If you are like many other people, you may think that you know everything you need to about hair care. After all, things like how frequently to wash your hair and how much brushing is too much may be just a few of the things that have been engrained into your head for as long as you can remember. However, in reality, some of the most common things that people think about hair care are actually not true at all. With a closer look at some of the most common hair myths, you may be able to make better decisions about the care of your hair.

Combing Wet Hair From the Top Down Is Best

You may have heard that wet hair is more prone to breakage, and this is indeed true. However, many people have heard that the best way to comb through wet hair is by using a wide-toothed comb and working your hair from the top of the hair down to the ends. This can cause unnecessary strain on wet hair. A better idea to prevent breakage is to comb through the ends first, then slowly work your way up the hair in sections.

Some Hair Care Products Fix Damaged Hair

There are several types of hair care products that promise to fix damaged hair. This may include split ends and other types of damage. In reality, these products may mask the problem or make the problem less noticeable. Trimming off the damaged areas, however, is the only true way to remove split ends and other types of damage from your hair.

Changing Hair Care Products Often Is Best

Some people believe that if you continue to use the same hair care products on a regular basis, they will become less effective for you. Different hair care products work in different ways on your hair, and your actual hair may change over time. For example, it may be more oily or drier, or it may have more residue than when you first started using your hair care products. Washing with a clarifying shampoo periodically is a great way to restore your hair, and you can then continue to use your favorite products without switching brands.

Stress Causes Gray Hair

If you have heard that stress causes gray hair, you are not alone. This is one of the most common myths about hair, and many people will blame the stress of kids or a job on their grey hair. In reality, there is no proof that links gray hair to stress. It has, however, been linked to age, genetics and some types of health conditions.

Pulling Out a Gray Hair Makes More Gray Hair Grow

Many have heard that if you pull out a single gray hair, several more will grow back to replace that one hair. Any time you pull out a single strand of hair, regardless of what color that hair is, only a single strand will grow back in that same hair follicle. However, experts advise against pulling gray hairs out because it can lead to bald spots and irritation on your scalp.

Your Hair Texture Will Stay The Same

This may not be a myth that is commonly discussed, but it is nonetheless in the back of many people's minds. You may think that if you were born with thick, wavy hair, for example, that it will stay the same throughout your life. In reality, everything from stress and age to hormones and even some medications can cause the texture of your hair to change. This means that your hair care products and styling efforts may also need to change.

Hair Grows Faster When You Cut It Often

Many people who are trying to grow their hair out may follow the belief that hair will grow faster if it is trimmed frequently, but this is actually not true at all. Most people's hair will grow about one-half inch per month on average, and this is not related to how frequently you trim your hair. Trims can keep your hair looking stylish while you are growing it out, but if you cut your hair too frequently, you are actually negating the growth that has recently occurred.

Taking care of your hair properly is important if you want to keep it healthy and well-styled. However, many of these myths can lead you astray with your efforts. Now that you know the truth about these myths, you will be able to better care for your hair.

This past week during quarantine I actually did a hair mask on my mom. It was one of the premade ones that I bought from target and then I included purple shampoo. Purple shampoo is great for people who have blonde highlights and they have started to get a cooper tone to them. It helps bring back the blonde and get rid of the orange.

I LOVE doing at home hair masks, they are fun to make and do. I always do them on myself, my mom and my sister. I've made some for all different issues. My mom has really dry hair so ive made masks with coconut oil in them and eggs because those help with damaged hair. My sister likes hair growth masks so I make ones with castor oil in them. One of the most helpful products you can probably find in your pantry is apple cider vinegar. Below is an article explaining the benefits of it and how to use it. I have done apple cider rinses before and I definitely recommend giving them a shot...just be sure to use really good smelling shampoo after because you don't want to walk around smelling like apple cider vinegar!

Apple cider vinegar is having a moment. As a seemingly collective obsession with natural remedies continues to thrive, ACV promises to make your skin clearer, your gut healthier, your hair shinier, and more. For hair especially, the supposed benefits of apple cider vinegar seem to be endless. But what are the actual benefits for your hair and how does science support these claims? Here's what we found.

