When it comes to beauty, there’s no shortage of advice—some helpful, some not so much. With so many skincare and hair care myths floating around, it’s easy to fall into routines that may not actually be benefiting you. Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa is here to set the record straight and help you get the most out of your beauty regimen. Let’s bust some common myths so you can make better choices for your skin and hair.
Myth 1: “Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturizer”
One of the most common skincare misconceptions is that people with oily skin should skip moisturizing. The truth? Oily skin needs hydration just as much as dry skin does. In fact, neglecting to moisturize can actually make your skin produce more oil to compensate for the dryness. Opt for a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer that hydrates without clogging pores.
At Colair, our experts often recommend customized facials that balance oil production while keeping the skin hydrated, ensuring a healthy glow without the grease.
Myth 2: “Trimming Hair Makes It Grow Faster”
A classic hair myth—many believe that frequent trims will speed up hair growth. The reality is that trimming doesn’t affect how fast your hair grows, as growth happens at the scalp. However, regular trims are essential to prevent split ends and breakage, which can make your hair appear thinner and shorter over time.
To keep your hair looking its best, Colair’s stylists can recommend the right cutting schedule based on your hair type and goals.
Myth 3: “Sunscreen Is Only Necessary in the Summer”
Sunscreen should be a year-round skincare staple. Harmful UV rays can damage your skin even on cloudy days or during winter months, leading to premature aging and increased risk of skin cancer. At Colair, we emphasize the importance of daily SPF to protect your skin from sun damage.
Our custom facials and advanced treatments, like chemical peels, can help repair the skin from past sun exposure, but consistent protection is your best defense.
Myth 4: “Washing Your Hair Every Day Is a Must”
While some people feel the need to wash their hair daily, over-washing can strip your scalp of its natural oils, leading to dryness and breakage. Your hair type should determine how often you wash it. People with curly or textured hair might only need to wash once or twice a week, while those with finer hair may prefer more frequent cleansing.
At Colair, our hair experts can help you understand the best washing routine for your hair type, and we offer a range of conditioning treatments to keep it nourished between washes.
Myth 5: “Expensive Products Work Better”
Price tags don’t always equal better results. It’s more about the ingredients and how they interact with your skin and hair. Some high-end products are worth the investment, but plenty of budget-friendly options can be just as effective.
Colair’s team can guide you toward products with the right active ingredients for your skin and hair, whether you’re using med spa treatments or at-home care.
Myth 6: “You Should Avoid Exfoliating If You Have Sensitive Skin”
Exfoliation is important for all skin types, even sensitive skin. The key is using a gentle method. Skipping exfoliation altogether can leave dead skin cells on the surface, leading to dullness and clogged pores.
At Colair, we offer dermaplaning and Diamondglow treatments, both of which exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin in a controlled, gentle way that’s safe for sensitive complexions.
Myth 7: “Botox Will Make You Look Frozen”
A lot of people worry that Botox will give them a stiff, unnatural look, but when done correctly, Botox simply smooths out fine lines without affecting your natural facial expressions. The key is working with a skilled professional, like the specialists at Colair, who know how to administer the right amount in the right areas. This ensures subtle, refreshed results, not a “frozen” face.
Myth 8: “Hair Extensions Will Damage Your Hair”
This is only true if extensions are applied incorrectly or are of poor quality. When done professionally, hair extensions can enhance your look without causing damage. At Colair, we offer methods like Hand tied wefts, Hot Fusion, I-Tip, Micro Beads, Tape-in, and Halo Couture Extensions that are designed to protect your natural hair while giving you the length or volume you desire.
Our stylists will help you choose the best method for your hair type and lifestyle.
Myth 9: “You Only Need Anti-Aging Treatments When You See Wrinkles”
Preventative care is key when it comes to anti-aging. Waiting until wrinkles and fine lines are fully visible can make it harder to reverse them. Incorporating treatments like Botox, fillers, and microneedling into your routine before deep wrinkles set in can help maintain smoother, firmer skin.
Colair’s med spa team provides consultations to help you start early and keep your skin looking its best.
Myth 10: “You Can’t Treat Scars or Hyperpigmentation”
Many people believe that scars or hyperpigmentation are permanent, but services like chemical peels, microneedling, and laser treatments can significantly reduce their appearance.
Colair specializes in these treatments, which can encourage collagen production and promote new, even-toned skin.
