Hands off! We're all guilty of twisting, twirling, and patting down our hair -- you might not even realize you're doing it. While it seems like this will help keep your blowout smooth, too much touching will shorten its life. "The more you touch your hair, the greasier it's going to get," says Ratliff. Not only are you spreading the oils from your scalp through the rest of your hair, you're also transferring dirt and moisture from your hands. This is especially true when it comes to sweat -- you can dab it with your hands or a towel, but you definitely don't want to pull it through your hair.

I used to think I couldn't function if I didn't shampoo daily. I was ruining my hair! These are great tips.

I am not a fan of dry shampoo. It makes my scalp itchy.

The pins won't hold my hair - never. Perhaps a big butterfly clip would be a more durable option.
