55 Rampant Health Myths That Need to Die

Myth: You can train your hair to need less washing

‘This is not how the scalp works. Oil glands in the scalp produce oils that need to be distributed along the hair shaft (aka, by brushing), and the excess must be washed out with an oil-dissolving cleanser.
