To address misconceptions such as 'heat protectants are unnecessary' or 'higher heat equals better results,' create Myth Buster prompts that ask members to vote or comment on what they've heard. Then, provide evidence-based explanations about heat protection, optimal temperature settings for different hair types, and safe usage practices. This approach educates members while encouraging healthy discussion about tools like flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers.
Use Myth Buster prompts to clarify the differences, pros, and cons between coloring techniques—such as 'Myth or Fact: Balayage damages hair more than traditional highlights.' Tailor questions to dispel confusion over maintenance, suitability for different hair textures, or required aftercare.

Absolutely—Myth Buster templates are ideal for addressing persistent myths like 'cutting stimulates hair growth.' Frame the prompt to invite discussion (e.g., 'Myth or Fact: Trimming your hair regularly will make it grow faster') and follow up with scientific explanations about hair biology and growth cycles. This helps clarify facts for both clients and aspiring stylists.
Encourage open dialogue by framing prompts neutrally, allowing stylists to share their experiences and expertise.

After members weigh in, share balanced, research-based information highlighting scenarios where each product type is beneficial. Acknowledge that professional opinions may vary based on client needs and hair types.
