HAIR MYTHS

Trimming Makes Hair Grow Faster

One of the most common hair care myths is the persistent belief that trimming causes hair to grow faster and thicker. In short, there is no truth in this practice. Trimming, cutting, or shaving your hair may appear to make hair grow faster, but the effect is merely an illusion. Trimming bangs, spit ends, or shaggy locks often cause hair to appear healthier; which is likely the reason people mistakenly believe their hair is growing faster.

The rate at which your hair grows is determined largely by genetics, but there are things you can do to help your hair grow at its best. Your best bet is to eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables and to make sure you eat plenty of protein. Good sources of protein include eggs, fish, and other lean meats.

Placement Assistance

The Academy of Hair Design cannot guarantee a student employment. The Academy will however do all that is possible to assist students in finding employment upon graduation. Practical work experience is the final part of the course and is arranged for students in salons that are looking to hire new stylists.

The Academy students are the most sought after by area salons because of the extensive hands on experience they receive on live clientele while at the Academy, typically over 200 clients each. There can be 4 to 5 salons posted on the bulletin board at any one time looking for stylists.
