One of the most popular fallacies in hair care is that washing your hair every day keeps it clean. By now, almost every woman knows that daily hair washes can deliver serious damage and makes hair incredibly dry and brittle. A reason why hair experts recommend a maximum of three shampoos every weak to maintain gorgeous healthy hair.
Apart from scrubbing this secret clean off the myth list, here are a few more common prescribed hair care truths demystified.
Periodic trims make hair grow faster
Rate of hair growth has nothing to do with the ends, but depends on how you care for the roots instead. Hair begins to grow from the hair follicle, so keeping your scalp well moisturized, nourished, and conditioned will definitely help boost hair growth. While trimmed ends help prevent and rid of split-ends which leaves overall healthier and plush head of hair, it does not speed up growth.
Change shampoo often to get better results
Hair doesn’t tend to get used to preferred shampoo and conditioner combinations, though frequent use of the same product does play in residual build-up that causes hair to feel lack luster and coarse. Stick to your tried and tested shampoo and conditioner; just make sure you use a gentle clarifying shampoo once every week to rid of any excess product build-up.
100 brush strokes makes hair shiny
While it is good to brush your hair daily and keep it tangle free, excessive brushing, like 100 strokes before bed, can cause damage and hair breakage. Apply leave in conditioner instead, when detangling hair and avoid brushing wet hair.
Greasy hair does well without conditioner
Overproduction of sebum, natural oil produced by the body, is a major factor of greasy hair. Skipping conditioner won’t help your condition, and might cause further damage with dry and brittle, though greasy hair. It is best to use a clarifying shampoo on the roots and a gentle moisturizing shampoo, and stick to conditioning hair midway down to the ends.
All hair grows at a same pace
Contrary to popular belief, not all hair grows at the same rate. In fact, hair grows at different rates across the body. Head hair grows in three distinct and separate phases and each area of the body grows at varying speeds. Regular haircuts and trims is an effective way to maintain consistency in style and length.
