True or False: Is 100 brushings a day good for beautiful hair?

No, that's not the case anymore. This tip for beautiful hair comes from a time when we didn't have the habit of washing our hair as often as we do today. Previously, only combs helped to clean the hair from dirt and dust. In addition, combing helped to distribute scalp oil throughout the length of the hair, adding shine and softness to it.

But today we wash our hair almost every day, so the main thing when caring for them is not to overdo it. Poor-quality brushes and combs, such as plastic ones, can also damage the hair structure and stimulate excess oil production in the scalp. Long hair with too frequent combing may cause split ends.

So, use a good brush for combing two or three times a day. This stimulates the blood circulation in the scalp and thus keeps the hair healthy.

True or False: Oily hair shouldn't be washed every day?

Shampoos that are too harsh can irritate the scalp and further stimulate sebum secretion, leaving the hair greasy. When using a light shampoo for oily hair, there is no objection to daily shampooing.

True or False: Do bald men have a particularly high potency?

Although excess of the male sex hormone testosterone and hereditary hair loss are linked, people suffering from hair loss do not necessarily have very high levels of testosterone in their blood. The hormone is only active in relation to its intense action on the hair roots and can thus be harmful.

True or False: Is Gray Hair Wrong?

The visual impression that gray strands appear in the hair is caused by the simultaneous presence of a mixture of pigmented and uncolored hair. However, it is the gray hair that actually does not exist. This hair is white or colorless. In the roots of the hair there are cells responsible for coloring the hair. As we age, the production of melanin pigment slows down. Appear between still pigmented hairs lighter, whitish, without pigment. Often this change starts at the temples and finally reaches the back of the head.

Genes undoubtedly play a big role and influence, for example, the process of pigment production and the point at which this process slows down. Regardless of genes, the appearance of gray hair can be accelerated by increased oxidative processes in the body, as well as as a result of nutritional deficiencies. UV rays, when exposed to direct sunlight, if they damage the hair, also accelerate the aging process. In short, no one is immune to gray hair.

True or False: Is hair stronger after shaving?

Many women find that after shaving their legs, their hair grows back thicker, bristly and darker. However, this is a misleading sensation, because the hair in this case is cut off in the middle of its thickened part, and the hair usually becomes thinner towards the tip. Fresh, newly grown hairs, on the other hand, do not yet have their full volume and therefore appear brighter.

But why is growing hair darker? Young hair does not have its true melanin content - the sun and detergents lighten it up over time. As soon as the young hair becomes larger, it brightens again, like the old hair.

True or False: Can wearing hats and caps cause baldness?

Don't worry, hats, caps, scarves, baseball caps, and other headwear don't hinder hair growth. They do not affect the blood flow, which provides the hair roots with nutrients and oxygen. They also do not affect the amount of light or air entering the upper part of the hair.

True or False: Do eyebrows grow thicker after plucking?

No, on the contrary, in the case of frequent plucking, it may even happen that the root of the hair is removed, and then the hair does not grow at this place anymore. This is why you should always only remove hairs from the bottom of your brow bone, and your brows should not be too narrow.

True or False: Will wearing a ponytail every day damage your hair?

If your hair is tightly tied every day in a tight ponytail for a long period of time, it can really get damaged hair shafts and in places even start to fall out from excessive stress. But hairstyles often change over time.

True or False: Does Frequent Haircuts Strengthen Hair and Make It Grow Faster?

How strong a person's hair depends on his genetic characteristics, and the number of haircuts does not affect this fact. However, it is true that hair after cutting often looks more voluminous because the thin, slashed hairs have been cut off. Hair length also does not affect how and why hair falls out a lot, and therefore it makes no sense to cut your hair short with weakened hair.

Those who razor their body hair often feel that the new hairs that grow back are stronger than those that were shaved off. This impression is misleading because older hair gets thinner towards the tip.

Hair growth is not accelerated by cutting: hair grows in any case at half an inch per month or 0.35 mm per day - regardless of whether it is shaved or trimmed, and it sprouts unhindered.

Beard hair grows faster, namely up to 0.5 mm per day. Underarm hair, however, grows an average of 0.3 mm per day. Eyebrows grow back 0.16mm per day - significantly slower than all natural body hair.

True or False: Does Hair Treatment Get Rid of Split Ends?

Specialized hair care products promise to help with split ends, but they can't fix existing hair damage. The outer covering of the hair consists of seven layers of scales, which are similar to the stacked rows of tiles that cover the roof. You can spray your hair with a special split-end treatment that acts like a glue and smooths out the segmented ends. However, you will only get an optical effect. Only a haircut will really eliminate the cut ends of the hair.

True or False: Does Too Much Grooming Damage Your Hair?

Frequent hair washing and coloring only harms the hair in very rare cases when it suffers from structural damage. In this case, you should consult a trichologist.
