Hair is undoubtedly one of the basic pillars when it comes to making that good impression we so desire. And it is that hair has the power to completely change the physical appearance of a person, whether male or female. But... do we really know everything about him? There are countless myths and truths about hair, which is why Blow Dry Bar, the new, avant-garde, organic and eco-friendly New York beauty salon concept, explains 10 things about your hair so you can get the most out of its beauty.
1. Cold water makes hair look shinier. It is not necessary to do all the washing with cold water. We can start with warm water and the last rinse with water at a lower temperature. In this way we will make the hair shine much more.
2. You should not go to bed with wet hair. If we go to sleep with wet hair, we can damage the cuticle of the scalp, causing irritation that will later cause us discomfort.
3. Cutting hair often causes it to grow earlier. In order for hair to grow faster, it is necessary to review the ends, at least every two months.
4. Washing your hair every day is not bad. It all depends on whether or not you use the right products for your hair type. There are a large number of hairs and not all of them need to be washed with the same frequency and the same intensity.
5. Washing it little or not washing it is not good. All hair needs to be washed every X time. No hair can look beautiful and healthy by washing it too infrequently.
6. If you pluck a gray hair, you will not get more in the same place. Gray hairs are born due to a natural process, pulling them out has nothing to do with them coming out more.
7. It is advisable to detangle the hair when it is wet. The best time to untangle your hair is right after you get out of the shower, since in those moments the hair is much more flexible when it is wet, and when we "pull" it we damage it less than when it is dry.
8. Dandruff does not favor hair loss. We know that the sebaceous gland and the hair follicle are together, but they are two phenomena that have nothing to do with each other.
9. Washing your hair a lot does not make it fall out more. The hair that falls out when washed is "old" hair that is lost due to any trauma that healthy hair resists. Every day, an average of 50 hairs are shed, which later grow back in the same place, so the total number of hairs will always remain constant.
10. Tying your hair can break it. If we tie our hair with a thin rubber band and we do a very tight updo, it can break. The ideal would be to hold it with cloth-wrapped bobby pins, since they are much softer and do not damage the hair at all.
