How should you condition your hair if it’s greasy? Worried about chopping off your hair? Check out tips from Fekkai Melrose Place Stylist, David Pappalardo, as he busts the five hair myths he says drive him crazy!
MYTH 1: If you have greasy hair, skip conditioner.
False. Instead of skipping conditioner, use a lightweight conditioner (like Fekkai Full Blown Volume Foam Conditioner) and focus on the ends of the hair instead of the roots, where oil is produced and typically builds.
MYTH 2: You can’t make flat, fine hair full of body.
Of course any great hair stylist will be able to create this effect in a salon, but the right haircut will allow you to duplicate the look at home. For a full volume look, start with the right length and layers. Always incorporate a volumizing shampoo and avoid any heavy, cream-based styling products. Don’t be scared of a light back-combing, or teasing; this is the secret to most red carpet hair styles.
MYTH 3: Frequent trims make your hair grow faster.
Your hair grows at the same rate, however, frequent trims help avoid breakage and help your hair grow out in a healthy way.
MYTH 4: Men prefer long hair.
While some American men may prefer long hair, French men love a short haircut à la Audrey Tautou (from Amelie). In truth, a women’s confidence is what makes a woman beautiful – find what style feels good to YOU and wear it with confidence!
MYTH 5: Using the same shampoo can make hair look healthier.
Switching up your routine, like alternating between your regular shampoo and a clarifying shampoo (like Fekkai Apple Cider Shampoo used once a week) can help reduce buildup in your hair from styling products and environmental pollution.
