If you ever suffered from hair loss, surely you faced different comments from your aunts, grandmothers, and mom telling you thousands of conspiracy theories about why it was falling out.
Reality: there is a lot of ignorance on the subject of hair loss, and we are not always completely sure what is the reason for it to happen. Some people comment that it has to do with the way we comb our hair, others say that it is related to dyeing, and there is no shortage of saying that it is because we are simply going bald.
Now, what is the truth? Today we are going to discover it! Because we no longer want you to panic or think that something is wrong with you, we better demystify some beliefs and discover real causes. Ready?
Myth # 1. Hair loss does not happen when you are young
This is completely false!
There are several factors why your hair could fall out and they have nothing to do with age. And although it is true that women in their 40s can experience hair loss at a higher rate, that does not mean that those under that age cannot experience it as well. There are several factors that go beyond age.
Myth # 2. Hair loss is genetic
This is partly true and false.
It is true that there are conditions that have to do with genetics such as androgenic alopecia, but genetics do not completely predispose the way your hair will be. There are professionals who point out that, although genetics has something to do with it, the influence of the environment is also important.
Myth # 3. If I tie my hair or wear hats, my hair falls out more
You do not have to stop putting on your dream outfit with a spectacular hat or tie your hair, as this does not influence too much hair loss. There are other more important causes such as hormones, nutrition, or stress. Although we do recommend avoiding hairstyles that are too tight every day or that require stretching your hair too much because you can damage your hair follicles.
Myth # 4. Haircare products can fix it
It depends!
If you suffer from hair loss you should be especially careful with the products you use, because there are ingredients that could end up making the situation worse, for example, phthalates, parabens, or dioxanes. We recommend that you read the ingredients of each product you use and avoid the ones we mentioned.
Myth # 5. Painting your hair makes it fall out
This also depends!
Any excess hair procedure can weaken and break your hair, especially if it is not done with the indicated products and with professionals in the area. And this not only happens with coloring: it also happens with hairstyles that require a lot of tension or with the excessive use of heat … Always remember to protect your hair!
Remember that hair loss is a very deep issue and, if it happens to you, do not think that there is no solution. We recommend you check how your diet is, your stress levels, and your hormones because everything can be related.
