Everyone has an opinion about hair loss causes and cures. It is important seperate fact from fiction, so that you can make the best informed choices for treatment. There are several myths about the causes of hair loss, and here we will take you through the most popular explanations:
Myth #8: Certain hairstyles cause hair loss.
This myth is true. If you style your hair in such a way that it is constantly pulled or strained, as in the case of ponytails or tight braiding, this can cause hair to fall out much faster than naturally inclined.
Myth #7: If your mother’s father was bald, you will be too.
This one is actually false. Baldness and thinning hair can be caused by a combination of genetic contributions, but does not come solely from the maternal side of your family. On the same token, if your father has a full head of hair, you won’t necessarily be so fortunate, and if he’s bald, you may not be.
Myth #6: Perms and dyes will cause hair loss.
This is also a false presumption. Dyeing your hair or perming it will not affect hair loss. However, they can help disguise the problem if you’re already experiencing it.
Myth #5: Shampooing several times a day will speed up hair loss.
Not true. Mother Nature will not punish you for your cleanliness. Frequent shampooing does not affect your thinning hair in any way.
Myth #4: Stressing out causes your hair to fall out.
If you’re figuratively “pulling your hair out” over stressful work or family relations, don’t bother – it will fall out on its own accord. Increased stress can kill off hair follicles that would normally remain healthy for many years. So just chill out, take a deep breath, and visualize the full head of hair you’ll have after removing the stress from your life.
Myth #3: Frequent haircuts will make your hair grow faster and longer.
Unfortunately, we’re not so lucky. Hair actually grows from the root, not the tip, so cutting has no effect on speed or strength of your hair. However, as the older hair near the ends gets overworked and brittle, cutting those off can give you the appearance of thicker hair. Removing the extra weight of extremely long hair can help with this also.
Myth #2: Wearing a hat speeds up hair loss.
Not likely, if it fits correctly. If you tend to wear a hat to cover up your baldness, you want to make sure it isn’t too tight or constricting.
Myth #1: Having a cowlick or rubbing curry on your head will prevent hair loss.
Are you serious? Old wives’ tales will absolutely not keep your hair from falling out. Claims such as this are a waste of time and good spices.
So, what can you actually do to stimulate regrowth and prevent future hair loss? Regaine is one of the only products available today with proven clinical results for men and women. Regardless of the reasons for your hair loss, you do have a choice about what to do about it from here on out. If you take action as early as possible, your results will surpass what you ever could have expected.
