Hey everyone! Once again I've just been so busy and haven't had the chance to catch up on my blogs! So here's a new one today. As a hairstylist, you wouldn't believe the things I hear come out of my clients mouth when it comes to their hair. And all I can think about is where are they hearing these ridiculous things from?!
1.Cutting Hair Makes It Grow Faster and/or Thicker
Since when does your hair grow from the bottom up?. This is indeed a myth. Cutting your hair will NOT make it grow faster.
However, I preach that the only way for your hair to grow healthy is to get a trim. I'm not saying you need to get one every 4-6 weeks, but keeping up on trims will make your hair look longer and healthier as you rid of those ends.
Keep in mind damaged ends tend to grow slower than healthy hair.
2.Split ends can be cured with just the use of product.
MYTH. While there are many great products that merge your ends together, the only successful treatment to split ends is to get them cut off. Those products will keep your ends together until your next shampoo...sooo what good is that?
3.Washing Hair Every Day Dries It Out
False. The right shampoo for your hair type and texture will actually add moisture, body and beauty to your hair. The key is to finding the correct shampoo designed for your hair.
4.Hair Should Be Washed Every Day
False. There is no correct schedule for washing hair. Every person should shampoo according to the specific needs of their hair type and texture. While some people do benefit from a daily shampoo, others benefit from a variety of shampooing schedules
5.Comb your hair from top to bottom.
Wrong. Your hair is so fragile when its wet. Start at the bottom with a wide-toothed comb or brush and work through those ends.
6.Sleeping with your hair down makes it grow faster
There's an old myth that says if you sleep with your hair down, it lets your scalp breathe, making it easier for your hair to grow. Well, that's just silly! In fact, sleeping with your hair down can cause tangles, and the oils from your hair can give you acne if your skin is sensitive, especially if you use hair products.
7.Your hair stops growing at a certain point
We're talking about your hair...not your height....The hair will grow as long as you want it to when you care for it properly, eat well, prevent and treat split ends, and handle it gently.
8.Cold water is better for your hair
Cold water does not influence your hair health. However, extreme heat can damage your hair. In fact, cold water rinses may not efficiently rinse products out of your hair as well as warm water, and they don't make your hair any shinier. Though cold water can appear to make your hair shinier, lukewarm water is best to stimulate the follicles on your head, which can make your hair grow faster than cold water will.
9.Sunlight is the best way to lighten your hair.
False. The sun is just as damaging to the hair as it is to your skin!
10. You should brush your hair 100times before bed.
You know when you used to watch Disney movies and the mom's would brush their little girls' hair before bed, and count to 100? Well...this isn't Disney and that for sure is a myth.Brushing your hair is designed to remove tangles andsuch. An dif you brush it excessively if can pull the hair out at the root and even weaken the hair strand.
So I hope I have helped you all the Fact and Fiction! It's your hair, show it some love!!!
