The biggest myth I hear from clients is “my hair isn’t growing” but what is actually happening is their hair can be brittle and prone to breakage and as a result is not getting any longer.

“If you don’t keep trimming your hair it won’t grow!” We need to remind clients hair grows from your roots, not your ends. That’s why maintaining a healthy, balanced scalp is so important in aiding hair growth. Nioxin products are incredible at not only cleansing but nourishing the scalp to encourage hair growth. Nioxin products can be prescribed by your stylist to suit your existing hair type and have a high success rate in aiding hair growth.

“A myth that I hear quite a bit is that washing your hair every day can ruin your hair’s condition. This is not true. Despite many people thinking that clean hair is flat and flyaway, clean hair, in fact, has more body because it has minimal oil weighing it down.”
