There are a lot of rumours when it comes to caring for your hair, and some of these myths are very old.



One of the most common myths that exist is that dry hair is caused by washing the hair too often. This is not true at all and you are more than likely to cause damage your hair if you leave the time between washes to be a long duration, for instance several days. There are some things that can cause the hair to be damaged such as excess use of styling products and using hair dye also.

Another myth is that if the hair is very frizzy then you should only shampoo the hair only twice a month. This is also not true because if you do this then any oils will just accumulate on the hair and scalp making the hair look very untidy and messy. You need to make sure that you are washing the hair regularly in order to keep it clean and to look healthy.

There is another myth that involves the use of conditioners and this is that if a rinse out conditioner is used it will have very little benefit. Again this is not true at all, as a good conditioner will leave the hair feeling moisturised giving it a soft and shiny healthy appearance.

If you are noticing that you hair is getting thinner then should you avoid brushing your hair? There is a rumour that says you should avoid brushing your hair if it is thinning, but you need to brush your hair to remove any knots, but you do need to make sure that you have a good hair brush and that you are not brushing your hair constantly.

What about if you have gray hair? Does it mean that you will never get rid of it and the only way to cover it is with a permanent hair dye? Well you ideally want to avoid the use of any hair dyes as they contain a lot of chemicals. But you can cover the amount of gray with a semi-permanent blend that is not as harsh as most of the products that are available.

You need to also be wary of the advertising that some companies use especially when they say that there products are free of chemicals and that they use only natural ingredients. You need to be aware of the ingredients that are often used such as SLS which is no more than a foaming agent and not an indicator of how well the shampoo will clean your hair.

If you are suffering from thinning hair it is not due to the fact that you are stressed. Suffering from stress is not a reason that you have thinning hair, there are other factors that are involved such as lack of certain nutritional foods in your diet.

Speaking of thinning hair do not believe that if you stand on your head that matter will improve because they will not. It may improve your balancing skills, but other than that it will not help you at all.
