Hair loss can be one
of the most frustrating and difficult occurrences for
men and women to deal with. For a person suffering from
hair loss, it can at some point in their lives, be a
devastating blow to their self-confidence.
Most people have no idea where to turn for help so they
end up wasting valuable time and money on products and
gimmicks that promise results but deliver nothing more
than additional frustration.
Harmonix Hair Solutions believes
that education is the single most important weapon to
have when battling hair loss.
Myths
abound when it comes to hair. Here are some Truths:
- Cutting or shaving the hair will have no effect on its rate
of growth.
- Shampooing the
hair will not affect hair loss one way or the other.
The hairs that fall out during shampooing are ready
to come out anyway.
- Daily or
twice daily shampooing is quite acceptable as long
as the shampoo is formulated for daily use. People
with oily scalps should shampoo at least once a day.
- Frequency of shampooing will not effect the rate of
production of sebum (oil) from the sebaceous glands.
- Sebum does
not cause hair loss. Hair follicles do not get blocked
up by oil
- Genetic hair
loss in men is inherited from either parent.
- It is normal
to lose 50-100 hairs from the head each day
- Each hair
on the head grows for about 3-5 years before being
shed
- 40 million
men and 20 million women suffer from hair loss
- Scalp hair
grows at a rate of about 1 cm (just under 1/2 an inch)
a month
- We each
have about 100,000 hairs on the scalp
