Hair care is a topic that generates interest and debate, full of myths and beliefs that can often confuse even the most passionate about beauty. At Cruz BarberShop 2020, we understand that every client is unique and that correct information is essential to maintaining healthy and radiant hair. Today, we are going to demystify some of the most common beliefs about hair care to help you make informed decisions.
Myth 1: Cutting your hair frequently makes it grow faster
Reality: This is one of the most common myths. Although getting regular haircuts does not speed up hair growth, it does help maintain healthy ends and prevent split ends. A regular trim can give the appearance of healthier, fuller hair, but hair growth is determined by genetic factors and the overall health of your scalp.
Myth 2: Washing your hair every day is necessary
Reality: How often you should wash your hair depends on your hair type and lifestyle. For some people, washing your hair every day can strip away the natural oils that protect your hair, which can lead to dryness and damage. Those with oily hair, on the other hand, may need to wash it more often. The ideal is to find a balance that works for you.
Myth 3: Hair products are all the same
Reality: Every product is formulated for different hair types and needs. Shampoos, conditioners, and treatments vary in ingredients and benefits. It’s important to choose the right products based on your hair type (straight, curly, dry, oily) and your goals (hydration, volume, straightening). At Cruz BarberShop, we’re here to advise you on the best products for you.
Myth 4: Hair gets oilier if you cut it
Reality: The thickness and texture of hair doesn’t change with a cut. However, hair can appear oilier if it is cut in a way that highlights its natural texture. Oil production is controlled by the sebaceous glands in the scalp and is not related to hair length.
Myth 5: Using heat damages hair irreversibly
Reality: While it is true that excessive use of heat tools can damage hair, the damage is not irreversible if proper precautions are taken. Using a heat protectant before using blow-dryers, flat irons or curling irons, and limiting the temperature of these tools can help minimize damage. Additionally, incorporating moisturizing and repairing treatments into your routine can restore your hair’s health.
Myth 6: Natural treatments are always better than commercial products
Reality: While there are many natural treatments that can be beneficial for hair, not all of them are suitable for all hair types. Additionally, commercial products often contain ingredients specifically formulated to address hair problems more effectively. The key is to find a balance between natural treatments and commercial products.
