We all know that one of the best ways to transform your look is new hair. Whether it’s a cut, a better style, or a whole new color, new hair basically equals a new you.

But you’ve probably noticed by now that your new haircut doesn’t get as much attention or criticism as your new hair color. Whether you’ve tried a new color to hide some pesky grays or just added a pop of color because it’s trendy, you’re likely to hear all sorts of hair color-related myths from loved ones showing concern.

We suggest you flick back your colored hair and correct them. Here’s what you need to know.

Myth No.1: You Color Once, You Have To Do It Over And Over Again

Reality: Well, if your hair color turned out THAT good and you want it over and over again, then sure! But it’s always going to be a choice. Just because you colored your hair once doesn’t mean you have to keep dyeing it over and over again. You can choose not to, and in time, you will get your original hair color back because new hair will grow out—it’s plain logic!

Myth No. 2: Hair Color Will Make Your Hair Go Grey Sooner

Reality: Again, this has no logic; in fact, it defies logic and science. Grey hair is genetic, and color has nothing to do with it. Your greys will grow out when the melanin no longer produces the color pigment. This could happen at any point in your life—with or without hair color.

Myth No. 3: Hair Color Can Be Damaging

Reality: This is not entirely true. Hair color isn’t always necessarily damaging for your hair; it can actually help your hair appear more voluminous. The idea is to use good quality hair colors. Then you also have to work on maintaining the color and your hair’s health with color-safe products, including suitable shampoos, conditioners, and serums.

Of course, hair coloring techniques also play a role in your hair’s health later on. An experienced hairstylist would know exactly which products to use and will also be able to advise you about the right aftercare products.
