5 Hair Sins We'd NEVER Commit (and You Shouldn't Either!) - Oscar Oscar Salons

Want salon-worthy hair every day? Then listen up! At Oscar Oscar Salons Carindale, we see it all – the good, the bad, and the downright damaging. We're sharing five common hair mistakes we'd never make, and how you can avoid them too. Trust us, these hot tips will seriously up your hair game at home!

1. Sizzling Your Strands: Hot Tools on Damp Hair

  • The Crime: Using hot tools (straighteners, curling irons, etc.) on hair that's still damp.

  • The Sentence: Significant damage! The moisture in your hair turns to steam when heated, leading to breakage, weakened hair structure, and frizz galore.

  • The Verdict (from Chris): "Always, always, always make sure your hair is completely dry before using hot tools. It's the difference between healthy, bouncy hair and a frizzy, damaged mess."

2. Skipping the Shield: Forgetting Heat Protectant

  • The Crime: Styling with hot tools without applying heat protectant.

  • The Sentence: Increased damage, dryness, split ends, and colour fade. Your hair is literally being cooked!

  • The Verdict (from Lucinda): "Heat protectant is non-negotiable! It's like sunscreen for your hair, the WILDE UV + Thermal Protectant is our go-to. It creates a barrier between your strands and the heat, minimizing damage and keeping your hair looking and feeling healthy."

3. Wet Hair, Don't Care (Tying It Up):

  • The Crime: Tying up your hair when it's wet.

  • The Sentence: Breakage, damage, and tangles. Wet hair is incredibly fragile and prone to snapping.

  • The Verdict (from Bre): "Think of wet hair like a delicate flower. Rough handling will cause it to break. Let your hair air dry as much as possible before tying it up, and use a gentle hair tie if you must."

4. Sleeping with Wet Hair:

  • The Crime: Going to bed with wet hair.

  • The Sentence: Breakage, frizz, and a seriously bad hair day. The friction from your pillowcase combined with damp hair is a recipe for disaster.

  • The Verdict (from Victoria): "Sleeping with wet hair is a major no-no. It can lead to tangles, frizz, and even fungal growth on your scalp. Give your hair time to dry before hitting the hay. A silk pillowcase can also help reduce friction."

5. The One-and-Done Shampoo:

  • The Crime: Shampooing only once.

  • The Sentence: Ineffective cleansing, product build-up, and greasy roots.

  • The Verdict (from Holly): For most people, shampooing twice is the magic number, especially when using high-quality products like WILDE. The first shampoo loosens dirt, oil, and product build-up, while the second cleanses the scalp and hair thoroughly.  If you have oily hair or use a lot of styling products, double cleansing with WILDE is key to a truly clean and refreshed feeling.
