I will debunk top 10 hair myths today once you listen to this you ll stop worrying about such silly things . Myth#1. Wearing a cap or helmet causes hair loss or baldness: NO, wearing a cap or helmet will not cause baldness or hair loss . there is no logic to it. people think that increased sweating or tight capon scalp can cause hair loss .
You see there are other areas of our body where the sweating is much more and you definitely wear tight clothes. for example your inner wears and because of sweat you are not Losing hair in the in that area right. Myth#2. Shaving the scalp or shaving the head or tonsuring can cause an increased amount of hair growth: NO, that will not result in any kind of hair growth because what we are doing here is we are just cutting the hair strand above the skin or hair shaft above the skin so the hair root from which new hair grows is not affected it is there inside the skin so neither the hair fall decreases nor the hair growth increases.Myth#3. This is really funny. Masturbation makes you bald: What is happening to people why do people think like this how can masturbation make somebody bald. See the good news for all of you is that masturbation will not cause any kind of baldness. There is no scientific evidence to suggest this. Actually, people think in this way. They think that an increased amount of testosterone causes hair loss which itself is wrong. Hair loss happens or baldness happens because of an increased amount of sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone(DHT), not testosterone. And it only happens in people who have a genetic predisposition and other factors also contributing to baldness. So NO, masturbation will not cause hairfall. It will not make you bald.Myth# 4. Increased amount of sweating can cause baldness: I think I answered this in very first myth .Myth#5. Dust and sunlight can cause baldness: No dust and sunlight can not cause any kind of baldness because what will happen if dust falls on your scalp, your hair may become little dirty and if the dirt gets deposited on the scalp then that dirt with germs can cause folliculitis and loss of few hair if left untreated but it will definitely not cause any kind of baldness.Myth#6: Usage of shampoo and oil can regrow hair: No, applying shampoos and applying oils cannot help thicker hair growth because, you apply shampoo only for a period of one minute or two minute or to the max 5 minutes and do you think in that 5 minutes that shampoo goes inside of your scalp and stimulate the hair roots and the blood supply there by causing hair growth. No. shampoo effectively cleans your scalp it can get rid of all the dust that is present on the scalp and unnecessary oil that is produced on the scalp . It can make your hair smooth that’s it . Coming to oil , there is no scientific evidence or scientific correlation that applying oil can cause hair growth yes whenever you apply hair oil if it is coupled with massage it can increase the blood supply and it can add in hair growth but does not prevent baldness.Find full article here in MEDIUM.COM.
