b- Myth: Applying sunscreen to the scalp will cause hair to thin and fall out.

c-Myth: Brushing hair will help it grow?
Truth: The idea of brushing the hair 100 times a day to stimulate the scalp circulation is a fantasy. In fact, if you brush your hair too much, you may end up injuring and losing hair.
d-Myth: Braiding your hair at an exotic beach stand will cause your hair to fall out.
Truth: Short term braiding is fine; it is true, however, that certain hair styles, such as long term, tight corn-row braiding can permanently destroy follicles and cause hair loss. This is a preventable condition called traction alopecia. I would be more worried that the brushes and combs aren’t cleaned between clients.
e-Myth: Sexy summer activities cause less hair to fall out.
Truth: Too bad for this one, huh?!?
f-Myth: Blow drying wet hair after a day at the pool or beach will cause hair to fall out.
Truth: The truth is that there is no evidence that hair dryers cause thinning hair. However, too hot or too much drying may lead to brittle hair. You can save on electricity though!10.
