Hair Product Mythbusters

[yuhlovevybz]

Have you ever heard things about certain products, ingredients, or techniques that steer you away from them? Well here's a thread where we can have product and hair gurus spill the truth. I'll start. Feel free to ask or answer!

Fact or myth: Herbal essences causes split ends.

Fact or myth: Coconut oil contributes to hair growth.

Fact or myth: Co-washing can gradually loosen hair texture.

Fact or myth: Using ethnic products will make your hair more coarse; using commercial (read: non-black/ethnic) products will do the opposite.

Fact or myth: Products with 'extracts' aren't really doing anything (i.e nettle extract, rosemary extract, contrary to nettle oil or rosemary oil.)

What I know want to know is:

FACT or MYTH: Pantene has wax in it that will make your hair fall out

^ Honestly that sounds like such a myth but I hear so many people say it that it makes me wonder what LHCF has to say.

That's another good one! Relaxed and natural used to be my ish back in the day, but now I give it the sideeye everytime I see it in the isle. I'm just waiting to hear otherwise so I can snatch it up again.
