There aren’t two women that have the same identical hair structure, size and shape. Some have curly hair, some have straight hair and others simply have a mixture of these two. Let’s not forget that women like to change their hair color each time they need a significant change in their lives so this is why some are blondes, redheads, brunettes or other strange colors. We are all different and we are proud of that.

Leaving these differences aside, we should admit that there is one common desire that will make us follow the strangest methods and legends: we all wish to have a shiny, natural and smooth hair. This is the reason we have created a list of the 7 most funny and strange myths that have appeared during the years. Let’s see if there is a slight piece of truth behind some of them. Here they are:

1.    The hair will grow thicker and faster if you cut it more often

The reality is that it grows with the same speed even if you cut it once in a while or as often as possible. In general, the hair tends to be thicker on the roots rather than at the ends, and this is why when you cut it you will have the impression of having more volume.

2.    Split ends may be repaired without cutting your hair

The only real treatment that can help you get rid of those nasty split ends is to use a really sharp scissors. It is true that there is a multitude of treatments and masks that do a great job protecting and keeping your hair healthy, but once it has been damaged, there are no treatments that can help.

3.    You have to wash your hair on a daily basis.

This actually depends on your hair texture. Some wash it daily and others believe that by doing so, it will only make their hair excessively dry. In general, the hair must be washed once you notice that he start losing his natural aspect. 

4. The hair mustn’t be washed more than once a week

Amazing how there can be 2 myths that are talking about the same things, yet they are so different. As it is mentioned above, you should wash your hair once you feel the need by using a shampoo that suits your hair type.

5.    If the hair has a tendency to get oily, you shouldn’t wash it often

If you follow this myth, you will have serious negative results. An oily hair will deteriorate if it is left unwashed for too long.

6.    When you brush your hair, you have to brush it 100 times

You should brush your hair until it becomes untangled and smooth. Although it is said that brushing helps spread the natural oil throughout the surface of the hair, it is recommended to use it as it is necessary.

7.    Staying on your head will prevent losing your hair

Seems stupid, right? The logic behind this myth is that by standing on your head, it will improve the blood circulation thus helping the hair grow. The reality is that hair needs so much more than a good quantity of blood, to keep growing. All you will be able to obtain by following this myth is a great gymnast ability.

5 Mistakes Made Cleaning your Skin

You haven’t yet managed to arrange your hair in the way a good hairstylist would do, but you firmly believe that you have become a master in cleaning your skin. Are you really that confident? I wouldn’t be that sure about it.
Generally, women aren’t as good as they like to think, but that doesn’t mean they do not understand and respect all the hygienic and face cleaning rules. Without even realizing, you may commit a few mistakes that may end up damaging your skin.

Here are the 5 most important mistakes:

1.    You do not use water

If you don’t, the question is how do you manage to remove your makeup? Only by using a cotton disk and makeup remover? The reality is that the best thing to do is have your face moist before starting to remove the makeup. Scientists say that all the makeup removing cosmetics and products was created to work together with water, because water is the ingredient that cleans the skin, while the makeup remover completes this action.

2.    Aggressive exfoliation

Do not fall into a trap by believing that a product is more efficient if it is extremely powerful. In reality, the effect could be quite the opposite, your face skin is extremely sensitive and rashes and irritations may appear. It is recommended to use a gentle product that has to be applied by using slow movements. Also, you shouldn’t exaggerate in applying different types of masks – not more than twice a week.

3.    You remove your makeup to fast

Do you feel it is enough to pass once on the surface of your skin with a cotton pad containing some makeup remover? Well, it’s not. The perfect method is to do this process twice because when you clean your face the first time, the makeup remover is designed to get into your skin and remove all the accumulated impurities , and the second time you use the cotton pad it will remove them completely. There is nothing more damaging and destroying for your skin complexion than applying a nutritive cream on the skin that hasn’t been perfectly cleaned.

4.    What’s best for your body, works for your face as well

You would be surprised to find out how may women wash their face with the soap that is specially designed for their hands. Others apply body cream instead of nutritive cream. Let’s take for example the hand soap. It contains products and detergents that remove any excess sebum, but it is not that recommended for the sensitive skin complexion that requires constant care and protection. The result? Dehydration, the appearance of spots and a strange sensation of being uncomfortable.

5.  You wash too often or too much

Do you wash your face more that twice a day and more than two minutes each time? That is the biggest mistake you can make. Washing too frequently will make your face, in time, to become dry and have irritation spots and acne. It is recommended that you wash your face once in the morning and once in the evening, and if you happen to sweat during the day, you should wash only with water.
