- Shampooing every day is bad for your hair
Not all hair types can handle shampooing every day but it isn’t bad for everyone. Shampooing is meant to cleanse the scalp. It prevent yeast from causing inflammation, dandruff, and hair loss. This buildup needs to be removed.
- Shampoos will make my hair grow
No such thing as a shampoo that will make your hair grow. Make sure that you get rid of the oily buildup with shampoo but there are no ingredients that can grow your hair. Medicated shampoos don’t grow hair or affect the hair cycle, they help reduce inflammation. Shampoos with protein marketed for thin hair can make hair appear thicker but it is not getting thicker.
- Dry hair needs moisture
Moisture (water) makes hair frizzy and brittle and prone to breakage. Humidity can cause breakage because of all the moisture (water) content in the air. You want instead products that help coat the hair and keep it smooth and prevent it from absorbing so much moisture. You need conditioning products for hair. Wet hair is very delicate. Coconut oil can help reduce hygral fatigue when you apply before your shower.
- You need to trim the hair every 6 weeks for it to grow and avoid split ends
It’s not right for everyone. Trimming ends does not affect how much hair comes out of your follicle. If you have split ends, you will need trims to avoid breakage. Trims don’t prevent split ends, trims gets rid of them. Use deep conditioning products and avoid too much heat to prevent split ends.
- Your hair gets used to your shampoo and conditioner
Products have ingredients that make them unique for a specific outcome. Your hair does not get used to it. Your hair might need a change if the product isn’t giving you results because of the change in environment, etc. But it is not because your hair gets used to it.
