A hair care expert reveals 3 common mistakes you should avoid when washing your hair.
Abbey Yung from the United States lists washing your hair upside down and putting your hair straight into a wet hair towel as one of the most dangerous habits for your hair.
The 28-year-old says habits can prevent her hair from absorbing nutrients properly, which can lead to damage and breakage.
Abby transformed her damaged hair in just two years by changing her hair care routine and quitting harmful practices.

“Stop making these laundry day mistakes,” Abby said as she uploaded the popular video.
Her number one hair care no-go is the reverse wash.
Backwashing is a recent trend for hair enthusiasts to apply conditioner before shampooing, but Abby said this can be extremely harmful to hair.
Instead, we recommend always finishing with conditioner so your hair is properly coated and protected.
Her second piece of advice is to never use Olaplex or other bond repair products before shampooing.
She said the shampoo first removes residue and grease build-up and that the bond-repairing products really penetrate the hair and “work just right.”
Her final tip is to not roll it up in towel wrap right after washing it.
Instead, we recommend squeezing excess moisture from your hair before wrapping it in a towel to reduce heat damage from blow-drying.
Abby previously shared her wash-day routine and hair treatments that have helped her transform her hair in two years.
She only washes her hair once every seven days and follows a specific routine.
A young woman has a hard water filter in her shower head to block minerals that stop hair from absorbing nutrients.
She uses an oil like coconut oil the night before washing unless she’s using a K18 treatment.
Abby uses a scalp treatment containing salicylic acid to massage it into her head.
She then combs her hair and makes sure it is thoroughly wet before shampooing.
Professionals emulsify the shampoo by rubbing it together before applying it to the head, then divide it into the hair.
Due to its low PH level, she often uses K18 shampoo.
