When it comes to hair care, everyone has an opinion. From the golden rules we all grew up hearing to your bestie’s TikTok hair hacks, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of hair myths. But at Bloom Hair Atelier, we believe in healthy, beautiful hair backed by science—not fiction! Let’s debunk some of the most common hair growth myths and set the record straight.
Myth 1: Trimming Your Hair Means You’re Cutting Your Growth Short
Raise your hand if you’ve ever hesitated to trim your hair because you thought it would make it shorter. Here’s the truth: regular trims are your hair’s best friend! Trimming helps to get rid of split ends, which prevents breakage. Think of it this way—would you rather have long, unhealthy hair that keeps snapping, or healthy, thriving strands that retain length over time? Exactly! A well-timed trim keeps your hair strong and growing beautifully.
Myth 2: The More Oil, the Healthier the Scalp
Scalp oiling is great—but too much of a good thing can backfire! Drenching your scalp in heavy oils daily can clog your scalp, leading to buildup, irritation, and even hair thinning. Instead, focus on a balanced hair routine:
- Cleanse your scalp regularly.
- Use lightweight oils sparingly to lock in moisture.
- Hydrate your strands with nourishing hair treatments.
Healthy hair starts with a clean, balanced scalp!
Myth 3: Washing Your Hair Too Often Will Make It Fall Out
We get it—some people fear wash days, thinking they’ll lose too much hair. But here’s the truth: hair naturally sheds daily! What you see in the shower is part of the normal shedding process. The real problem? Not washing your hair enough!
Product buildup, dirt, and sweat clog your scalp, stunting hair growth. Find a scalp-friendly routine that works for your hair type and keep that scalp fresh and clean.
Myth 4: Taking Down of your hair style doesn’t matter as much as the installation
We love getting a fresh new hairstyle but when it comes to taking down braids, weaves, or protective styles we can often be too rough which can cause major hair breakage. Yanking, rushing, or cutting corners can lead to hair loss—exactly what you don’t want!
Investing in a professional takedown (or at least detangling gently with the right products) will save your strands in the long run. Because what’s better—paying for a proper takedown or spending even more trying to fix the damage later?
