Hair Care: Managing Texture Changes and Common Washing Mistakes

Common hair care mistakes, such as using excessively hot water or vigorous scrubbing, can lead to dry, brittle, and straw-like hair. Using lukewarm water and focusing shampoo application on the scalp rather than the entire length of the hair can help maintain moisture and smoothness.

Additionally, the onset of gray hair often involves more than just a change in color. As melanin production decreases, hair texture can change, often becoming stiffer, coarser, and more prone to frizz. Maintaining hydration through conditioners and gentle combing can help manage these structural changes.
