DEBUNKING EVERY HAIRFALL MYTH, YOU'VE EVER HEARD!
There are several tips and tricks to deal with hairfall that we have heard, read or tried. But how many of them really work? Trying every heard and read anti-hairfall tip can only backfire and cause excessive hairfall. Sometimes, these anti-hairfall tips may provide a temporary solution but cause permanent hair damage. Therefore, it is imperative to decipher which hairfall tip is a myth and which one is a fact. Lucky for you, we are here to help you unravel this mystery and help you understand what’s true and what’s false.
MYTH OR FACT? LET'S DECODE
HAIRCUTS CAN IMPROVE HAIR GROWTH
We have all at least once gone for a trim in the hope of our hair to magically grow fast. But does getting a trim really help? Cutting your hair helps get rid of all the split ends and damaged hair. A new hair cut will always add bounce and volume to your hair, but it doesn’t necessarily improve hair growth. Hair grows at the scalp and a healthy, nourished scalp results in hair growth. Haircuts, however, do not do either. They just make your hair look healthier.
Final verdict- MYTH
CAN CAPS INCREASE HAIRFALL?
Wearing tight caps can damage your hair follicles and make your scalp sweat. This sweat is accumulated and can clog your pores causing hairfall. Tight caps can cause tugging and intense damage if worn for a long time. However, loose caps made from cotton that are kept clean can help you avoid this problem. Therefore, the hair fall solution is to wear loose and clean caps.
Final verdict- Partial FACT
HAIR DYES CAN CAUSE HAIRFALL
Everyone wants that pretty pop of colour that makes your hair look like a perfect ten. However bright colours that require you to bleach your hair can bring extreme damage to your hair. This bleached and dry hair tends to break causing excessive hairfall. Dyed hair needs to be taken immense care of and conditioned every time you shower. Using a conditioner will lock in all the moisture and prevent hair from getting dry and brittle like the all-new Pantene Hairfall Control Conditioner.
Final verdict- FACT
CAN TOO MUCH SHAMPOO CAUSE HAIRFALL
The ‘no-poo’ movement by influencers and bloggers created an entire wave of belief that shampooing can cause hairfall. The shampoo helps in cleaning your scalp from excessive oil and dirt that can clog your pores and cause infection. Skipping the shampoo can also cause dandruff to build on your scalp and prevent hair growth. Therefore, it is necessary to use a shampoo that cleans your scalp and strengthens the roots. Our hair is the weakest in the shower, making it a necessity to use a shampoo that prevents it from breaking. Use Pantene Hairfall Control Shampoo from the Advanced Hairfall Solution Range to strengthen your hair and prevent it from hairfall caused due to breakage.
Final verdict- MYTH
EXCESSIVE STYLING CAN CAUSE HAIRFALL
We all have heard the saying- Anything in excess is bad. This same saying goes well for styling too. Styling tools like flat irons, curlers and blow dryers can cause damage to your hair and weaken them. Using the blow-dryer extremely close to the scalp can also cause your scalp to burn and lead to pattern baldness. Damaged hair due to heat is weak and can cause breakage leading to hairfall. Therefore, it is important to apply a heat protectant that protects your hair from the damage caused due to styling. Apply a heat protectant like Pantene Open Hair Miracle through the lengths of your hair before styling and you’re all set to get styling in a damage-free manner.
Final verdict- FACT
ARE HAIRFALL AND THINNING THE SAME?
Before we dive deeper into this, let us understand what’s hairfall, hair loss and hair thinning?
Hairfall- Hairfall is the most common problem that everyone faces on a day-to-day basis. Every individual normally tends to shed 50-100 strands of hair. However, anything excessive than that is alarming.
Hair loss- Hair loss occurs when something stops your hair from growing. It may be a result of hereditary, diet, harsh hair care products, excessive styling, etc. Hair thinning- Hair thinning occurs when your hair strands that were once thick, thin down and the volume of your hair reduces. Hair strands become thin and weak and can even lead to hair loss.
Therefore, hairfall, hair loss and hair thinning are completely different but have almost the same effect.
Final verdict- MYTH
