Healthy hair isn’t just about luck—it’s about proper care and science-backed habits. Let’s bust some popular myths:

1. Myth: Applying oil Makes Hair Grow Faster

· Fact: While oil nourishes the scalp and reduces dryness, it doesn’t speed up hair growth

· Hair growth depends mainly on genetics, nutrition, and overall health

· oil helps prevent breakage and split ends, giving an impression of longer hair

2. Myth: Frequent Haircuts Make Hair Thicker

· Fact: Cutting hair removes split ends but doesn’t influence the growth rate or thickness

· Hair growth happens at the root, not the tip, so trims only improve hair appearance

3. Myth: Brushing 100 Strokes a Day Boosts Growth

· Fact: Over-brushing can damage hair shafts and increase breakage

· Gentle brushing is enough to distribute natural oils and reduce tangles

4. Myth: Shampooing Daily Causes Hair Fall

· Fact: Daily washing doesn’t cause hair fall if you use mild, sulfate-free shampoos

· Hair naturally sheds around 50–100 strands per day, independent of shampoo frequency

5. Myth: home Remedies Can Replace Proper Care

· Fact: DIY masks or herbal oils may nourish hair superficially

· Long-term hair health depends on balanced diet, hydration, proper scalp care, and avoiding heat or chemical damage

✅ Bottom Line

Healthy hair is less about myths and more about consistent care, nutrition, and avoiding damage. Oils, trims, and masks help maintain hair quality, but true growth is rooted in your overall health and genetics.
