Contrary to popular belief, trimming your hair doesn't affect its growth rate. Hair growth happens at the scalp, so regular trims only maintain its health and prevent split ends.
Excessive brushing can actually cause damage by stretching and breaking the hair strands. Instead, opt for gentle brushing to detangle and distribute natural oils.
Plucking a single gray hair won't result in multiple sprouting in its place. However, constant plucking may damage the hair follicle over time.
Washing your hair daily can strip away its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. It's often enough to shampoo every other day or a few times a week, depending on your hair type.
Once hair is split, it can't be fully repaired. Products may temporarily mend the ends, but regular trims are the only way to get rid of split ends permanently.
While hair growth can be influenced by factors like diet and hormones, the seasons don't have a significant impact on its growth rate.
While some coloring processes can weaken the hair, modern techniques and products are designed to minimize damage. Proper maintenance and hydration can help keep colored hair healthy.
Unless hats are excessively tight, they don't cause hair loss. In fact, wearing hats can protect the hair from environmental damage like sun exposure and pollution.
