Busting the Biggest Haircare Myths That Fooled Us All.
Embarking on a haircare journey can sometimes feel like navigating a labyrinth of conflicting advice and age-old myths. Fear not, fellow hair enthusiasts—we're here to set the record straight. Let's bust through some common haircare myths and rumours to ensure your locks get the love they deserve.
Myth 1: Air Drying is a Savior, Right? Sure, we've heard that air drying is the holy grail for hair health. While too much heat can be a villain, air drying isn't necessarily the hero. Moisture actually weakens your hair, makes it frizzy, and ruins your style.
Myth 2: Hats Cause Hair to Thin? Not True. Wearing a hat causing hair thinning? Wearing a hat actually protects hair from direct sunlight. So, hat lovers, rock your headgear without fear. Your hair will thank you.
Myth 3: Heat Tools are Always a No-No? Not Anymore. Yes, too much heat can be a hair villain, but with today's tech, it's not the villain it used to be. Styling tools like the Remington Pro 1 Straightener are armed with sensor technology, preventing hair damage.
Myth 4: Frequent Trims for Hair Growth? Nope. Trimming your hair every few weeks for growth? Think again. Hair growth starts from the root, so focus on a healthy scalp. You can go six months between trims if you care for your hair.
Myth 5: Your Hair Must Follow a Part Rule? Nah. Feel stuck with your hair part? Create a part wherever you like, wet your hair, add mousse, and blow-dry in your desired direction. It's that simple.
Myth 6: The "Perfect Cut" Struggle. We definitely encourage embracing natural texture, your hair looks best when you work with its natural style. No need to force your hair into something it's not.
FACT: Daily Washing Won't Make Your Scalp Greasier. Shampoo isn't there to produce oil—it cleanses. Greasiness comes from styling products and constant touching. So wash away without worry.
FACT: Silicones—Not So Great. While silicones were added for shine, they can build up and make hair dull. Look for naturally derived silicones to avoid the plastic-related issues.
FACT: Lighter Colors for Fuller Illusion. Lighter hues give the illusion of fullness by making hair a bit more 'wirey'. Darker tones can make it softer. It's all about the optical illusion.
FACT: Cold Water Doesn't Seal the Cuticle. Contrary to the belief that cold water boosts shine, it can hinder blood flow to the scalp, affecting hair growth. Warm water is your friend.
FACT: Sun Protection for Your Hair? Absolutely. Just like skin, hair needs sun protection. UV damage can dull your color and damage your locks. Invest in products like R+CO that offer SPF and UV protection.
As you navigate the maze of haircare advice, arm yourself with these truths. Your locks will thank you for separating myth from reality. Happy hair days!
