Remember, little Lindsay Lohan, we do this out of love! For the love of hair, our pal Andrea Rothstein is back to round out the Top 10 Hair Mistakes! (continued from last week)

5) Hair color maintenance: "Before coloring your hair, decide how big of a commitment you want to make," Andrea advises. "All require maintenance and commitment!! Highlighting is typically less committal than all-over color and using a semi-permanent color is less committal than permanent or bleaching/lightening. Whether covering your gray or wanting a more sassy color, grown-out roots are never cute!"

4) Wearing the wrong cut: Find the right style for you, your face, and your hair type! "This is a very common mistake," she says. "Bringing pictures to your stylist is great to use as a jumping-off point, but your haircut and style should be designed specifically for you! Chances are you don't have the same type of hair or the same shaped face as that celebrity. Please take the advice of your stylist when they tell you that you don't have Taylor Swift's hair. She's not trying to be hateful, just steer you in the right direction!

3) Over processing: "This typically happens when you over-bleach or chemically straighten your hair," Andrea warns. "There are many elements and chemicals that can "Ëœfry' your hair so be careful and make sure you do what's needed at home....CONDITION! CONDITION! CONDITION!"

2) Wearing the wrong hair color: "There are a few things to consider when coloring your hair but one of the most important things is skintone," she advises. "Pale blonde hair and pale skin will wash you out, etc. "Make sure you are wearing the right color for you!"

1) Self-service: "The #1 hair mistake is performing chemical services on your self!!!" Andrea says emphatically. "Chemically straightening your own hair is definitely not the best idea as this process uses the strongest chemical hairdressers use, so a lot of things can go wrong," Andrea says. "By far the most common mistake is coloring your own hair with a box you pick up at the grocery store or pharmacy. Your hair will NEVER come out like the picture on the box!"

Remember that while we love celebrities, they are PAID to do those at-home hair color commercials, while not one of them actually uses the product. Take Andrea's word and leave it to the professionals!
