Hair Myth or Fact? 5 Myths Busted

hair myths busted

So, we have been lied to about our hair. Now, its time to set the record straight and bust these hair myths! Which hair myth have you been told?

Hair Myth 1: Hair conditioning products can help bring life back to your hair

hair myth

Does your hair look dead and lifeless? Well, that’s because it is! By the time your hair grows to your scalp, it’s dead. D-E-A-D. I’m sorry to break it to you but there is no magic product that will bring life back to your hair… but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep your hair looking great!

Healthy hair means how your hair looks and feels. The hair is protected by a tough layer called the cuticle which helps keep your hair moisturised and strong. Over time, that layer gets damaged by heat, sun and chemicals, making your hair feel rough and look dull.

Should you stop using your fave conditioner? No!

To keep your hair looking and feeling “healthy”, you should protect your hair as much as you can. Despite being dead AF, your hair can still absorb moisture and can swell up to 20 times its size! Hair creams, masks and oils  like ZALA’s Revive Me and Smooth Talker will help make your hair look and feel nourished! Moist hair is stronger, smoother and shinier.

Hair Myth 2: Hair products can repair split ends

If you go to the shops, you’ll find HEAPS of products which are made to reduce split ends, but are they cut out to do the job?

Scientists have used chemicals which work by temporarily binding together the ends of your hair. It can leave your hair feeling rough, tacky and can cause strands of different hairs to stick together. This also doesn’t last very long.

Keeping your hair moisturised and nourished will also prevent the ends of your hair from splitting and fraying.

Once your ends are split, there is no repairing. The best way to make them go away is to cut them off… Sorry. Don’t want to lose your length? No worries, ZALA’s range of hair extensions will be perfect for you!

Hair Myth 3: Cutting and trimming your hair regularly will make your hair grow faster

No. It won’t. Your hair grows from the roots and the rest of it is dead. The speed of your hair growth will depend on many things such as your genetics, diet, environment and other things. The best way to help your hair grow faster is by keeping a healthy diet and keeping your scalp healthy.

You should also get regular hair cuts and trims. It won’t help your hair grow faster but trimming damaged ends will help your hair look thicker and feel smoother. Trims are also great for getting rid of those nasty split ends and to prevent them from splitting any further.

Want longer, fuller hair now? Your best bet is ZALA hair extensions!

Hair Myth 4: Washing hair frequently keeps it cleaner

Nobody likes greasy, dirty and smelly hair but you might want to re-think before you lather up again!

Washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner will help get rid of oil and dirt but washing your hair too much will strip your hair of its important natural oils and proteins. This makes your hair to dry up and cause breakages. Using hair products all the time will leave a sticky residue on your scalp called ‘buildup’.

Don’t give up washing your hair altogether! How often should you wash your hair? This changes for everyone. Some people produce more oils in their hair than others. Wash your hair whenever it starts to feel greasy!

Remember to use sulfate and paraben free hair products like The ZALA hair care range when washing for healthier hair.

Hair Myth 5: Brushing your hair frequently is good for your hair

You might have heard that if you brush your hair with 100 strokes every day, your hair will become shiny, silky and full. Unfortunately, this myth can cause more harm than good.

We need to brush to avoid knotted and tangled hair. It keeps your hair smooth and glossy and will remove any strands of hair which have shed.

Brushing your hair massages your scalp and helps blood flow to your scalp which will nourish the roots of your hair, making your hair grow. Running a comb through all of your hair will help evenly spread your hairs natural oils all throughout your hair.

What’s so bad about brushing your hair?

Brushing your hair too much can actually be bad!  The bristles of your hair brush can strip the top layer of your hair. Excess hair brushing will build up friction in your hair which will make it appear to be less smooth and frizzy. Massaging your scalp too much with a hair brush can make your hair overly oily too!

Hair Myths Busted!

We have busted five of the most notorious hair myths.

Saturday Night Hairstyles

If you’re stepping into the weekend with great plans, you need great hair to match! From drinks with the girls, to dancing at the clubs, to relaxed dinners, we have the perfect Saturday night hairstyles ready for you!

Saturday Night Hairstyles

Saturday Night Hairstyles

Drinks with Friends

So you’re a little tired after a big week of work or study but still ready to share a couple of cocktails and laughs with the girls. It will probably be an early night so you want to get your hair done quick so you can spend more time enjoying yourself with your favourite friends. For nights like these, we love this half up fishtail braid!

To achieve this look follow the steps below:

  1. Take two even sections from the front of your hair to twist back and tie together.
  2. Thread this section over and through to create a twisted effect. Add hair from underneath and split into two sections to start your fishtail braid.
  3. Take small pieces from either side and wrap over to the middle.
  4. Repeat this process a third of the way down the hair and secure with an elastic.
  5. Gently pull sections of the braid to loosen and add volume.
  6. Repeat this process another third of the way down the hair.
  7. Optional: Finish the look by adding metal hair rings to conceal the elastics.

This look features our 24 inch Quadlux Clip In Hair Extensions in Dark Chocolate Brown #2.

Hitting the Club

If you have a dance fueled Saturday night planned, you need a fun hairstyle to match! We love this braided ponytail look for nights out dancing as it is super cute and will stay in place all night. This is definitely one of our favourite Saturday night hairstyles.

To achieve this look follow the steps below:

  1. Brush through your hair to ensure it’s tangle free and then create a clean centre parting.
  2. Section 2 inches on one side of your part and then take another small section from the front. Split this into three parts.
  3. Next, it’s time to start braiding. For this look, you’re going to want to do a french braid. The key to this technique is to pick up more hair from each side as you cross the outer sections over and into the middle.
  4. Repeat this all the way back until you reach the crown of your head, then continue on with a regular braid and secure in place with an elastic.
  5. Then, repeat steps 3 and 4, three more times, until you have 2 braids either side of your part.
  6. Gather all your hair into a ponytail and secure in place with an elastic (this can be a low, high or medium ponytail).
  7. Now for our favourite part – applying your ponytail extensions! This completely transforms your hair and brings the whole look together. Simply slide the clip into the base of your ponytail, wrap the small section around and pin in place.
  8. Finish the look with some boho curls and your hair is complete for a night on the town!

This look features our Ice Queen Platinum Blonde #60 – 22 inch Human Hair Ponytail.

Relaxing Dinner

Maybe you’re ready to relax this weekend and would rather keep in simple with a nice Saturday night dinner. For nights like these, we love this romantic half up twist look that is simple and easy to achieve.

  1. Apply your ZALA hair extensions for instant length, volume and thickness.
  2. Once the extensions have been applied use a medium sized curling want to add loose curls.
  3. At the crown area, take a medium sized section of hair from one side, twist back and pin into place. Repeat this on the other side, twisting back and pinning into place over the first piece.
  4. Repeat this process by taking more pieces from either side, twisting and altering on top. Continue until you’re happy with the results.

This look features our 20″ Honey Beach Highlights #18/613 9 piece set.
