SUMMARY
- If you notice that significant hair loss occurs more than twice a year and for longer than a month, it's time to ring the alarm. The possible reasons might be connected with pregnancy, physical and emotional stress, dramatic weight loss and other changes your system may go through.
- Even the most powerful hormonal drugs can’t force cells to divide at a higher speed, which is why no cosmetic products can make your hair grow faster. The growth speed is a genetic trait, and it is usually 0.5 inch a month.
- The foam and shampoo leftovers that are on the hair while rinsing will be enough to cleanse the whole hair length. However, it’s vice versa with conditioner: you should apply it only to the hair itself. Hair roots are naturally healthier and get oily much quicker, and so the moisturizing effect of a conditioner is not needed.
- Hair dryers, as well as different hair curlers, negatively affect only "bare hair" — hair that is not protected by any styling products. If you use special cosmetic products for hair styling, such as a hair foam or some thermal protection, you don’t need to worry about the health of your hair. But it doesn't mean that you should choose the hottest setting on your blow dryer and go for it – moderation is the key here.
- In some ways, regular hair cutting does improve its state – when you remove the split ends your hair start to look way healthier and even a bit thicker. So, the power of a good haircut definitely shouldn't be underestimated; therefore, it still has its boundaries.
- Usually, babies lose some of the hair or all of it around four months of age or later. Then, new “adult” hairs start to grow, and they can have a different structure and color from the previous ones. Still, the thickness of it doesn't change that much.
- The actual possibility of keratin straightening sounds very attractive, but, in fact, it's way more dangerous for your hair than you may think. Of course, the formula composition for keratin straightening has improved over the years. Initially, it contained formaldehyde, used in autopsies.
- Scientists have discovered that blondes have more hair than brunettes and redheads. However, their hair is much thinner, and that's where the illusion of less hair comes from. That’s the main reason why natural blondes can rarely boast about their thick and dense hair, while redheads always cause sighs of envy.
- Over tightening may easily damage your hair follicles, which will most certainly lead to the hair loss. But don't worry, the hairdo itself is completely safe and won't cause any harm to your hair.
- Dandruff is a sign of the extra work of your sebaceous glands, due to which an extra amount of exfoliated skin particles appears. That’s why you can’t "get infected" with dandruff by trying on another person’s cap or by borrowing his comb. Unfortunately, the possible reasons for dandruff are still unclear.
- Women’s hair gets thinner due to constant styling, dying, and different experiments in hair salons. Men, in their turn, are more conservative when it comes to taking care of and styling their hair and hairdos, which is why their hair more often stays denser and healthier.
