NewVo Beauty Comments on 10 Hair Care Myths and Suggests the Use of Alternative Products Like Keratin Complex
Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) October 02, 2013 -- NewVo Beauty, an online beauty supply store, comments on an article that shares common hair myths.
According to an article published by Elle on September 18th titled “10 Common Hair Myths Debunked,” many hair care myths are old wives’ tales or have been passed on by hairdressers at salons. While most of these myths are false, some of them are surprisingly true.
The article discusses these 10 myths about hair care:
• You should wash hair everyday: This myth is false. Washing hair everyday can actually strip hair of natural oils that are essential to keeping it moisturized. “If you ever find that your hair is a little dry, trying using argan oil to add some hydration without leaving it feeling greasy,” says Sara Greenstone, a representative for online beauty supply store NewVo Beauty.
• Pluck a grey hair and more grow: This myth is false. One hair follicle can only produce one hair. It also doesn’t matter what color the hair was.
• Stress will turn hair grey: This myth is actually possibly true for some. “Researchers from New York University School of Medicine and Baylor College of Medicine published a study in June which provided evidence that stress hormones can contribute to grey hair, via a complicated stem cell mechanism,” says the article. However, there are many other factors at work, such as genetics.
• If you have wet hair when you go outside you will get sick: This myth is false. Illnesses are caused from viruses and bacteria, which are airborne. Going outside with a wet head does not increase your chances of getting these.
• Braids and ponytails can make hair fall out: The tension that these styles cause on hair make this myth true. Tension from braids and ponytails can lead to breakage and hair loss.
• Washing hair with cold water will make it shinier: This is often a salon-told lie. Cold water is supposed to seal cuticles, but in reality the opening and closing of cuticles is not determined by temperature.
• It’s not safe to dye hair if you are pregnant: This myth, while it once may have been true, is false. Very little of the dye is absorbed into a woman’s bloodstream. Older dyes may have contained formaldehyde, which should be avoided.
• You should brush hair 100 strokes a day: This can actually cause split ends, according to the article, so this myth is false.
• Beer can help strengthen hair: Don’t go washing hair with beer just yet - this myth is false. While there are some proteins that can help strengthen hair, alcohol will dry it out. “If you’re looking for a way to add proteins to your hair to make it stronger, opt for a Keratin Complex treatment,” says Greenstone.
• Including oysters in your diet will make hair grow: This myth is actually plausible. Oysters are rich in protein and zinc, which are nutrients linked to healthy hair. However, just eating oysters to strengthen and grow out hair is not recommended.
