We’ve all heard them, those hair myths that get passed down like some kind of beauty gospel. Brush your hair 100 times a night for shine? Wash less to make it grow faster? Air drying is always better than heat styling? Turns out, a lot of what we’ve been told about hair care is total nonsense.

In this episode of Skin Deep & Unfiltered, we’re breaking down the biggest hair lies we wish would just disappear. From the truth about sulfates (spoiler: they’re not the enemy) to why washing your hair more might actually be the secret to a healthier scalp, we’re setting the record straight, no fluff, just facts.

We also get into why oiling your scalp the wrong way could be making things worse, the surprising reason your hair is thinning (hint: it’s not just genetics), and what actually works for repairing damage, because no, split ends cannot be reversed.

If you’ve ever felt confused by hair care advice or found yourself wondering if you’re actually helping or hurting your strands, this episode is for you.

What we discuss:

12:29 – Truth about sulfates – Are they really bad for your hair?

21:48 – Washing frequency – Does washing more actually improve scalp health?

26:48 – Oiling your scalp – Why doing it wrong could be making things worse.

35:28 – Hair thinning – The real reasons behind it (it's not just genetics).

40:07 – What actually works for repairing damage – Can split ends be reversed?

43:01 – Biotin and supplements – Do they actually improve hair growth?

51:41 – Genetics and hair loss – Is it really passed down from your mom’s side?

55:36 – Final takeaways and actionable tips for better hair health.
