Haircare Myths — Debunked by Nature and Science
Share
When it comes to haircare, myths and old wives' tales are everywhere.
At A Thousand and One, we believe beauty rituals should be rooted in truth — honouring ancient traditions while embracing modern science.
Let’s break down some of the biggest haircare myths — and show you how nature and real research work hand in hand to nurture your hair from root to tip.
Myth 1: "Oiling Your Hair Clogs Your Scalp"
The Truth:
When using pure, natural oils like those in RootRevivalOil, oiling actually improves scalp health.
Rich botanical oils such as Rosemary, Jojoba, and Argan balance the scalp's natural oils, cleanse buildup, and promote better follicle function — without clogging pores when used correctly.
Pro Tip: Always massage gently and use a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil blend like RootRevivalOil.
Myth 2: "You Can't Grow Hair Faster Naturally"
The Truth:
While genetics play a role, certain natural ingredients can stimulate growth and strengthen the scalp environment.
Botanicals like Amla, Bhringraj, and Fenugreek (all found in RootRevivalOil) have been proven to improve scalp circulation, extend the hair growth phase, and reduce breakage — helping your hair reach its fullest potential, naturally.
Myth 3: "Hair Oils Make Hair Greasy and Heavy"
The Truth:
Not all oils are created equal.
Synthetic or mineral-heavy oils can feel greasy, but lightweight, nutrient-rich oils — like Sweet Almond, Rosemary, and Jojoba — absorb beautifully into the hair and scalp, restoring moisture without weighing hair down.
Pro Tip: Apply a small amount first and adjust based on your hair's texture and porosity.
Myth 4: "If You Have Oily Hair, You Shouldn't Oil It"
The Truth:
Skipping oiling because of an oily scalp can actually make things worse.
When the scalp is stripped of moisture (often from harsh shampoos), it can overproduce oil to compensate. Using natural oils like RootRevivalOil balances the scalp’s oil production, helping to regulate and calm excess oiliness over time.

Nature doesn’t lie. Neither do real results.
