There are many myths that women and men ad­here to, caus­ing frus­tra­tion and un­nec­es­sary ex­pense when try­ing to main­tain their hair. Fol­low these sim­ple guide­lines to find the right prod­ucts that suit you best if you want to work your way to healthy, hap­py boun­cy hair.

MYTHS

Wash­ing hair fre­quent­ly caus­es hair loss and dry­ness.

Hair can be washed 2 to 3 times a week. A clean and healthy scalp pro­motes growth and healthy hair. The trick is quite sim­ple. There are sham­poos that are de­signed for spe­cif­ic hair tex­tures and hair types. If you are un­sure about your tex­ture or hair type, have a pro­fes­sion­al hair­styl­ist give you a con­sul­ta­tion, so you can get the ap­pro­pri­ate sham­poo that is most suit­able for you.your own time.

More sham­poo means clean­er hair.

Do not waste your sham­poo, a quar­ter size amount of sham­poo is more than enough for short hair, and more will be re­quired for longer hair. To cre­ate a rich lath­er, you should to­tal­ly sat­u­rate your hair with wa­ter, and then sham­poo your hair. You can al­so run a lit­tle wa­ter on your hair af­ter you ap­ply the sham­poo and work in the sham­poo.

Con­di­tion­er helps re­pair split ends.

Con­di­tion­ers don't ac­tu­al­ly re­pair dam­aged hair, but what they do is smooth the cu­ti­cle of the hair, and give the hair an ap­pear­ance that it is in bet­ter con­di­tion. A good con­di­tion­er helps pre­vents dam­age in the first place, so it would be ben­e­fi­cial if you get a con­di­tion­er that is best for your hair. N.B what works for some­one else's hair may not nec­es­sar­i­ly work for yours so know your hair type.

TRUTHS

Shar­ing combs and brush­es can spread par­a­sites and dis­eases.

Lice and oth­er par­a­sites can be trans­port­ed from scalp to scalp by shar­ing combs and brush­es and oth­er hair dress­ing im­ple­ments. Food for thought, if you are re­ceiv­ing treat­ment for any hair or scalp dis­or­der es­pe­cial­ly if it is con­ta­gious, reg­u­lar wash­ing and ster­il­is­ing of your tools at home will help pre­vent the re­oc­cur­rence of your scalp con­di­tion. In oth­er words not clean­ing your tools and treat­ing your scalp or hair is un­do­ing the treat­ment.

Di­et has a lot to do with hair loss.

As far as I know, there isn't any sin­gle food that is par­tic­u­lar­ly good or bad for your hair, but it is cru­cial that you keep your sys­tem healthy be­cause your hair will ben­e­fit from it tremen­dous­ly. Make it a lifestyle habit to eat right.

Stress con­tributes to hair loss.

Op­pres­sive stress can close down the re­pro­duc­tion of hair which can cause alope­cia area­ta (bald­ness in spots) tem­porar­i­ly. The hair re­cu­per­ates with treat­ments rec­om­mend­ed by a der­ma­tol­o­gist.
