Myth 1: Your hair grows faster after a haircut
Hair is dead otherwise it would hurt when you cut it, the living part of hair is the part that is in the hair follicle in the scalp. A haircut does not make hair grow faster. However, a haircut does ensure a healthy and vibrant hairstyle. To promote hair growth, you can benefit from Hairfinity Healthy Hair Vitamins.
Myth 2: Frizzy hair is stronger than other hair types
The internal hair structure of frizzy hair actually makes it more likely to break than other hair types. This is especially true for chemically treated frizzy hair. For frizzy hair, it is important to use proteins and moisture treatments that rebuild the hair and thus strengthen it.
Myth 3: Combing your hair makes it grow faster
Excessive combing actually causes hair to break more quickly. If you still comb your hair daily, use an extra coarse comb to preserve the curls and not damage the hair.
Myth 4: An oily scalp adds moisture
An oily scalp causes just the opposite. Grease and oil such as petrolatum, lanolin, and mineral actually reduce the absorption of moisture by the hair. These ingredients should instead be used to give the hair shine rather than add moisture.
Myth 5: Pregnancy vitamins make for longer hair
It is quite possible that hair grows faster during pregnancy. This is due to a combination of vitamins and hormones. These also cause hair to grow faster than normal. However, once the baby is born, the hair will stop growing and may even fall out. This, due to the big difference in vitamins and hormones produced during pregnancy. So a combination of pregnancy vitamins and hormones will temporarily make hair longer.
Myth 6: Straightening/uncurling makes hair grow faster
Curly hair has a natural curly pattern and when you style it, it looks a lot longer. But actually, it's not like that at all. This is because you style the hair to its maximum, thereby reducing its elasticity. This is also by cause that curly hair may no longer curl after a lot of styling. If you do this too often, the hair may also be more likely to break and look dull.
Myth 7: Frizzy hair grows slowly
Hair grows about 1.5cm per month and all hair types grow at about the same rate. But because frizzy hair is curly hair, it does not seem to grow as fast. Chemically treated hair can also grow a lot slower because the hair is more fragile.
Myth 8: Frizzy hair doesn't grow long
As long as you maintain your hair properly, it will grow long. Go to the hairdresser regularly, keep the hair moisturised with moisture products and comb it with an extra coarse comb.
Myth 9: Heat makes hair grow faster
Using heat tools such as straighteners and curling irons actually cause you to damage the hair. When you style your hair, you temporarily alter the structure of the hair, making it weaker. If you still want to style your hair, it is important to use heat protection such as BioSilk Silk Therapy.
Myth 10: Going to the hairdresser every week ensures longer hair
When you go to a good hairdresser and have your hair regularly treated with the right products, it at least ensures that the hair is in optimal condition. This condition is necessary for hair to grow. However, if you go to the hairdresser every week and the hairdresser uses the wrong products, it is even possible that the hair will break earlier. Finding a good hairdresser and the right products is like finding the perfect bra or doctor.
