Yes or No

Cutting hair will make it grow faster.


No! Hair will grow at the same rate whether it is cut or not. However, trimming the tips of the hair every eight weeks will get rid of split ends and makes you hair growth smoother.



Hair oil nourishes hair & makes it grow longer, thicker & blacker.

This is not true. Nothing that is applied externally can nourish hair, or make it grow longer than it can.



Hair oil adds a shine & luster to hair.

Yes and no! The oil coats each shaft of hair, but it’s only the oil that is shining and not your hair. So it doesn’t mean that your hair is any healthier. In fact, oil tends to attract dust and dirt and becomes a breeding ground for infections. It is much better to use a shampoo and conditioner: this will not only keep the scalp clean but will also make your hair more manageable. Oil massages are good for your hair and they relax you. They also soothe the nerves, cool the brain and are good for the eyes. It's the massage that relaxes you and not the oil. It stimulates the circulation in the scalp and that’s what makes you feel relaxed. There’s no basis for any of the other claims.
