Real Hair Answers will dispel the myths about hair, hairstyles, and hairstylists and reveal the truth about hair—particularly about your own hair and why it is so hard to find a well-trained stylist.

Myth #1: All Black/African American hair is strong.

Truth: Every race has many different hair types, not just one. Some black people have strong hair, but the truth is that the majority do not.

Myth #2: Hairstylists are trained at beauty school.

Truth: Hair Stylists in the U.S. are not required to have any formal training outside of beauty school (Beauty School teaches health and safety, not high lighting, cutting, coloring, relaxing, etc). Work performed by a Hair Stylist with no formal training is like letting a doctor perform surgery right out of med school.
