Mistakes committed while Styling and Perming Hair

Hair is an important part of our body structure because it adds colour to our personality. That’s why men and women are very careful when it comes to cutting and styling their hair.

However, a number of things can go wrong. Some mistakes are committed without you even knowing. Fortunately, you can avoid making mistakes by doing a little research.

The most common blunders committed are enlisted below:

1. Cutting one’s own hair


This is a common mistake made by people because they are always in hurry. They don’t have enough time to make an appointment with a good hair stylist so they attempt to cut their own hair. Once they start cutting, they can’t stop and as a result, they create a huge mess. Asymmetrical style may lead to graver problems.

2. Choice of wrong style

It is very important to change yourself with time. This is true even for hair styles. Just because some type of hair style suited you when you were a teen or young adult doesn’t mean that it will suit you even when you grow older.

You must be aware of your age and facial features when choosing a style. Be honest and do not follow any fashion icon blindly. Remember that there are differences between your personality and any other person’s personality. Your hair style must be compatible with your personality.

3. Selecting the wrong hair products

At times, it happen that you don’t know what your hair type is and consequently you buy hair products that do not suit your hair. In order to know your hair type correctly, visit any reputable hair stylist who will help you in selecting proper hair products after diagnosing your hair type. There are several excellent products that you probably are not even aware of.

4. Selecting the wrong color for your hair

There are many hair colors and all of them are really beautiful, but the fact is that all of them may not look good on you. So, whenever you are going to color you hair or plan to streak it, do not forget to consider those shades that match your skin tone.

Bring a sample of that color to your hair stylist and talk about hues and tones of the shade, and whether it will look good on you or not. It is better not to color your whole length of hair over and over as that can make the color look uneven and the ends can become over porous.

You should apply the color only to the newly grown roots, and extend the color throughout the rest of the locks, just taking a few minutes and then shampoo your hair.

Another important thing to be remembered is that perming and coloring should be never done on the same day. Always leave a gap of a few weeks. Stop using too much hair color as you age, as it may cause damage to your skin.

5. Not rinsing hair properly after using shampoo and conditioner

It is extremely essential to wash the hair properly after using shampoo and conditioner. If they are left in your hair, they act as the biggest culprits.

One must remember that hair perming is a chemical process by which the usual shape of the hair follicle is changed and the texture is made different.


The reasons behind hair perming going wrong include using rollers that have the wrong size, hair not being cleaned properly after perming, or using the perming solution for too long or too short a time. So, you must know what you are doing before you get your hair permed. Remember to get it done from a reputed salon.
