Myths about hair products
In recent years, the internet has brought us great opportunities. For those who like the subject hair, it has become much easier to search for information and exchange ideas with other people.
At the same time, it is increasingly common for there to be myths about hair. Information that appears out of nowhere, without any basis, and that is consolidated as if it really is were true.
Check out some of the most absurd appeals that are circulating around a few years ago:
1. Mayonnaise Brush
In fact, this topic can be dedicated to all the brushes with the craziest and most exotic names in Brazil. This started at the height of the formaldehyde progressive brush, a few good years ago. The mayonnaise brush, however, deserves to be highlighted! It's incredible to think that some people would actually be willing to apply mayonnaise in your own hair. Can you imagine what a beautiful paste this would turn into?
2. Moisturize with Formaldehyde
This myth would be funny if it weren't tragic. Many women who have suffered – and many still suffer – with the harmful effects of formaldehyde, after regretting, they ended up looking for alternatives to reverse the deplorable situation where their hair was. There is, yes, alternative for those who want to stop using formaldehyde and glyoxylic acid, but it is not apply even more formaldehyde. Reapplication may mask the effects for some time, but we know that the danger only increases. Severe cases may be irreversible.
3. Salt-Free Shampoo
Salt is used in the manufacture of conventional shampoo for provide greater foaming capacity and more precise control of its viscosity. Does not exist no scientific evidence that the salt in shampoo damages the hair, especially since its concentrations are normally low. In addition, salt has excellent solubility in water, being easily eliminated during the wash itself. It is worth remembering that the comparison of shampoo with salt and sea water is not valid, since the latter contains much more concentrated salt.
4. Alcohol-free gel
Alcohol is responsible for solubilize the oily phase of gel production. This means that without alcohol, any conventional gel loses a lot in moisturizing potential. Therefore, in addition to the fact that the presence of alcohol – in low concentration, it is worth remembering – does not negatively affect hair health, its absence still means a product without much quality, which does not provide any type of hydration to the hair.
5. Ammonia-Free Bleaching Powder
First of all, it is worth highlighting that ammonia is a gas. Therefore, ammonia is not in the bleaching powder. It only appears in the chemical reaction that occurs between the product and the hair, in a situation similar to that of ammonium thioglycolate. But, finally, the ammonia that is released in this reaction Does it pose any harm to your health or hair? The answer is not. It is enough that the application is done by a professional qualified for the procedure.
6. Hair Anabolic
This business of anabolic for hair it's a reissue of the old one bomb shampoo that appeared in Rio de Janeiro years ago. This is very serious. To begin with, these such bomb shampoo involve a mixture of any shampoo with Bepantol and Monovin A, a remedy of veterinary use for vitamin A replacement in debilitated animals. Monovin A does not promote any beneficial action on hair, nor greater growth. Other than that, the vitamin A poisoning can cause several problems, including anemia, fever, nausea, diarrhea, liver problems and loss of hair.
