Hair colouring is one of the most popular beauty choices among Indian women and men today. Whether it’s for covering greys, enhancing your natural tone, or experimenting with a bold fashion colour — the demand is growing. But so are the myths and fears around safety, hair damage, and long-term effects.
At Kapils Salon, we believe in informed beauty decisions. Here’s a breakdown of the most common hair colour myths — and the real truth behind them.
Myth 1: Hair Colouring Always Damages Your Hair
Fact: When done professionally, hair colouring is completely safe.
At Kapils Salon, we use salon-grade, ammonia-free, and nourishing colour formulas by trusted brands like L’Oréal. We also follow it with bond-building and deep-conditioning treatments to lock in moisture and shine.
Hair damage happens only with:
- Incorrect DIY methods
- Over-processing
- Using harsh, unbranded chemicals
Myth 2: Colouring Leads to Premature Greying
Fact: Hair colour does not change your natural hair cycle.
Premature greying is mostly influenced by:
- Genetics
- Stress
- Poor diet
- Hormonal imbalance
Hair colour only coats or penetrates the hair shaft — it doesn’t interfere with melanin production or alter your natural colour growth pattern.
Myth 3: You Shouldn’t Colour Hair Frequently
Fact: It depends on your hair type and the colour technique used.
Touch-ups or global colours every 4–6 weeks are absolutely safe when done by a professional. For highlights, balayage, or ombré styles, you can go even longer — 2 to 3 months — without a refresh.
Kapils Salon experts recommend a custom hair colour plan based on:
- Your hair’s health
- Colour choice
- Lifestyle habits
Myth 4: Coloured Hair Needs Daily Washing
Fact: In fact, the opposite is true.
Washing coloured hair too frequently can fade the colour faster. Instead:
- Wash hair 2–3 times a week
- Use sulphate-free, colour-protect shampoos
- Follow with hydrating masks or conditioners
Ask our stylists about post-colour care products for longer-lasting results.
Myth 5: Only Women Colour Their Hair
Fact: Hair colouring is for everyone.
Today, men, women, and even teens are opting for everything from grey blending to fashion highlights. At Kapils Salon, we offer:
Creative colour for all genders and ages
Men’s grey coverage
Global hair colour
Myth 6: Hair Colouring Causes Hair Fall
Fact: Hair fall is more often linked to stress, hormones, or improper care—not hair colour.
We perform a scalp and strand test before every colour service to make sure your hair is healthy and ready. Also, our aftercare rituals help strengthen coloured hair and reduce breakage.
Key Safety Tips from Kapils Salon Experts:
- Always get a patch/strand test before colouring
- Use sulphate-free, colour-protect haircare at home
- Avoid frequent bleaching or colour stripping
- Get your hair coloured by trained professionals
- Hydrate your hair with in-salon treatments monthly
