True Or False: 7 Myths We’ve All Believed To Be True About Shampoo, Conditioner, Gray Hair & Hair Care

How many times have you sat in a hairstylist's chair and have been told conflicting hair tips?
Do you blast your hair with cold water at the end of your wash to seal the cuticle for shiny hair? Do you religiously book your next appointment with your hairstylist to make sure you're back within 3 months for the next trim to promote hair growth and health? With so many opinions on hair maintenance, who knows what to believe?

Thankfully, our friends at BeautyPress have compiled some hair tips that we have all heard time and time again, and after some research, have come to find these tips may not be as helpful as we thought!

Myth #1- If one gray hair is plucked, two more will grow.

If you pluck away one hair strand, only one will grow back no matter what color the hair is.

Myth #2 - Regular, frequent trims will help hair grow faster.

Hair growth is based off hormones, not hair trims. Hair grows about half an inch a month whether it is cut regularly or not.

Myth #3 - Wash your hair every day.

It is not necessary to wash hair everyday. In fact, washing it every day can cause natural hair oil to build up, resulting in the opposite effect.

Myth #4 - Hair should be shampooed twice during one wash.

Shampooing more than once in the same shower can strip hair from its natural oils, resulting in lackluster, over burdened hair.

Myth #5 - If your hair is naturally oily, skip conditioner.

Oily hair is caused by the excess production of sebum in the scalp. Using conditioner will not contribute to more oil production.

Myth #6 - Sunrays don't damage hair.

The UV rays from the sun can dry out hair causing it to feel weak. Use a hat on the beach to avoid the risk of sun burning your sensitive scalp.

Myth #7 - Switch shampoos regularly to see best results.

Hair will not get used to using the same shampoo over and over again. It is not necessary to keep changing shampoo types and brands in order to maintain healthy, optimal hair.
