But, according to one hair guru, it’s easier to ruin your hair than you might assume.
Taking it to social media, Kate Johnston, from Houston, Texas, SAID there are three things things beauty lovers do that instead of helping your hair will actually kill it.
In a clip, which has since taken the internet by storm, racking up almost 665,000 views, the expert urged to stop people doing these right now.
According to the whizz, whose videos have amassed her close to 11,000 fans on TikTok, the first thing beauty lovers should do is avoid using oil-based products before applying heat.

Using the cult favourite Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil as an example, the pro explained that although the expensive £26.00 product does have a heat protectant in it, ”the oil part of it mixed with heat is not great”.
”So the product is literally working against itself.
”Literally fries your hair in oil like fried food,” she said.
Those with oily scalp or wishing to give your hair a break from washing it every morning know what a godsend dry shampoo is.

But whilst the product might give you an extra few minutes of much-needed sleep in the morning, Kate warned against overusing it.
As a professional hairstylist, she claimed that not only will this clog the hair follicle but also lead to severe hair loss over time.

”I’ve seen it in several of my clients!”
But just as careful, it turns out, you also have to be with washing your hair.
In the video, Kate said that shampooing the very ends of your locks will dry out the hair ”so bad”.
For those who struggle with greasy ends, the expert recommended: ”Just scrub your scalp and leave the ends hanging, when you rinse the shampoo it rinses through your ends and that’s enough to get it clean!”
The viral clip left many divided, with some believing Kate’s tips were inaccurate.
”Girl did you just make these up on the spot,” a critic was wondering.
Someone else agreed, adding: ”Using dry shampoo absolutely will NOT cause “severe hair loss”.”
However, there were also plenty of those TikTok users who took her side, with a fellow professional saying: ”I’ve been doing hair for 17 years and these are all absolutely true.”

Someone else joined the conversation and commented: ”It’s funny you say that because I recently started using the Olaplex oil…as a heat protectant and have noticed my hair more fried than ever before.”
”For some reason I’ve always felt off about Olaplex, never tried never will,” a person claimed.
According to the pro, using shampoo on the ends of your hair is also a big no-no you should doing right nowTikTok/@hairbykate_houston
