These everyday things that hairdressers would never do to their own hair
Professional hairdressers share their top tips on hair care practices they avoid for their own hair.
In a recent interview, three Finnish hairdressers discussed the common hair practices they would personally avoid. One critical advice from Anna Päkkilä from Oulu emphasizes that during cold weather, it's essential to protect hair from freezing temperatures, which can cause significant damage. She suggests hiding hair under a coat rather than letting it exposed, as cold weather can severely dry it out.
Emilia Laitinen from Helsinki points out another common mistake—drying hair vigorously with a terrycloth towel. While this method may seem efficient from childhood habit, she warns that this approach can lead to hair damage and breakage, making it unsuitable for most types of hair. Instead, she advocates for gentler drying methods that maintain hair integrity.
Ida Amanda Hägg from Turku adds to the conversation by highlighting the importance of regular hair trimming and the potential pitfalls of neglecting this practice. Regular trims can prevent split ends and maintain a healthier appearance, which is something many may overlook. Collectively, they offer valuable insights that prioritize hair health, reflecting the professional perspective on caring for one's hair in a practical way.
