However, if only out of curiosity sometimes there is a need to ask ourselves if these beauty secrets passed down from mother to daughter and among friends and in more than one occasion we have followed religiously have some scientific truth or are simply myths.
Myth # 1: Start the gray hair makes you get out more.
This is definitely just a myth. The hair becomes gray as part of a natural process of aging and some people experience before this process than others. What happens is that after we see the first cana our brain is predisposed to see gray hairs, which are felt with greater frequency.
Myth # 2: making hair grow thicker.

However, the same active ingredients of toothpaste that can heal a grain drying and also can irritate the skin of your face so it is better to use a cream for grains that toothpaste.
Myth # 6: Apply beer on the skin before sunbathing result in a golden tan.
