Facts and Common Myths
Africans CAN wash their hair more frequently than the typical "2 weeks". They may even wash it everyday if they wanted to. Some people believe that washing more will help the hair grow more. How is this possible? WITH A MOISTURIZING SHAMPOO that doesnt strip your hair of moisture. Once you find that product thats suitable for you, go for it!
Stop saying you need a perm. PERMS curl caucasian, hispanic, etc 's hair. RELAXERS relax our kinks and curls to be straighter.
Many people confuse DANDRUFF with DRY SCALP. The scalp could be dry and flaky OR the products you use can leave a flaky film. Dandruff is a serious health issue and requires medical attention and prescribed medication. The 'flakes' are actually oily, not dry. Very few people have actual dandruff and you would know it if you did.
Trimming your hair will NOT make it grow faster. Hair comes from your SCALP not your ends. I cant believe some people actually believe that trimming helps growth. Trimming may help you retain length by getting rid of damaged ends.
You can not mend slit ends. Once they split, thats it. Cut them off and hope that the hair that you cut doesnt split too.
Brushing 100 times. Unnecessary. They say it helps wake up the follicles. Yeah, it can but more brushing can lead to more damage depending on the type of brush and the condition of the hair.
Sleeping with a wet head does NOT cause scalp fungus. If anything, be careful of how you sleep because hair is more prone to breakage when its wet.
Salon products are manufactured at a higher quality then drugstore products and the concentration that goes into them will give you the best possible results. Cheap products aren't just boo boo, some of them really do mimic the feel of professional products.
"Greasing" the scalp is a NO NO depending on what youre using. If the product is heavy in mineral oil or petrolatum, never touch it again.
