Here is a list of Myths and Facts about your Hair and how you take care of them
Myths. The not-so-true-story.
Myth # 1 : Cutting your hair will make it grow faster.
A cut at the ends of your hair does not affect the follicles on the scalp, which determine what fast and how hair grows. Hair grows an average of a quarter inch each month.Regular adjustments can be made to make the hair look a little longer, however. To get rid of split ends reduces hair breakage, and the breakage is what makes hair look thinner at the ends (and shorter). Every eight to 12 weeks, ask your stylist to take off the minimum necessary to remove split ends.
Myth # 2 : Washing your hair everyday dries it out.
The shampoo suitable for your type of hair and texture actually increases moisture, gives it a body and the beautifies your hair. The answer is to find the right shampoo designed for your hair.
In addition, it is possible to clean the hair with water alone, diluted Shampoo or the air conditioner only only. Decide if you must wash your hair every day or not to consult your professional hair and take into account of your hair type.

Avoid the boar bristle brushes.Natural bristles are not all the same, so they are especially hard on the hair and scalp.
