I'm a hairdresser – a big mistake with shampoo is that you ruin your hair and waste money

A HAIRDRESSER has revealed the big mistake people make when washing their hair – and it could be ruining your locks.

Danielle Palompo from Edinburgh regularly shares her styling tips and favorite hair care products on TikTok (@daniellepalompo).

In a recent video, the 32-year-old mom revealed her “Shampooing 101” hack that will keep your hair both clean and healthy.

She said, 'If you're washing the ends of your hair, you're doing it wrong.

“Shampoo is for cleaning your scalp and hair roots.

“Washing the ends can cause tangles and possible breakage.

“The shampoo running through your ends as you rinse is enough to gently clean and remove the product.”

Danielle's best tip not only improves the quality of your hair, but because you need less shampoo, you also save money!

And that's not all How you wash your hair, that makes a difference, it's also what product you use.

Danielle, who hosts her own parenting podcast Keep it informalsaid there are “hundreds of great shampoo brands” that can help your tresses.

But she admits there are three she swears by and always recommends to clients.

She said: “Colour Wow's color-protecting shampoo and conditioner is amazing.

“It's sulfate and residue free, so its main purpose is to clean your hair, which sounds obvious, but not all shampoos' main purpose is to do that, believe it or not.

“It cleanses your hair, conditions your color, while relieving excess oil, product buildup, dry skin cells, and any flakes on your scalp.”

“If your hair is damaged, I would opt for Reskin's acid bonding range,” she continued.

“It's very concentrated, but if your hair is damaged, it's going to need it and it's amazing.

“If your hair is not damaged, but is very dry or quite coarse, Matrix food for soft is such a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.”
