Fallacies

Washing your hair too often can lead to hair loss.

Wrong: Today's shampoos are almost always mild and agreeable, they enable you to wash your hair on a daily basis.

 

Dyeing and perming your hair lead to hair loss.

Wrong: These types of chemical treatments only alter the structure of the hair above the scalp. They have no influence on the hair root. Incorrect use of these products may do damage there too, though. It is recommended to have these treatments done only by a hairdresser.Bald men are more potent.Wrong: Hair loss is very seldomly due to an excess of male hormones. In almost all cases there is a hypersensitivity of the hair root to the hormone DHT.

 

Hair growth can be enhanced by an improved diet.

Wrong: High doses of vitamins do not profit your hair. Should you suffer of a severe vitamin deficiency though, - something that should almost never happen with a balanced diet - a regimen of highly dosed vitamins may improve the state of your hair health.

 

A massage of the scalp helps keep off hair loss, as it enhances the blood circulation.

Wrong: The scalp is well circulated with blood by nature. Though a scalp massage may be very relaxing, it does nothing to alleviate hair loss.
