Dove just sent the results of a horrifying study into women and hair damage.
According to their results, the average woman’s daily hair-care routine takes 35 minutes, 30 of which are spent on damage causing activities!!! Even if your hair LOOKS good, it may actually be falling apart.
Here’s some of our habits that are sending our hair to hell:
Hair Brushing: 82 percent of women brush their hair daily or more, which can cause up to 23 percent more damage to hair
Ponytail Holders: Nearly half of women hold their hair in ponytail holders once a week or more, which can cause up to 20 percent more damage to hair
Heat Styling: 60 percent of women heat style (includes blow dryers, curling irons and flat irons) their hair once a week or more, which can cause up to 33 percent more damage
Quite obviously, it’s because bad things happen to our hair that we have bad hair days! Whether this is split ends, breakfast, frizz or even “blah”, it still royally is a pain.
