As fellow card-carrying members of the bad hair day club, we know the feeling. Which is why we tracked down a ton of leading experts and stylists to find out why our hair disappoints on a regular basis.
The consensus? We're still following these so-called "hair rules" that are actually just really bad advice. Turns out some of the hair tips we think are no-brainers -- like conditioning after shampooing, blow drying from back to front, and combing hair from the ends up -- are actually wrong. Who knew?
Check out this list of hair advice you should completely ignore. And in case you're wondering just who is turning your hair world upside down, rest assured we talked to the best in the biz. People like celebrity hair and scalp expert Philip B., Pantene Principal Scientist Jeni Thomas, and celebrity hairstylist David Babaii (he does Kate Hudson's gorgeous hair).
Thankfully, our experts didn't just crush our hair reality. They also gave us plenty of hair advice to rebuild our world -- a new world full of amazing hair every day. So go ahead -- be a rebel and break these rules for your best hair ever.

My hair has had a lot of static lately, so I guess I need to switch shampoos.

yes, a good haircut can last 3 months, but if you have really long hair, the ends still start looking and feeling a bit dry even if you moisturize diligently. I find it best to trim more often- hair gets much healthier really soon then.

While I still think is it better to just not color my hair at all, at least when I get bored with it and decide to switch it up I won't feel so guilty. Thanks to Wen, I don't have super dry and brittle hair anymore so many of the other items are no longer a problem either!
