When it comes to our hair we can best be described as proud lions showing off our manes. Billions of dollars are spent every year in hair care products alone, and when it comes to baldness no expense is spared. Losing your hair can be a hard pill to swallow because our hair becomes part of our identity, who we are, and how we see ourselves in the world.

Unfortunately, when it comes to hair loss there are a lot of half-truths and myths out there that tend to lead people seeking information astray. One of the biggest myths often portrayed to people losing hair is that clogged pores cause hair loss. Well, today we are going to put that myth to rest.

The clogged pores myth was most likely conceived by a salesman trying to sell a new shampoo to clean clogged pores and restore hair growth. The only thing clogged pores can cause is acne, not hair loss. If clogged pores were all there was to hair loss then a good shampooing every day would fix the problem. Then we would have to deal with another myth of hair loss “does washing your hair too much cause hair loss”, and no, it’s doesn’t.

For hundreds of years the hair-challenged have been trying to figure out the reasons for hair loss, and along the way many myths have come and gone. Most of these myths, like clogged pores, have merely been sales gimmicks to get you to buy hope in a bottle.

When it comes to reasons for hair loss there are only a few factors that come into play. Heredity, some medications, and an underlying medical condition top the list. So, take the myths for what they are and seek out the real information you need to get a better handle on why you might be losing your hair.
