Hair loss
myths - stories that are NOT true or accurate about hair loss
Do not believe everything you hear, are told or believe
about hair loss. The medical reasons for hair
loss are known, but a real cure is not currently available.
Just a variety of claimed treatments that are false.
- frequent shampooing contributes to hair loss.
- hats and wigs cause hair loss.
- 100 strokes of the hair brush daily will create
healthier hair.
- permanent hair loss is caused by perms, colours and
other cosmetic treatments.
- women are expected to develop significant hair loss if
they are healthy.
- shaving one's head will cause the hair to grow back
thicker.
- standing on one's head will cause increased circulation
and thereby stimulate hair growth!
- dandruff causes permanent hair loss.
- there are cosmetic products that will cause the hair to
grow thicker and faster.

twenties.

These are only a few of the common myths heard by
physicians and other hair loss specialists on a daily basis.
The AHLC suggests that you first have your hair loss
diagnosed by a competent dermatologist who sees hair loss
patients on a regular basis. Once you know the diagnosis you
will have a better understanding of exactly which treatment
option may be best for you.
