Hair myths exploded
Shampoo does not weaken the hair and does not cause it to fall out.
The time shampoo is in contact with the scalp is very short. Shampoo is diluted
with water and rinsed out after a few minutes. Shampoo does not cause hair loss.
Cutting the hair does not make it stronger but it can improve it aesthetically.
The hair shaft which has emerged from the scalp is dead and, therefore, hair does
not gain any benefit from cutting. Even so, the whole head of hair appears more
pleasing aesthetically and thicker because the ends of the hair, removed by cutting,
are the parts most damaged and thin.
Frequent washing does not damage your hair.
Washing the hair frequently does not cause damage. Hair can be washed daily. The
reason for hair falling out during washing is that the mechanical process of washing
which results in hairs that were about to fall out, falling out. It is always important
to use a conditioner after shampooing to help protect hair against external aggressions.
It is also important not to put the hairdryer too close to the hair or use a setting
that is too hot.
Mouse, hairspray, gels and waxes do not damage the hair.
These products do not penetrate to the scalp but are placed on the shaft, so do
not have any effect on the follicles and the hair growth. Split ends are a result
of over combing, hot hair drying and colouring. It is important not to treat hair
roughly but to be as delicate as possible in its treatment. It is therefore necessary
to protect the hair by using products which intensely condition the hair and protect
it. The only way to get rid of split ends it to cut them.
Sebum and hair
The covering of sebum that we have on the hair protects the shaft from the surroundings.
The sebum present in the upper part of the follicle does not interfere with the
activity of the roots. When it emerges from the follicle the sebum is deposited
on the skin and spreads with an increasing speed according to the fluidity of the
sebum and the thickness of the hair. Seeing that heat tends to make the sebum more
fluid, those with increased greasy hair must avoid the use of a hair dryer. Also
frequent use of a comb diffuses the sebum and worsens the problem of greasy hair.
Crash helmets for motorbikes or hats do not cause hair loss. Contrary to what most
people think the use of hats and helmets do not cause an increase in hair loss.
Cutting the hair is of no use in case of hair loss or thinning.
It is, in fact, useful only if there are split ends or other external alterations
on the shaft or for a purely aesthetic reason.
Shaving does not make the hair thicker or coarser.
The hair appears coarser only because we remove the ends that are naturally thinner.
In reality, shaving does not change the thickness or density of the hair.
