Truth or False about Hair ... Part 2 of 2




5. Will wearing a ponytail in the same area give you a bald spot?





TRUE "The effect is called traction alopecia. The constant tugging by a tight band can scar hair follicles and cause them to stop growing new hair," said Doris Day a dermatologist in N.Y.C. She also told an InStyle editor that "She would suggest switching pony positions daily to alleviate tension. Tie back hair with a soft elastic band and wrap the ponytail as loosely as poosible."

FYI: It's not just ponytails that cause this... it is also other hair products like

❤headbands


❤braids


and

❤barrettes



when repeatedly worn in the same spot.



6.Does brushing your hair often make it healthier?


Brushing your hair 100 times before bed won't make your hair look any better. In fact, it might make your hair look worse. "Over-brushing can dull hair by destroying the cuticle, as well as causing split ends and breakage," explains Desai to InStyle.FALSE

❤And using the wrong tool could furthur harm your hair.


❤In general, plastic and metal bristles can weaken the hair cuticle and cause damage or static flyaways.


❤Natural boar bristle hairbrushes are ideal to maintain your hair.


7. Does hair get immune to shampoo?



FALSE Shampoo will always do it's job:clean.

❤So why does it seem like your favorite bottle of shampoo stops working? It contains ingredients that condition and provide styling benefits, but it can leave residue that builds up.





❤When this happens .. Try switching to a Clairifying shampoo!




8. Can coloring your hair change it's texture?



TRUE Temporarily, of course- but sometimes for the better. Permanent color removes the protective layer on your hair and lifts the cuticles so dyes are able to penetrate, Desai also explains to InStyle.. "Color can swell the hair shaft and give it body."

FYI: The change is especially noticeable on women with fine or thinning hair, as well as those with gray roots!
