- Always blow dry when hair is about 75% less wet than it felt in the shower. Air-dry in room temperature or pat dry with a towel till it reaches that point.
- Dandruff can thrive in oily hair as well. Use a dedicated dandruff shampoo when you observe any.
- The frequency of haircuts does not determine growth as believed by most. Regular trim does prevent split ends though.
- A loose ponytail is okay but frequent tying of hair does cause it to break and fall.
- Hair contains no living cells so rinsing with hot or cold water makes no difference!
- A wide-toothed comb is fine but do not brush hair when it is wet!
- Dry shampoo is quite misleading as it doesn’t really clean the hair like actual shampoo does; only with shampoo washing will any dirt actually wash away. Dry shampoo simply gives the feeling of having washed.
- Hair growth is purely genetics-depended. Even powerful hormone drugs cannot help hair grow faster than it is meant to. So anything that promotes faster growth is a hoax!
- Clean hairbrushes once a month in lukewarm water with baking soda. A dirty hair brush with old hair, and hair oils, leads to the breeding of bacteria.
- Plucking one grey hair does not lead to 4 more growing in its place but it definitely contributes to root degeneration and damaged scalp.
- Drying wet hair in the sun actually leads to burning off edges so if you have to dry naturally find a shadier place.
- Sleeping with your hair tied is not really bad for the hair unless it is so tight that you are left with insomnia and pain!
