There have been hair myths plaguing everybody all over the world since the days of Cleopatra or even earlier than her days. Hair should be shampooed daily: False. Washing hair too much can strip it of natural oils. Start with every other day and try to make it three to four days. The exception: those with oily scalps or dandruff. Heat appliances damage healthy hair: True. Hair is most susceptible to heat damage when it’s wet. Wait for hair to be predominantly dry before using a blow dryer and only use flat or curling irons on completely dry hair.

Frequent trims will make hair grow faster: False. Frequent cuts won’t speed hair growth. Diet and health have much more influence. Rinsing hair in cold water prevents frizz: False. Cold water will make your hair shinier, but frizz occurs because of its condition and the elements.

Stress will make your hair fall out: Partially true. You may lose a few more strands than normal, but it’s more likely that your hair loss is due to how you treat your body while under stress, rather than stress being the cause.

Now that you’re no longer in the dark about these myths, you have better chances of taking extra care of your tresses.
