There is some false myth around hair. Spencer David Kobren writes some fact about hair in his book ‘ The Hairloss Truth’. Here is some myth and fact around hair.
Fact : Hair loss can be inherit by both parents.
Myth : 100 piece of hair fall in a day doesn’t have to make us worry because its normal
Fact : If u don’t have the sign of hair loss ( hair is thining in certain area), then the number of hair fall is normal cause the hair that fall will be replaced by a new hair from the hair roots. But if u have the sign of hair loss , you should take care of your hair more carefully, the hair fall because of the hair roots that almost die. The hair roots that almost die only can grow a very smooth hair which almost unseen. Dead hair roots is surely cannot grow hair.
Myth : you can add the number of hair roots with medicine, traditional or chemical treatment, massage, diet, or certain device.
Fact : No, the number and diameter of hair roots depend on inherit factor. You can’t add folikels to your head skin. But you can keep it by recognizing the cause of it.
Myth : Cuting your hair can make the hair grow faster.
Fact : No, hair grow averagely 1,5 cm every months. Cutting hair doesn’t effect the thickness of hair piece or number of hair that grow from folikels.
Myth : If we didn’t cut our hair, the hair will continiously grow.
Fact : No the length of hair depends on head condition of each individuals, the longer the hair growing fase, the longer it grow. If your hair’s nature is to have a long fase of grow, your hair can grow until below the waist. In backward if your hair’s nature is to have short fase of grow, your hair will fall and only reach certain length. The long of growing fase depends on inherit factor and nutrient.
Myth : wearing hat can make the hair fall
Fact : hair will fall if the blood circulation into the folikels is jammed. So as long as you don’t wear your hat to tight everyday, the hair will not fall. Hair can be broken by sweat, dirt, skin partikel that cover the pore.
Myth : using hair dryer will make hair fall.
Fact : No, but it can make your hair dry and broken and then fall. But it will be replace by a new hair that comes out from the folikels at the grow fase. Hair can’t grow if the folikels die, just like grass that can’t grow if the roots is dead.
