Bad hair days – they happen to all of us. Sometimes, they tend to happen at the worst possible moment like on the day of a job interview or special events. No matter how much we try to fix it, we just can’t get our locks to assume their normal form, dampening our moods and making us reach out to hair ties or a cap for cover.



While most people may say that it’s normal to have bad hair days, others may not say the same because people who have had really bad hair days will find themselves crying over the state of their hair. In this case, only hairdressers can help fix their hair.

• You messed with it while it was wet

Are you the type to comb your hair while it’s still wet or do you wrap it in a towel and let it dry over time? These actions may seem harmless but you’re sabotaging your hair. Your hair is the most fragile when it’s wet, and by doing so, you’re increasing the risk of frizz and breakage while adding static electricity.

• You showered with water that’s way too hot

Who doesn’t love a hot shower? They’re the best at relieving all your fatigue and daily stress. However, that steaming hot water has a way of sapping your hair off the necessary moisture. This makes your hair more susceptible to frizz and breakage. Luckily, there’s a way for you to have your hot shower without frizzing up your hair.

• You forget about weather changes

If there’s one thing that we Singaporeans often overlook is that our hair is susceptible to weather changes. If you think that the product you use during the rainy season will work the same on a hot, sunny day, then you’re mistaken. The higher the humidity, the more you should think about using that hairspray.

• You have a poor diet

You are what you eat. If you have a poor diet, it can reflect on your skin and hair condition that’s greasy, dull, and lifeless. So, you might want to start eating healthy to ensure all the good nutrients go to your skin and hair, keeping it fresh and shiny without needing external help.

•  You let stress get the better of you

When you’re stressed, your body releases the hormone cortisol in large amounts. This results in your hair follicles facing undue pressure, causing your hair to appear dry and brittle, and perhaps making it thinner than before. If you’re under a lot of stress, try to at least chill-out or talk to someone who can help.

That said, there are several ways you could DIY your hair care, especially during this pandemic. But before you start doing that, make sure to consider the following because DIYs could go wrong and damage your scalp and hair.

• Do a patch test before trying anything new on your hair

If you have allergies or sensitive skin, you can request for a patch test from your hairdresser if you think you might be allergic to certain hair products. That way, you can avoid unwanted situations from happening.

• Pay attention to your hair type

Just because a certain hair product works for your friend’s hair, you expect similar results. You need to understand that everyone has a different type of hair. Hence, you will need to pay attention to your hair type if you want healthy hair.

• Avoid going overboard with your scalp massage

Giving your scalp a massage will certainly help to stimulate blood flow which results in strong, healthy hair. However, if you are too aggressive with the massage, it can lead to hair fall.

Should all of these seem like a hassle, you can ask for help from your hairdresser in Singapore to fix your bad hair days instead of dealing with them yourself.
