Myth 1: Don’t Dare to Wash Your Hair Every Day
Washing your hair every day is a common concern among many people, but it is a myth that washing your hair every day is harmful. The amount of hair loss per person per day is between 50 and 100, and washing hair every day does not lead to hair loss unless excessive force is applied while washing. The scalp does not become oilier due to washing every day unless excessive hair oil is applied or the lifestyle and diet are not good. How often to wash hair depends on the amount of oil produced by the scalp and the degree of dirt on the hair that day. Experts suggest that people with oily scalps can wash their hair once every 1-2 days, and people whose scalp does not produce much oil do not necessarily need to wash their hair every day if they do not go to a dirty or dusty environment that day, or do not sweat a lot. Abnormal hair loss should be recorded in a hair loss diary, and if hair loss is excessive, a dermatologist should be consulted.
Myth 2: Shampoo Should be Changed Frequently
Choosing a mild shampoo with simple ingredients is generally recommended. There is a myth that the brand of shampoo should be changed frequently, but if you feel comfortable after using the selected shampoo, you can continue to use it. Different shampoos are suitable for different types of scalp, such as gentle products for a healthy scalp, transparent texture shampoo for oily scalps, mild shampoo for dry scalps, and simple and mild shampoo with anti-allergic and soothing ingredients for sick scalps. Medicinal shampoos should be used according to the doctor’s instructions, and shampoos containing steroids are not suitable for long-term use.
Myth 3: Using a Hair Dryer to Dry Hair After Washing Will Hurt Your Hai
Another myth is that using a hair dryer to dry hair after washing will hurt the hair, but this is not necessarily true. Experts suggest that whether the hair is blow-dried or wiped dry, moisture should not stay on the scalp for a long time to maintain long-term health. Staying moisture on the skin for a long time may cause symptoms such as a heavy head, headache, and stiff shoulders, and neck,
which will lead to low sleep quality and repeated colds. In addition, if the hair is not dried in time, it is also easy to cause dandruff, folliculitis, and other scalp problems.
Therefore, it is recommended to use a hair dryer to dry your hair after washing, but it is also important to pay attention to the following points:
1. Use a hairdryer with adjustable temperature and wind speed. Do not use too high temperature and too strong wind speed to blow directly at the scalp, as this may damage the hair and scalp.
2. Keep the hair dryer at a distance of about 20cm from the hair, and keep moving the hair dryer to avoid overheating in one area.
3. When drying, use a comb or brush to comb the hair in the direction of the hair growth to help dry the hair and prevent tangles.
4. Use a heat protectant product before blow-drying to reduce heat damage to the hair.
5. If you are in a hurry, you can first use a towel to absorb excess moisture from the hair, and then use a hair dryer to dry it.
Myth 4: Brush Your Hair 100 Times a Day to Make it Shiny
Many people believe that brushing their hair 100 times a day can make their hair shiny and healthy. However, this is a myth. Excessive brushing can actually cause damage to the hair.
Experts recommend that you only need to comb your hair gently with a comb or brush to untangle the hair, and you do not need to brush your hair too many times. It is also important to choose the right comb or brush for your hair type. For example, if you have curly hair, it is better to use a wide-tooth comb to avoid damage to the hair.
It is also important to avoid brushing wet hair, as wet hair is more vulnerable and prone to breakage. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently comb through wet hair.
