Facts vs. Myths

Daily use of blow dryers cause thinning hair

  • Too much heat from the blow dryer can dry your hair and cause brittleness and breakage. It will not, however, make your hair thinner. Use common sense and a lower setting when using heating elements on hair.

If dad is bald, I’ll be bald

  • Though paternal influence plays a genetic part in one’s hair future, actual hereditary patterns are from both parents. If both mom and pop are balding, chances are so will you. But if only pop has thin hair, and mom has thick hair, your chances are greater for less hair loss.

Brush your hair 100 strokes every day to stimulate hair growth.

  • Over-brushing can actually damage your hair.

Tight caps and hats will make you bald.

  • This is just another myth. Hats won’t and can’t shrink hair follicles.

Cutting Hair Will Make It Grow Thicker

  • Because your hair is thicker at the base, cutting your hair may give it an appearance of being thicker. But after the hair’s normal life span, new hair grows at the same original diameter of your pre-cut hair.
