5 Hair Care Facts and Myths You Should Know.

 As I'm educating myself on haircare I'm finding that I have been believing some of these myths and I wanted to share them with you.

Myth #1

Hair should be cut every three weeks.

Fact #1

Your hair needs to be cut on a regular basis to maintain health ends, style, and shape. However, the timing of cuts is based on individual growth rates and personal comfort level.  There's no set time between cuts. And since hair grows at different rates seasonally, cutting times will differ according to the time of year.

Good to know.

Myth #2

Hair bands, clips, barrettes, and other ornaments will break hair.


Fact #2

Using rubber bands to pull hair back can tear or rip hair. However, covered or fabric bands and most plastic clips and barrettes are harmless to hair when used properly.  It's the pulling of the hair that is most damaging, not the use of products like these.

I was happy to see this because I'm in a ponytail all the time.

Myth #3

Natural hair care products are better than "manufactured" products.

Fact #3

Organic products don't automatically mean better products. Organic products contain chemicals. Using something labeled organic or natural doesn't mean allergic reactions or other problems are eliminated.

Myth #4

Stress causes permanent hair loss.

Fact #4

Although it's true that stress can be a factor in the temporary thinning of hair, it has no lasting effect on the condition of the hair. Once stress is treated, thinning no longer occurs as a system of that condition.

Stay calm and grow hair.

Myth #5

Pull out one gray hair and two will grow.

Fact #5

The action of pulling out a hair can rupture the follicle and the replacement hair, which will eventually grow, takes longer to regenerate. During this time, another mostly gray hair is beginning to grow next to it.  When the hair that you initially pulled out regrows, you will have two gray hairs.

I was always told this myth. I'm still scared to pull my "one" gray hair out.

There you have it. I hope you enjoyed these facts as much as I did.  Our hair is the ultimate beauty accessory and one of our most impressive physical traits. It will continue to shape culture, as we strive to emulate the latest pop icons and celebrity style. Maintaining healthy hair is the most important aspect to achieving beautiful hair that works for you.

That is the reason I do these blogs. I want to help you have a fabulous life and hair.
