HAIR MYTHS WE’RE BUSTING THEM! If you’ve heard stories about conditioner being a farce or that hair grows slower in winter - you might have had the wool pulled over your eyes! #1: Bleach disappears when you colour over it. False! Bleaching is a permanent process. Bleach (or powder lightener as we know it) never washes out. If you were to colour over lightened hair it is still considered lightened hair as the bleach is just hiding under the colour. The only way to get rid of bleach is to cut it out or grow it out. #2: Using clippers makes your hair grow thicker and faster. False! Your hair will grow from the same follicle. The way it’s cut can make it appear thicker, but it doesn’t alter the texture or thickness of your hair. Your hair grows at its own rate no matter how it’s cut. #3: Hair grows faster in summer and slower in winter. Not true. Everyone’s hair grows at different rates, it has nothing to do with the weather. #4: You don’t need conditioner, shampoo does the trick. Sorry everyone, false! We all need conditioner. It seals the cuticle smooth again after we shampoo the hair. If you feel like your hair is too greasy you might be using a conditioner that is too heavy or not suitable for your hair type. Avoid conditioning the scalp and roots and focus on the mid-lengths to ends to prevent oil build up. #5: Split ends can be cured with product. Unfortunately this is a myth! There are products such as Redken’s Extreme Anti-Snap leave in conditioning treatment which gently smoothes the hair cuticle reducing friction from brushing and preventing further damage. But the only way to completely get rid of split ends is to cut them off. We reccommend getting a haircut regularly to prevent split ends and breakage. We’re experts in hairdressing and hair care so we’re always happy to offer advice, inspiration, tips and clear up anything you’re not sure about when it comes to hair!
