When I was 8 my grandmother told me that dying your hair would give you cancer. I believed this until I was 12.

When I was younger i used to rip my split ends apart. To get me to stop my dad told me that if I ripped up to the hair folical it would cause an infection and the infection would grow to my brain and kill me. I believed it until I was 15 and I saw someone doing it so I told them that and they laughed at me.

Until I was at least 14, I thought that men who were going bald but still had hair around the outside of their head shaved the middle part because they liked how it looked.

I used to believe that young boys grow hair in their mouth when they get older and their voices start to lower.
Because in the Dutch language we call that "to get a beard in your throat". I checked it with my cousin but I couldn't see any hair growing in the back of his mouth...

When I was little i shaved my legs (I was a hairy child). I used Nair, the cream that makes the hair fall off, my mom told me never to use it on my arms. I was fully convinced if i did, i would get sick and die. I finally got over it at 14
I used to believe eating the crusts from sandwiches would make my hair curly.
When I was a child my grandmother told me that if I chewed my hair I would get worms in my belly.
I stopped chewing my hair.

i used to believe that if you pulled out a hair and put it in the clothes dryer, a clone would come out

"Bowl cuts" were actually called Bull Cuts. My aunt wanted my little brother to have a bowl cut in her wedding, only I didn't realize it was the word "bowl" until I saw Dumb & Dumberer.

I used to believe moustaches were just really long nose hair

In order to get me to stop whistling, my grandmother told me that if I whistle, I will grow a mustache. I totally believed her up until the 5th grade.
Katrina
My mom told me that if I didn't brush the tangles from my hair, it would become a rat's nest. I thought she meant that I would have rats in my hair and they would have their babies there.
Kris
I believed that men didn't go bald because ther hair fell out or stopped growing but that the hair would grow through their head and come out of their ears and nose! Old bald men always had hairy ears and noses.

i used to believe that there were thousands of tiny elves in your head that hold on to each of your hair strands, and when you pull a hair out its tiny white elf gloves came with it. hence the little white spot on the bottom of a hair.

I thought that people wore hat in the winter because you lose the most heat through your head. (That's what they used to tell us.) Which makes perfect sense, because there are all those holes in your head where the hair comes out.

When I was a kid I took two showers becaue I thought my hair was a plant and needed the water to grow

when I was a little girl, I used to put my ponytail in my mouth and suck the hair (disgusting, I know). My older brothers wanted to make me stop, so they made up a story about a girl who had a horrible stomach ache so she had to go through a surgery. When the doctor opened up her stomach there was a ball of hair inside. They scared the hell out of me :)
IB
when i was little i thought that hair was forgotten thoughts and people with lots of hair were forgetful and my uncle who is bald never forgot anything i thought this til i was 12
I always thought that rubbing shampoo on someplace other than my hair would allow me to grow hair in that particular region
When I was younger (19 now) I used to believe eyebrows never grew back. So when I saw movies where people somehow got their eyebrows removed I was scared for them so I pretended it was fake and they didn't actually get removed.
