There’s a lot of conflicting hair advice on social media these days, so let’s break down and correct some popular haircare myths!
Myth #1: Frequent Haircuts Make Your Hair Grow Faster
Trimming your hair maintains healthy ends but doesn’t affect your scalp’s growth rate. Hair grows from the roots, not the tips! That said, regular trims mean less damage at the ends, so you won’t have to cut as much next time.
Myth #2: Wash Your Hair Daily for a Clean Scalp
Not necessarily! Excessive washing can strip your hair of natural oils, leaving it dry. For most, washing 2-3 times a week is ideal, especially if you’re using salon-quality products. Drugstore brands with silicones can leave your hair feeling dirty sooner.
Myth #3: You Need to Switch Products Often Because Your Hair Gets Used to Them
Nope! If your favorite product isn’t working like it used to, it’s probably because of build-up. Use a clarifying treatment like Maxi Wash by Kevin Murphy to clear things up – it’s a must-have in every shower!
Myth #4: Air-Drying is Always Better Than Blow-Drying
Air-drying sounds gentle, but keeping hair wet for too long can cause damage or even mildew. Blow-drying with a heat protectant is often a better, healthier option.
Myth #5: Oily Hair Doesn’t Need Conditioner
Even if your scalp is oily, your ends still need moisture. Apply conditioner only to the ends to maintain balance. Using the right products can help control oiliness too.
Myth #6: Brushing Your Hair 100 Times a Day Makes It Healthier
Over-brushing can lead to breakage. Instead, brush gently and only as needed to detangle.
