3 MYTH OR TRUTH ABOUT HAIR

3 MYTH OR TRUTH ABOUT HAIR

1. Red hair color fades the fastest.

Verdict: True

If you are a hair stylist, you may notice that your bright auburn lessens in intensity after one or two months. You’re not imagining things.  When the hair expose to water, all dye molecules diffuse out of the hair a bit. But, since dye molecules red are smaller than brown or black molecules, so they go away faster (blondes don’t have to worry about shade fade – bleaching removes melanin altogether, so there’s no hue to lose). This is one myth we wish was false!

 2. Chlorine from pools can turn your hair green.

Verdict: True

If you’re a blonde swimmer you might’ve noticed that, eventually, the water turns your tresses a lovely shade of chartreuse. Here’s a little-known fact: it’s actually not a result of chlorine. The culprit? The oxidized metals found in the solutions used to cleanse pools (like copper, which turns from brown to green over time – i.e., the Statue of Liberty). These metals can deposit a greenish hue onto strands, which shows up on light hair. Good thing it’s easy to reverse! Simply remove the shade with a detoxifying, clarifying shampoo.

3. You shouldn't wash your hair everyday.

Verdict: Myth

The new sentiment among hairinistas is that frequent shampoos can damage and dehydrate your tresses.  Not true!  How often  you cleanse your coiffure is entirely up to you - and it all depends on your type of hair, hairstyle, the way you care your hair and lifestyle.  While shampoo-addicts aren't in danger of ruining their hair, it's still important to keep it out of damage.  So, use a uitable: shampoo, conditioner, and natural oil that formulated for your hair type, handle your hair gently (no rough brushing or combing, especially when wet!), and give the hair care one or two days per week.
