My name is Morgan McElhaney and I have been behind the chair for 11 years. Man, that feels really weird to say! Even though doing hair is something I love to do, there is way more to juggle in my life. I am also a wife, sister, friend, daughter and (my favorite title) a mother of two beautiful 5 year old, twin girls, Saylor and Sterling.

Being in the salon for as long as I have and loving anything beauty related I have been able to learn a lot of tips and tricks. These can be useful for many women. Honestly, an educated client is not just helpful for them but for stylist in general. So lets make each other’s life easier...

Is it a myth or is it true? What we should really know about our hair.

Myth 1: Hot tools can fade out toner and hair color. TRUE

All heating elements can fade your color/toner leaving you with dull hair and who wants that., Not me! This includes hot water, blow dryers and styling tools. So turn everything on a lower heat setting and be sure to be using a good heat protectant. My favorite is JOICO Ironclad, I spray every section of hair before I start styling.

Myth 2: Leaving purple shampoo on longer makes your hair lighter/brighter. Listen up blondes, this is FALSE.

Purple shampoo makes your hair ashier, cutting out most yellow tones. Even though I do recommend purple shampoo to most of my blondes, this is only used to help keep the blonde on the cool side. If your blonde is a “medium blonde” it’s staying a medium blonde until we lighten it again. Purple shampoo can’t do that for us. With that being said, I still think a good purple shampoo is bomb. Do people still say that or did I just date myself?!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (something else kids don’t know how to do thanks to emojis)

Myth 3: Cutting your hair makes your hair grow faster. True and False

Cutting your ends doesn’t technically make your hair grow longer but it keeps your split ends from spreading up your hair shaft. The more split ends you have the more your hair breaks off making it feel like it isn’t growing. Even if you are growing your hair out, you still need to be getting regular trims. It also gives the illusion that your hair is longer when the ends are fresh and healthy.

Myth 4: Dry shampoo can make your hair thin out. Sadly, true.

You should only be using dry shampoo if your hair is truly greasy at the scalp not just because you are on day 2 or 3 (or 4 or 5) of no washing. For example, I only wash my hair once every 7-10 days and I only use dry shampoo MAYBE the last 2 days. Dry shampoo can clog your hair follicles making it where your hair can’t grow anymore. To help with this, aim the dry shampoo right above your roots instead of aiming right at the scalp. With all that being said, don’t be scared of using it, just use with caution.
