Have you ever felt like there's something really off with your hair, but you just can't seem to identify what it is? We have, so we consulted with Bumble and bumble senior hairstylist Damian Santiago, who graciously laid out our hairstyling errors. We confess, it stings for a moment, but you will thank us later. Here, Damian's list of our most common hair mistakes.

Baselessly cutting your own hair. Let's say there appears to be one strange and straggly piece that somehow emerges longer, looser or odder than any other piece on your head. You are tempted to trim it -- but don't self-cut! "It'll all straighten out in the shower," Santiago says. And if you don't have time for a shower, just dampen your hair and evenly distribute a bit of styling pomade. Once you start cutting, it's hard to stop and impossible to keep your style even.

Misusing products. Damian calls this "product abuse" and explains that, because it's often so difficult to decipher the language on many products' labels, there is no mystery behind our confusion. With promises like "de-frizz," "smooth out," "keep it sleek" or "make it shine," we consumers are left totally befuddled. The result of using the wrong products can be limp, greasy-looking hair or hair that just won't stay in place. The only way to get around it is to resign yourself to tons of trial-and-error purchases or ask your hairstylist for recommendations. Professionals will be able to tell you which products are right for the results you want and for your specific hair type.
