Which method did you like the best? Well, try them on and find out which one suits you. There have been a number of myths tangled with your hair that needs to be untangled. In the next few slides, we are going to talk about some of the widely accepted myth that you had been following since you gained senses. Let’s uncover them one by one.
Yes, this is a myth! Cutting hair does not guarantee rapid hair growth. MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, Joshua Zeichner states, “Trimming your hair doesn’t affect growth.” MD, dermatologist and hair specialist at the Cleveland Clinic, Melissa Piliang said, “That happens at the scalp.” But there’s a reason experts suggest trimming your hair every six to eight weeks: “Frayed ends make hair look thinner and cause breakage, so when you cut them off, your hair appears fuller.”
There hardly be a person on the surface of the earth who would not have believed this myth. It is generally believed that pulling one gray hair off the scalp leads to the generation of more gray hair. Dr. Piliang says “This myth probably started because people plucked one gray hair, then noticed more afterwards.” But that does not mean you would continue plucking your gray hair out blindly. He continues “That’s not a big deal if you’re plucking here and there, but it’ll add up if you start going gray all over.”
Are you one of those who brush hair like a hundred times a day thinking it keeps them healthy? If yes, then this one is for you. Stop, tormenting your hair! It is of no use. In fact, it does more harm than any benefit. Dr. Piliang says “Over-brushing can damage your hair’s cuticle.” Brush only when your hair is tangled.
Never ever rush for a towel to dry your hair immediately after having a head bath. According to Dr. Zeichner, “Towel drying is rough on your hair, and can promote breakage.” Sensibly, if you rub your hair just after taking bath, it will only break your already vulnerable hair. You can gently wrap your hair with a towel followed by the combing of it with wide-toothed one to do away with excessive water.
You don’t make ponytail more often because you have heard that ponytail causes hair fall. Here is your good awakening! A loosely tied ponytail is not going to harm your hair. In fact, you can make a loose ponytail every day without having to bother about hair fall. However, one should avoid having a tight ponytail, braid, or bun for that matter. Furthermore, one should not go too hard on their hair while swiping them back into a ponytail.
First the stress and then the stress of hair falling because of the stress you already have. Ufff, there is so many stress! Let’s do away with one of them. The widely accepted myth that stress causes hair fall is not true. However, it does enjoy some role play in the hair fall but it is usually temporary.
You already know that blow drying causes damage to your hair but did you know air dry is equally harmful when it comes to damaging of hair? Whereas blow dry impacts the scalp, air dry effects hair strands.
You believed it, right! It is anything but true. This is true that different shampoos have different ingredients. Like some have proteins whereas another would be containing jojoba oil. Switching shampoo is perfectly fine as far as your personal choice is concerned but if you are swapping it only because you think the certain shampoo does not work after a certain time. Then let me warn you, you’re falling for a big fat myth!
