Women have various hair maintenanceand other treatments just to ensure that they would look good and better each day. As beliefs say that hair is the woman’s glory and for this to be kept that way, routines must be made aside from the daily shampooing and conditioning application. However, there are also common hair mistakes that some women do and it should serve as a reminder for all not to repeat them.

女人在外表方面都不免有些虛榮。事實上，女性全身上下最重要、也是花錢最多的地方是她們的頭發。女人們對頭發進行各種各樣的保養和護理，只是為了確保頭發每天都看起來美美的，而且越來越美。有人堅信，頭發是女人的榮耀，為了讓這種榮耀得到保持，對頭發的常規護理絕不能僅僅停留在洗發水和護發素的使用上。然而，有些女人們在頭發上常犯的錯誤，大家都應該吸取教訓，不要再犯這些錯誤。

10. 對頭發過分加熱

There are various hair tools that women use these days such as blow dryer, ceramicstraightener, and curling irons. They become more conscious on how their hair would look for today and the next day. It has become their partners each day whether they like curly hair or a more straight hair look.

現在女性用在頭發上的工具五花八門，比如吹風機、陶瓷直發器和卷發棒。女性對于每日發型的變換有了更清醒的認識。不論是喜歡卷發還是更中意直發造型，這些工具都成為了女人們每天的伙伴。

9. 扎馬尾

It does not mean that women should not wear any pony tail at all but wearing it frequently and putting it on the same position will damage the hairline gradually. It’s best to find various ways of putting hair accessories and not just the same pony tail, not doing it every day. It will cause hair breakage.

并不是說女人們完全不能扎馬尾，但是如果扎馬尾過于頻繁，而且每次都扎在同一個位置，將會逐漸對發際線構成損害。最好能用不同的方法來佩戴發飾，而不只是每天都扎同樣的馬尾。這樣會導致頭發脫落。

Yes, the thought of maintaining its shape and shine would not help, especially if an exaggerated amount is being damped into hair.

想象一下，你的頭發已經用香波洗干凈并且涂上了護發素。洗完澡以后又要用上不止一種化學產品，可能是兩種甚至更多，比如造型啫喱、頭發柔順精華等等。是的，這也許并不能幫助你保持頭發的造型和光澤，尤其是在使用過量的時候。

這不代表你要把頭發剪短。頭發的長短由你決定。但是對于那些習慣留長發的人來說還是應該偶爾去把頭發修剪一下。這是去除不健康頭發的最佳辦法，尤其是對于那些出現分叉的頭發。

6. Regular Shampooing of Hair

6. 每天用洗發水洗頭

Shampooing your hair daily decreases the natural oil that it actually produces. It washes away the natural shine the moment that you put on shampoo into your hair. This is the reason why conditioners must be applied after shampooing your hair. The ideal is to use shampoo every other day and not regularly.

每天用洗發水洗頭會使頭發分泌的天然油脂減少。當你把洗發水倒在頭發上時，它會洗掉你頭發的自然光澤。這就是為什么用洗發水洗完頭后必須要用護發素。最好是每隔一天用洗發水洗頭，而不要每天使用。

5. 自己染發

Those who can’t afford to have their hair dyed in the nearby parlor would just do self-dying at home.

However, it’s better that experts handle them because there are necessary directions that must be followed, especially when it comes to mixtures.

那些覺得在附近的發廊染發過于昂貴的人可能會自己在家染發。是的，從節儉的角度來說這是明智的，因為你可以省下去正規美發沙龍里染發的昂貴費用。然而，最好還是讓專業人士來打理，因為有一些必備的操作程序必須要遵守，尤其是在調配混合劑時。

4. Drying Hair after Bath

4. 洗澡后用毛巾擦干頭發

It is automatic that after that you take a bath that you put towel on your hair to absorb excess water. Nonetheless, rubbing the towel on your hair to dry them up would cause hair frizz and damage.

3. Too Much Brushing/Combing

3. 梳頭過多

reakage and damage.

有句老話說，梳頭100遍，光澤就出現，頭發更健康。然而，梳頭過多會將導致頭發脫落和損傷。

Once you make a cut, you’ll never know that you have already created a direction. Most of the women who did try it were never satisfied after and they would run to a nearby salon to save their hair from a big fiasco.

這條錯誤是針對那些在頭發方面并不專業，也無法完全按照剪發的正確流程操作的人。從你自己動剪刀的那一刻起，你就已經錯了，而你自己卻還沒有意識到。大部分自己動手剪發的女人剪完后都對發型極其不滿，而且會到附近的美發沙龍想辦法補救這個重大的錯誤。

1. Following the Latest Hairstyles

1. 追隨最新的發型潮流

It’s okay that you follow some trendy hairstyles but it does not mean if specific hairstyle looks good to others that the same effect would reflect on you. You have to know the shape of your face and the appropriate cut that will improve your look and that would really suit you. If it won’t work for you then try other hairdos. You have to experiment and ask others’ opinions if necessary.

追隨潮流發型并沒有問題，問題在于某些讓別人看上去很美的發型在你身上卻沒有同樣的效果。你必須清楚自己的臉型，要明白哪些合適的發型真正適合你，讓你更好看。如果這款發型不適合你，那么就試試其他的。你要進行一些嘗試，必要的時候可以問問他人的看法。