It promotes a healthy scalp

Apple cider vinegar is naturally anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. As it kills bacteria and fungus and prevents infection, it also eliminates common causes of dandruff, itchiness, and irritation in the scalp. Furthemore, as it balances the pH of your scalp (more on that later), it creates an unwelcoming environment for fungus and bacteria, thus preventing future irritation and itchiness.

It balances the pH of your hair

As many of us learned in chemistry class, "pH" refers to the acidity or alkalinity of a given substance. Acidity and alkalinity are determined based on a scale of 0-14, 0 being completely acidic, 7 being neutral, and 14 being completely alkaline.

The natural acidity of human hair should generally help prevent fungi and bacteria; however, many mainstream hair care products are alkaline, and actually disrupt the natural pH of hair.

Dry, dull, or brittle hair is usually more alkaline, but a little ACV can help remedy that. The acidity in apple cider vinegar works to counteract high alkalinity, lowering the pH and restoring balance to your hair and scalp.

It eliminates product buildup

Sprays, mousses, gels, conditioners and even shampoos can lead to product buildup, or residue left over in your hair and on your scalp. Product buildup then promotes dullness, flatness, and lifelessness in hair.

Luckily, apple cider vinegar contains high amounts of acetic acid, which helps eradicate product buildup and bring hair back to life.

It decreases frizz and increases shine

One of the main causes of frizzy hair is lifted hair cuticles; ACV decreases frizziness by actually smoothing down the hair cuticle, for sleeker, more tamed roots. Smoothing down the cuticle also increases your hair's ability to reflect light, resulting in healthy-looking shine.

How to use it

Now for the fun part. Apple cider vinegar should always be diluted before use on hair. Try mixing 1 cup of water with 2-4 tablespoons of vinegar and then slowly pour the mixture over your hair, massaging it into your scalp. Let it sit for a few minutes, and then rinse. You can experiment with different ratios of vinegar to water, depending on your hair's specific needs.

Dry shampoo is a great tool! It allows you to wash your hair less often which is not only convenient but it is also really good for your hair to not wash it everyday. below is a link to an article that shares some of the best brands of dry shampoo.

It's National Dry Shampoo Day! Yes, there is, in fact, a beauty holiday dedicated to a product that makes unwashed hair look awesome. Without dry shampoo, we'd have to cleanse and blow dry every day, which damages hair, wastes time and makes our arms incredibly sore.

To celebrate this game-changing beauty staple, I've rounded up 5 multi-use dry shampoos that go beyond absorbing oil to make hair look, feel and smell like it did on day one.

One part dry shampoo and one part styling paste, Badlands isn't your typical hair refresher. Volcanic ash, coconut oil and zeolite (scalp neutralizing powder) form a texturizing emulsion that cleanses and defines second-day hair. Work a small amount into slept-on strands for soft, oil-free hold and manageability without any build-up.

Some dry shampoos are notorious for making hair look dehydrated and downright ashy. Not Bumble and bumble's invisible formula. This undetectable, oil-absorbing aerosol refreshes and conditions strands with a combination of nourishing hibiscus extract and sun-shielding UV filters. After a couple spritzes, locks feel clean and soft with zero white residue.

If scented strands are your claim to fame, go for a spray that makes slept-on hair smell like you just walked out of the salon. Gold Lust Dry Shampoo's translucent powder formula not only absorbs oil and product build-up, it also features fragrance-retention technology for hair that holds Oribe's intoxicating signature scent all day long.

Don't let the name "Death Valley" fool you, this dry shampoo actually livens hair up with lustrous body and touchable thickness. Infused with shine-inducing vitamin E, oil-eliminating silica, and strand-swelling pro-vitamin B5, R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo makes bombshell volume effortlessly possible with just a spritz and a tousle. The weightless formula also makes this spray the perfect pre-styler for adding texture while you blow dry.

Heads up, brunettes-Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk Natural Tint can seriously cut down on your styling time. Infused with soothing oat milk, this blow-out extender includes mineral pigments that seamlessly blend into medium to dark brown hair, making it equally effective in preserving your hair color and camouflaging gray. In just two minutes, this fine-powdered cult favorite rids hair of oil while moisturizing sensitive scalps and maintaining the natural balance.
