Is it true that if you get regular trims your hair will grow faster?

No, however, if you get regular trims to remove split/rough ends, your hair will look and feel healthy. Also, less likely to break, so it can grow longer (before your hair breaks).

Should you always lather, rinse and repeat when you wash your hair?

No, there is no need to do this anymore with today’s shampoo technology. Perhaps, if you have many products in your hair and/or haven’t washed your hair for a while, you may want to use shampoo twice.

Should you always stick with the same shampoo and conditioner?

You should always pair up your shampoo and conditioner, as they are usually designed to work together. You can switch it up, but there is no truth to the hair myths that it’s better to switch your hair products for better results.

 If you pull out a gray hair will more grow in its place?

No, it just seems that way. When you see a gray hair, it means more are not far behind. It is inevitable that they will show up.

 Is cold water the best temperature for washing your hair?

Not necessarily, but you should not wash your hair in extremely hot water either. Warm water will open the cuticles, helping your shampoo and conditioner to penetrate the follicles. A cool rinse helps to close them up quicker and keep all the benefits in.

Do you need to brush your hair 100 times a day to get it really shiny?

No, and in fact, brushing too much can actually cause breakage.

Can healthy hair only be achieved by what we eat?

While a nutritious diet is beneficial for our whole body – hair included- you can get hair that looks and feels healthy by using the right hair care products.

Do split ends keep your hair from growing?

Your hair grows from the scalp, so even if you have split ends at the bottom, the hair will still be growing at the top. However, the split ends can break off, and the hair will be shorter than others. Regular trims can keep split ends at bay and keep hair growing at similar lengths.
