I’m a hairdresser & there’s four things I’d never do – & why you should shampoo your hair THREE times

A PROFESSIONAL hairdresser has revealed the four things she’d never do because they can ruin your healthy locks.

The hair guru, who is from the UK and posts under the acronym @Girlfrombrumtown_new, took to TikTok and shared an informative video where she begins: “The first thing I’d never do is shampoo just one time – always two and if the hair is full of product, potentially even three.”

Among the expert’s top tips included shampooing your hair at least twice[/caption]

She continues: “It’s very important because the first shampoo only removes the outside pollution from the hair.”

“The second and third shampoo actually washes and cleanses the scalp.”

Next, the hairdresser advises social media users stop using shampoo with silicone in.

“I know that we can’t all afford salon-branded shampoo and conditioner but if you use something without silicone in, at least you’re making a start,” she explains.

“I think it’s important to understand why….when you’re wondering why your hair keeps getting greasy and dry, then greasy and dry, it’s because the hair is coated in silicone.”

So any shampoo that you try and wash your hair with it’s sort of bouncing back and the conditioner isn’t going into the hair and into the scalp, and isn’t moisturising the hair.”

She then goes on to urge people to never go to bed with wet hair.

“Constantly going to bed on your pillow with damp hair creates mould spores in your pillow,” she explains.

“And I don’t know about you but I don’t think people regularly wash their actual pillow. Basically, you’d need to replace it often to stop you breathing in mould regularly.”

The hair expert adds: “I don’t think people actually realise you can grow mould spores on your hair strand.”

Not just that as well but going to bed with your hair wet and up actually causes a lot of breakage to the hair because your hair is most vulnerable when it’s wet.”

Last but not least, she advises: “Never ever straighten or style damp hair.”

This is very important…If you hear a sizzle, you’ve just created a burn. You’ve just blistered the hair and unfortunately, hair doesn’t heal.”

Unless you chop it off that hair is forever dead and damaged. Over-dry it rather than style it while damp.”

The post has since garnered an impressive 97,000 views and received many comments from social media users.

“I saw another hairdresser do this trend and you literally both said the same thing,” wrote one.

A second admitted: “Oh wow I go to bed with hair wet every time I wash it…mould spores.”

A third added: “Shouldn’t over dry the hair this can cause breakage but also using COLD water when rinsing the conditioner closes the cuticles and locks it in.”
