Hair Myths, Busted: What Really Helps Your Hair Look Its Best

When it comes to hair care advice, the internet is full of do’s and don’ts, but how do you know what’s actually true? At Recitals Hair Salon, we’re here to help you separate fact from fiction so you can feel confident in your hair care routine. Let’s break down a few of the biggest myths we hear all the time.

Myth 1: Frequent Trims Make Your Hair Grow Faster

We hate to break it to you, but trimming your hair doesn’t affect how fast it grows. Hair growth happens at the scalp, not the ends. However, that doesn’t mean trims aren’t important. Regular trims help prevent and remove split ends, which can travel up the hair shaft and cause breakage, frizz, or thinning. If your goal is long, healthy-looking hair, keeping those ends neat and strong is essential.

Pro Tip: Book a trim every 6–8 weeks to maintain shape and prevent damage.

Myth 2: Washing Your Hair Every Day Is Bad

This one’s a little more complicated. Whether daily washing is good or bad depends on your scalp type, hair texture, and lifestyle. If you work out often or have an oily scalp, daily shampooing might be necessary. On the other hand, dry or curly hair may only need a few washes per week.

The most important thing? Choosing the right hair products. Look for shampoos and conditioners that hydrate, balance, and support scalp health without stripping away your natural oils.

Myth 3: Your Hair Gets “Used To” Products

It’s a common misconception that your hair stops responding to the same products over time. In reality, your hair’s needs change. Weather, stress, diet, and chemical treatments can all impact your hair and scalp. That’s why switching up your routine every season or so is actually a smart move, not a sign that your shampoo stopped “working.”

If your strands feel dull or dry, try a clarifying treatment or deep conditioner to reset and refresh.
