Hey fam,
It’s time to talk about the tea 🍵 — or should we say, the lies we’ve been told about hair growth.
Between old-school salon advice, TikTok trends, and grandma’s remedies (love her though!), there’s a lot of confusion about what actually works to grow hair.
So let’s clear the air…
Here are 5 myths we’re leaving in the past:
🚫 Myth 1: Hair Oils Make Your Hair Grow
Truth: Oils don’t create growth — they support it by strengthening the hair you already have and feeding the scalp. The right oil (like our Nourishing Hair Oil) can reduce breakage and improve thickness, but growth starts in the follicle.
🚫 Myth 2: Cutting Your Hair Makes It Grow Faster
Truth: Hair grows from the root, not the ends. Regular trims help keep ends healthy and reduce breakage, but they don’t affect growth speed.
🚫 Myth 3: Protective Styles Will Always Protect Your Hair
Truth: If your scalp isn’t clean, your follicles are inflamed, or your styles are too tight, “protective” styles can actually cause more damage — especially traction alopecia.
🚫 Myth 4: If It’s Not Working in 2 Weeks, It’s Not Working
Truth: Real growth takes time. Remember the hair cycle? It can take 3–6 months to see true progress. Consistency is queen (or king)!
🚫 Myth 5: Men and Women Need Totally Different Products
Truth: Hair is hair. Hormones may affect how it grows or sheds, but the same natural ingredients — like MSM, Vitamin C, Rosemary, Fenugreek, and Aloe Ferox — nourish everyone’s scalp.
🌿 Featured Products That Work With Science, Not Against It:
🧴 Shampoo
Cleans the scalp, clears clogged follicles, and resets the foundation for healthy growth. Bonus: helps with dandruff and eczema too.
💧 GROW Hair Serum
A powerhouse for hair loss — including early stage CCCA and FFA. Think of it as your natural minoxidil, minus the side effects.
💆 Nourishing Hair Oil
Lightweight, deeply nourishing, and infused with growth-stimulating herbs.
💡 Hair Tip of the Week:
If you’re seeing more shedding than usual, don’t panic. It might be your body resetting and moving hair into a fresh growth cycle — especially if you’ve just started a new hair routine or supplement.
Stay patient. Stay consistent. And stay myth-free 😉
