妹紙們要注意:9大常見的護髮誤區大綱
The last time I sat in my stylist’s chair, she told me all about the most common hair care mistakes, making me feel a little guilty about the ones I know I commit from time to time. Now that I know them, of course, I’m trying to avoid them, but if you’re still in the dark, or just want to make sure you’re in the clear with your own stylist, keep reading! Here are the 9 most common hair care mistakes.
上次我去做頭髮時，髮型師跟我講了最常見的護髮誤區，這讓我對自己時不時犯過的錯誤感到不安。現在既然知道這些誤區，那我肯定會盡量避免啦。但如果你對此還一無所知，或你想確認自己的髮型師沒讓你犯這些錯誤，那就繼續往下讀，瞭解下護髮最常見的9個誤區吧！1. Too much heat
1. 過分受熱The hair dryer, the flat iron, the curling iron: all of these can cause heat damage to your hair, so why do we use them every day, sometimes more than once a day? All of this heat, especially if you don’t use a product to protect your hair from heat damage, has earned itself a spot at the top of my list of the most common hair care mistakes. If you must use heat to dry, curl, or straighten your hair, use a product that protects your hair from heat damage.
吹風機、直髮棒、捲髮棒——所有這些工具產生的熱量都有損頭髮，那我們幹嘛每天都用、甚至有時一天用幾次呢？如果你還不使用產品加以保護，頭髮受到的熱損傷會更嚴重。我自己就將以上所有熱源列爲常見護髮誤區之最。如果你必須使用電吹風、捲髮棒或直髮棒，請使用產品保護頭髮免受熱損傷吧。
2. Washing too often
2. 頻繁洗髮Unless you have very oily hair, you don’t need to wash your hair every day. Over-washing can dry your hair, making it brittle, so only wash when you have to. I wash every other day, but if you have long hair, you might even be able to go another day between washings. Need a little boost between washings? Try a dry shampoo.
除非你是油性發質，否則根本沒必要天天洗。洗得太頻繁會使頭髮乾枯易斷，所以還是控制一下吧。我自己每兩天洗一次頭。但如果你有一頭長髮，或許還可以再拖一天洗。不洗頭怎麼護理？試試乾洗發露吧。3. Skipping conditioner
3. 不用護髮素When you do wash your hair, it’s important to use conditioner, every time. Skipping conditioner can make your hair dull, dry, and prone to tangles.
每次洗頭髮一定要用護髮素，這非常重要。頭髮不塗護髮素容易乾燥分叉，而且看上去毫無生氣。4. Brushing too much
4. 頻繁梳頭When my grandmother was young, she was taught to brush her hair 100 strokes before bed each night. Now we know this is way too much to brush! Over-brushing can make your hair staticy, and it can lead to split ends and breakage. Brush only when you have to, and make sure you’re using the right brush for your hair.
在我奶奶年輕的時候，據說每晚睡覺前得梳100下頭髮。現在我們知道那也梳太多了！頭髮梳得太多會起靜電，最後分叉折斷。需要時再梳頭，而且一定要用對梳子哦。5. Brushing when wet
5. 溼着頭髮梳理More about brushing: never, ever use a brush on wet hair! Instead, use a wide-tooth comb, which won’t damage your hair like a brush can. Start at the bottom, and work your way up, while your hair is still wet, and don’t tug at tangles (more about this later)!
還是關於梳頭：千萬、千萬別在頭髮溼着的時候用密齒梳梳頭！相反應該使用闊齒梳，這樣頭髮就不會受到像密齒梳造成的那種傷害。頭髮溼着的時候要先從髮梢慢慢梳起，以免拉扯打結（詳見後續）！6. Skipping trims
6. 不加修剪This is the hair mistake I am most guilty of – skipping trims. Even if you’re trying to grow out your hair, regular trims are important to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy. In fact, if you are trying to grow your hair, like me, regular trims can help keep your hair in shape, and add style, so you’re not frustrated with it, and tempted to cut it again. Visit your stylist for a trim at least every 8 weeks.
這是我最感愧疚的護髮誤區——不加修剪。即便你想留長髮，定期修剪也很重要，這能使頭髮保持光澤健康。其實，要是你跟我一樣想留長髮，定期修剪不僅能使頭髮保持有型、跟進潮流，這樣你就不會因爲頭髮心煩，總想着要不要乾脆再去剪短一些。每8周就該去髮型師那兒修剪一次頭髮了。7. Not going seasonal
7. 不注意季節變換The change of seasons may be pretty, but it can wreak havoc on your tresses, so be sure to use products that protect your hair all year round. For instance, in summer, you might need a shampoo to get rid of chlorine from swimming in the pool, or a product with SPF to protect your hair from the sun. In winter, you’ll want a rich conditioner to prevent fly-aways and static. You’ll also want to use a de-frizz product on humid days.
四季變換或許很迷人，但卻有損秀髮，所以一定要用產品全年呵護。比如，夏季你可能要用能去除游泳池漂白成分的洗髮水，或使用防曬產品保護秀髮免受日曬。冬季你則需要滋潤的護髮素防止秀髮靜電毛躁，而溼潤的氣候下又得使用防捲曲產品了。8. Being too tough with tangles
8. 頭髮生澀打結Remember when I mentioned how to handle wet hair? I said it’s important not to tug at tangles. That goes for dry hair, too, not just wet hair! If you have a bad tangle, don’t just pull at it, since this can cause breakage (and a headache!). Use a de-tangling spray, then gently work the tangle out. That’s better!
還記得上面講的如何打理溼發嗎？我講到千萬不要使頭髮打結。不僅是溼發，幹了的頭髮也不能打結！如果你頭髮打結厲害，別去硬扯，否則不僅會扯斷頭髮，還可能引發頭痛。使用對付頭髮打結的噴霧，噴幾下然後再慢慢梳理開來，這樣會好很多！9. Living la vita loca
9. 作息不規律I’m not suggesting you become a goody-two-shoes just for the sake of your hair, but smoking, drinking too much, and skimping on sleep can really take a toll on your body, including your hair. If you do over-indulge, and your hair pays the price, splurge on a hot oil treatment or deep conditioner to mitigate the damage.
我並不是要你爲了一頭秀髮去當什麼乖孩子，但過度吸菸喝酒或經常熬夜確實傷身，當然對頭髮也有害。如果你確實嗜好過度，頭髮肯定會受影響，最好選用熱油護理或深層護髮素加以修復吧。I freely admit I do make some of these hair care mistakes on occasion, as my stylist can confirm, but I’m trying to take better care of my hair! Which of these hair care mistakes do you make? Or is there another hair-related sin you commit? Do tell! I promise I’ll keep it secret!
坦白地說，我有時也會犯這些護髮錯誤，我的髮型師就可以證明。但是我也在努力更好地呵護秀髮哦！以上這些護髮雷區你可有踩過？是不是還犯過其他護髮錯誤呢？說說看吧，我保證會保密滴！
