Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo

Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo:

One easy-to-try option is a hair loss dandruff shampoo, specifically designed to increase the health of existing hair and to reduce the rate of hair loss in both men and women.

There are several sources to investigate specific shampoos, research studies which can be accessed to determine the effectiveness of many of these products. Professional resources include:
  • dermatologists and licensed cosmeticians who see and use hair loss conditioner frequently and have had the opportunity to observe the efficacy of a variety of them.
  • As well, an Internet “Google” search will provide hundreds of products, complete with testimony and small research studies.
It’s easy to get lost and confused when searching the hundreds of shampoos that are available. With some background knowledge of what has shown to be effective in larger, previous studies, you can make more intelligent choices about the anti-hair loss shampoo you choose to help your situation.

The great thing about shampoos – they are relatively inexpensive in this maze of hair loss/regrowth methods, so you can try lots of them without breaking your budget! Here are a few recommended ingredients:

1. Surfactants:
We all know that people feel good when their shampoos lather up nicely, right? Lather, however, is just for psychological effect. Somehow we believe that the more lather a shampoo produces, the cleaner our hair must be getting. LIES! The ingredient that causes lather is call a surfactant and does not have any cleaning properties. Other ingredients in shampoos actually do the cleaning. Surfactants are, however, pretty harsh, and, for someone who is experiencing more-than-normal hair loss, surfactants must be avoided at all cost. There are lots of shampoos out there without it –so ask your pharmacist for a good recommendation.

2. Herbal Ingredients:
The most notable herb with some success in the anti-hair loss shampoo industry is Saw Palmetto. Shampoos with this ingredient are certainly worth a try. Saw Palmetto seems to inhibit the production of DHT in men, and DHT causes hair follicles to shrink and close up.

3. Nettle and bay have also been helpful to some people. Shampoos which include these might help you too. It's worth a try.

4. Essential Oils:
These oils are concentrated ones which come from plants such as lavender. From ancient times, these have been used to stimulate healthy hair and to decrease the rate of hair loss. We know that we have much to learn from early medicine men and healers. Want another example?

5. Tea Tree Oil:
Many swear by this ingredient, and there are several brands of this on the market. Consumer awareness has made these shampoos to rise in popularity , you can find them at most any drug store as well as health product retailers. Did you know, tea tree oil has also been found to be effective in the prevention of head lice infestations.

There are no known studies to show that shampoos can actually result in regrowth of hair that is caused by the result of heredity and hormones. Early prevention is part of the cure, and experimenting with anti-hair loss shampoo during these early stages may help in reducing the rate of hair loss.
