Hair Trivia – Part 1
There are a couple of beliefs that are simply outrageous that hair experts shun them as truly myths rather than facts. The frequent brushing which other people recommend that is said to stimulate the growth of hair is more likely to damage hair rather than encourage it to grow. Wearing head gear such as hats and other similar accessories is said to cause hair loss, well, not according to hair experts. Why, hair is mainly dead tissue and all the air or oxygen that the hair follicle needs is obtained from the blood vessels, which carries other nutrients to the roots of the hair. Frequent shampooing is also blamed for excessive hair loss by some but experts say there is no link between the frequency of shampoo use and hair loss.
