It's a pretty good site. It shows a lot of different hairstyles. :-)

I honestly believed these two:

1. Cutting your hair makes it stronger or grow faster.

Bull winkle. Its hair, not a lawn. Exactly where this myth started is unknown, but is probably related to the observation of men's facial hair. There are different kinds of hair on your face and head. Hair on your head and facial hair have different properties. Cutting your hair will only make it shorter and hairs grows almost exactly half an inch per month, no matter what you do or take.

6. Pluck one gray hair and two grow back.

Folks, if this were true I would be pulling my hair out by the fist full. I need more hair and can always color the gray hair.

3. Brushing your hair is good for it.

To the contrary, brushing your hair is very very very bad for your hair and the leading contributor to split ends and hair breakage. By all means groom your hair, but once it is in place, STOP.

Comooon, who believed this...? Since I'm a kid I knew brushing your hair damaged them

Here's a tip. Do not brush your hair right after the shower. Let them dry first. :-)

oh ok...why?
ANyone knows whats so wrong about men using wemen shampoos? Because I u..a friend of mine is using Jacques Dessanges...

I don't think it matters if it's a man's or a woman's shampoo.

oh ok...why?

This actually refers to people with long hair. When brushing hair while it's wet, you're pulling out more hair than you do brushing them when dry.

Interesting... My bio professor told me that baldness is inherited from the mother's side for males. The gene is located on the sex chromosomes and the y chromosome doesn't contain genetic information. So, if men get the baldness gene, which is recessive btw, it's from the x chromosome they got from mom.

So if my mom isn't bald, I won't go bald either?

if your mom is balding, you'll have it for sure because that means she has two recessive genes, so you got one of them.
otherwise, just hope she didn't have one recessive one and if she did, that you didn't get it. Look at the men from her side... bald?
