Girls have
learned about hair from their mothers and grandmothers
down through the ages. Fashion India has investigated
some of these passed down bits of wisdom to separate the
useful information from mythology. The following are tidbits
that require some thinking before they are blindly believed.
 Myth
:
A woman should brush her hair one hundred strokes everyday
to keep it healthy and shiny.
Fact : Useful in its day. This was
a useful practice in the time when there were not good
conditioning agents for hair. The brushing served to distribute
the natural oils throughout the length of the hair serving
as a natural conditioner.
Now that most of us have hair that is color treated or
permanent waved, this is not recommended because excessive
brushing can break the hair or wear away the cuticle layer
causing the ends to split.
Myth : Vinegar should be used as
an after shampoo rinse for shine. This again was Useful
in its day.
Fact : The acidity of both of these
products helped to remove soap residue from the hair after
washing. They left the hair shiny and squeaky-clean.
However, modern, detergent based, shampoo leaves no soap
scum on the hair and, again, with the popularity of hair
color and permanent waves, the use of a rinse with this
amount of acidity is not recommended.
Myth : Train your hair by continually
combing it in the same style.
Fact : Most hair experts will agree
on the fact that research has found hair to be untrainable.
New hair, growing in, is going to go it's own direction
unless you use styling products, blow dryer, curling iron
or other styling technique to redirect it. Once you shampoo
the "set" out, you start again.
Myth : Going out in chilly weather
with wet hair can make you sick. According to doctors,
this is a Myth.
Fact : Colds and other viral illnesses
are common occurrences and there is no evidence that anything
other than exposure to a sick person is the cause.
Myth : Shaving your legs will cause
heavier, darker hair growth. Total Myth.
Fact : Shaving will not make hair
grow thicker or darker. We have a certain number of hairs
growing on our bodies and this does not change by shaving.
Change of color sometimes may occur, but is a natural
process whether the hair has been shaved or not.
Myth : Cutting hair will make it
grow faster. Again Myth.
Fact : The rate of growth, at the
root, remains the same. Trimming the ends from the hair
will help it to grow longer, but only because when split
ends are allowed to remain, they will continue to split
up higher, causing the hair to break off, thus shortening
the hair.
While it is always wise to learn from our mothers and
grandmothers, it is important take the time to ascertain
whether this wisdom is something that has outlived its
usefulness or is a myth that has been passed down through
the ages.
