The truth  – no matter how often you cut your hair, it will not automatically start growing faster. We know it’s not the best news to hear especially if you’re trying to grow your hair a new style. But the speed at which your hair grows is mostly determined by genes. However, there are other factors that can help such as getting plenty of protein, quitting smoking and trying to de-stress as much as possible.

The truth  – washing your hair every day will not only dry out your hair, it will also make it dull and brittle, it also makes your hair more likely to get greasy faster. Try to wash your hair two or three times a week, and rinse it with water only on the days in between.

Fact –  This myth has been around for a long time, and there is a lack of factual evidence to support the idea. In contrast, the scientifically proven way to make your hair shinier is to use a quality conditioner every time you wash your hair.

Fact –  Despite the fact that you should reduce the amount of hot air you use and let your hair dry naturally every now and then, sometimes it’s not an option. Although blow drying damages the surface of your hair, air drying can cause damage to strands. Your best bet is to blow-dry your hair on the lowest setting while using pre-styling products with heat protection. Make sure to move the dryer around your head frequently to avoid concentrating the heat on one spot for too long.

Fact –  While hair gel can dry out your hair and make it look thinner at times, it won’t cause hair loss. Some other styling techniques such as straightening hair can dry out your hair and make it feel brittle, and there is no link between the use of hair products and hair loss.

Truth –  Using a good hair conditioner can do so much more than make your hair look shiny and soft. Using conditioner after shampooing can help reduce damage and is ultimately an investment in the health of your hair.
