Holding our head upside down won't make our hair grow faster, and\u00a0sealing our follicles with ice cold water won't make them shinier. The long, lustrous legend of the follicle goes far beyond generations, but how many of these tried and true myths are real? Haute Beauty<\/em> sat down with hair restoration expert\u00a0Dr. Miguel Mascaro<\/a> to unveil the truths behind these myths.<\/p>\n

Myth 1- Hair dye in pregnancy\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Truth:<\/strong> Research on the subject matter is fairly limited.\u00a0 However, the research we do have indicates that the dyes and coloring currently used are not highly toxic.\u00a0 Even then the thickness<\/a> of the scalp makes it very unlikely any minute traces would be absorbed into the bloodstream and reach the fetus.\u00a0 So it's safe to dye your hair during pregnancy or breastfeeding (there are no studies measuring dye in breast milk though).\u00a0 Some people feel safer doing highlights, and that's ok too as those sitting on the hair rather than getting all the way down to the root and scalp.<\/p>\n

Myth 2 - Keratin healthy for hair\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Truth:\u00a0<\/strong>The most important part to understand about keratin treatments to straighten hair is that the key ingredient is formaldehyde.\u00a0 This is the key ingredient<\/a> activated when heat is applied and locks the hair in place. Formaldehyde can be toxic (and there is some research on high exposures to formaldehyde and carcinogenesis) and can weaken the bonds of your hair over time.\u00a0 The good news is that lately there have been some \"formaldehyde free\" alternatives when doing hair straightening treatments. \u00a0The bad news - they don't last nearly as long.<\/p>\n

Myth 3 - Brushing your hair to encourage hair growth\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Truth:<\/strong> This one is very popular! The idea is that it stimulates blood flow and, therefore, gets the right nutrients to the follicles to allow for adequate hair growth<\/a>.\u00a0 This is not true.\u00a0 Frequent brushing will lead to breakage and damage, which will make your hair lose its shine.\u00a0 Wide-toothed combs or paddle-style brushes with plastic, ball-tipped bristles work cause the least amount of trauma.<\/p>\n

Myth 4 - Cold water for\u00a0shiny hair\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Truth:<\/strong> Remember the cuticle is not a living cell, so it can't react to cold or hot water! You are better off limiting the damage is done to the cuticle (straightening with heat, treatments, etc) and using products with natural oils to create shine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
