Time to bust these hair myths

- HTC

Pluck one grey hair, expect two more to grow back in its place. Pregnant women should not colour their hair. These are some of common myths people believe in, says an expert. Here’s a list of myths attached with hair: If you pluck one grey hair, two will grow back in its place: One grey strand usually means more grey hair. This myth started because people plucked one grey hair, then noticed more afterwards. You can’t dye your hair when you are pregnant: The main concern with dyeing your hair during pregnancy is the risk associated with inhaling ammonia. You can go for ammonia-free products. Washing your hair with beer will make it softer: People believe that the malt and yeast in the beer are supposed to react well with the hair proteins, keeping it strong, shiny and bouncy. But, alcohol dries out your hair more than the proteins repairing it. Your regular shampoo can work better and safer. Shampoo first, conditione­r second: Conditioni­ng before you shampoo is great to add nourishmen­t to fine hair without weighing it down. Cutting your hair frequently makes it grow faster: A healthy scalp is all what you need for growing your hair.
