Does discoloration hurt? Myths and urban legends about hair

Today we talk about false myths. One of the mantras that we have always been told since we were little is that bleaching burns your hair. Then there’s also the one about hair, that after you shave it the first time you’ll have to do it forever, because more will grow back. But that’s another story. But let’s focus on hair bleaching.

Myths, false beliefs and urban legends we grew up with
How many times were we warned growing up about discoloration? We wouldn’t feel like denying the fact that sometimes this advice came from the same hairstylist.

In fact, you will have to do your best through the use of specific products capable of nourishing, thickening and polishing the hair.
