? At Hair Dynamics Salon in Fort Lee, NJ, we’ve seen it all. Small, everyday mistakes can lead to frustrating hair days—but with a few simple tweaks (and the right products), you can turn things around.
Whether you’re fighting frizz, flatness, or dryness, these expert-backed tips will help you get back on track. Let’s jump in!
1. Using the Wrong Amount of Product
The Mistake: Too much product can weigh your hair down. Too little and it won’t do its job.
The Fix: Less is more—start small, then build if needed. For mousse, a golf ball-sized amount is usually just right. Rub it between your hands and apply evenly to damp hair.
Try this:
✨ Kenra Medium Hold Mousse – Adds volume and body without making your hair stiff or crunchy.
2. Uneven Product Application
The Mistake: Applying product randomly can leave some areas greasy while others stay dry and frizzy.
The Fix: Section your hair and use a wide-tooth comb to spread product evenly from roots to ends.
Try this:
✨ Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray – Lightweight, anti-humidity, and a go-to for smooth, glossy results.
3. Forgetting About Your Scalp
The Mistake: A healthy scalp = healthy hair, but it’s often overlooked. Buildup, flakes, or itchiness are signs it needs more attention.
The Fix: Use a clarifying shampoo weekly and give yourself a gentle scalp massage in the shower to boost circulation.
Try this:
✨ Malibu C Un-Do-Goo Shampoo – Deep-cleansing and color-safe, perfect for clearing out buildup.
4. Heat Styling Without Protection
The Mistake: Skipping heat protectant? That’s a one-way ticket to dry, damaged strands.
The Fix: Always apply heat protection before using hot tools. Think of it as your hair’s daily armor.
Try this:
✨ IGK Good Behavior Spirulina Protein Smoothing Spray – Protects up to 450°F while taming frizz and adding shine.
5. Ignoring Regular Maintenance
The Mistake: Avoiding trims or using a dirty brush can lead to dullness and breakage over time.
The Fix: Book trims every 6–8 weeks and clean your brushes weekly with shampoo and warm water to prevent oil and product buildup.
Try this:
✨ Osis+ Volume Up Spray – A quick boost of volume on clean, brushed-out hair.
Bonus Tip: Don’t Underestimate Mousse
Need volume? Mousse is a must. It’s the secret behind that bouncy, salon-fresh blowout.
Try this:
✨ Color Wow Bombshell Volumizer – Delivers serious lift when applied section-by-section at the roots.
