MYTHS AND TRUTH ABOUT HAIR LOSS

#Hairloss is a common condition that can happen to anyone. But people believe in some myths and these myths lead to a lot of people believing that they can actually prevent their hair loss by using these techniques. 

Some myths and truth behind hair loss that can be highlighted so that  we can help people understand more about hair loss and why it affects some people.

MYTH: Washing hair in cold water will prevent baldness 

TRUTH: Washing your hair with cold water may increase blood circulation, but it will not prevent baldness

There are some benefits to washing your hair in cold water, such as frizz prevention and cuticle tightening. However, there are no direct associations between washing your hair in cold water and baldness prevention. 

MYTH: Wearing a hat will cause baldness

TRUTH: Hair follicles don’t need to breathe as they get their oxygen from the blood

The only cause of baldness from hats is if you wear one that exerts excessive tension or friction on your head. Hair follicles don’t need to breathe on the exterior, meaning that you can wear a hat 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Hats will not cause hair loss. 

MYTH:Regular brushing of the hair and scalp will prevent hair loss

TRUTH: Brushing will boost circulation but will not stop balding

In fact, brushing your hair too much may cause injury, which will lead to hair loss. Many assume that boosting blood circulation in your head will make balding hair re-grow. But, in fact, this is not true. 

MYTH: Cutting your hair will not prevent hair loss

TRUTH: Your hair feels thicker after a haircut but it does not prevent hair loss 

Your hair might feel lusciously thick after visiting a salon but that does not mean cutting it prevents hair loss. The hair follicles only appear that way simply because the hair shaft is thicker near the roots. Also shorter hair tends to have more lift which gives the impression of thickness and volume. 

MYTH: Hair loss comes from the mother’s side

TRUTH: It is often genetic but comes from both parents 

Many people believe that hair loss is passed down from the mother’s side. While the X chromosome (which you get from your mother) is  key gene for baldness, it is not the only genetic factor. Men who have bald fathers also have an increased chance of going bald. Baldness in general is usually genetically determined.
