I've always had thick hair that covers my entire head. I even had Beatles style bangs well into my 20s. As I grew older I had shorter haircuts and parted my hair to the side. More recently, an over zealous barber took too much off and revealed to me a pronounced widow's peak and recession of the hair line.
The part that's recessed (temples) still has some hairs, seems mostly like short baby hairs. Because of this and because there's no baldness on either side of my family, I am thinking (perhaps wishfully?) that shampoos and conditioners may make a difference. I've never used conditioner, and use basic off the shelf shampoo.
I have been noticing dandruff so I may definitely benefit from better hair care products, but I just have no idea what to use. A lot of the stuff advertised on the net seem like Snake Oil Sales material...Hair loss - do shampoos or conditioners make any difference?
hair loss can be caused by many different reasons! Find out the actual cause of hair loss! There are many causes of loss of hair such as stress, poor nutrition ,medications, thyroid dysfunctions, illness, fungal infections ,hormonal problems, to mention a few. but anyway you can always try and get real results.
year ago I suffered from hair loss and since hair loss is hereditary my dad suffered from it too and I started trying everything you can imagine to stop my hair loss. the things that really worked for me was:
1) Vitamin A - an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;
2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The 'B' vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;
3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;
4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);
5) also you should use some herbal treatment.in that case Provillus is a good product that helps prevent hair loss and it is an FDA approved product. I think it is very important!
It worked and still works for me!
I do not know if any pharmacies carry Provillus but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.provillus.com/?aid=749165
good luck!
not only my and my wife`s own personal experienceHair loss - do shampoos or conditioners make any difference?
nioxin (just google it) is a very popular high end salon shampoo that promotes volume and hair growth, of course men could use it too. Its only in the real big time salons and trade secret stores.
I heard somewheere..it could be a myth im not sure but I've heard it a lot..that pantine makes your hair fall out.
Nioxin shampoo are good. If that doesn't work try Nexxus Biotin shampoo for thinning hair. If that doesn't work try mane n' tail. I love mane n' tail. It makes your hair soft, strong, and grow so fast!

I'm not sure if my hair loss has to do with the fact that I use to use shampoos with sodium laureth sulfate?
I have recently been hearing that hair loss isn't always hereditary and that this chemical commonly found in shampoos also causes hair thinning and hair loss. Is this true? I also want to know that if I start using sulfate-free shampoos, if it could slow down the process?I'm not sure if my hair loss has to do with the fact that I use to use shampoos with sodium laureth sulfate?

Hi there!
Hair loss or thinning of hair can be attributed to any number of reasons, hereditary being the most common source for hair loss. I would recommend going to a doctor or specialist that can help determine why you are losing your hair if that's the case. All natural shampoos are of course better to use than chemical based. I would suggest you start using shampoos that help promote a healthy scalp and provide nourishment to your hair. Shampoos that contain zinc is good to use, head %26amp; shoulders is one of those but it also contains other chemicals as well, but many people use it to maintain their hair.
Hi, You are absolutely right. Hair loss is not always hereditary. It can also happen by a chemical called Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and its close relative Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) . I have done a lot of research on this topic because even i was looking for an SLES free shampoo. The day i stopped using my regular shampoo and started using ZULVERA herbal hair shampoo my hair loss has stopped.
Official site of Zulvera: http://www.herbalhairshampoo.com
You can find more information about this SLES free shampoo at http://golden-reviews.com/hairloss/
There are many different shampoos that have ridiculous ingredients in them to increase hair loss.
Your best bet is to use shampoos that focus on natural ingredients..
and also there's this company that focus on mainly treating hair loss only.. you should check it out!
Hey there robert ,
Yeah definetly watch out for non FDA approved ingredients
You could try Provillus ( http://budurl.com/ProvillusTreatment ) - worked well for me + it's FDA approved.
I have been using it for about 3 months now and I am definetly seeing results.
As far as i remember they do have a money back guarantee.. so in case it doesn't help , you'll get your money back.

Does shampooing(washing) your hair help prevent hair loss?
I do not shampoo my hair often cause it does not get oily/dirty fast... i may even leave it for month(s) before i shampoo it :P. sometimes when im stressed i pull out the hairs with the roots... but now im starting to worry if i will go bald when im older... (im 16, male). should i start shampooing my hair regularly if it helps prevent hair loss?
also any recommendations on how i could help myself not go bald in my future.Does shampooing(washing) your hair help prevent hair loss?
Shampooing will not necessarily prevent hair loss. It can help remove some build up, which can clog your follicles, but your biggest problem is pulling out your hair.
What you need is to seek out a professional that will help you deal with stress so that you will stop pulling out your hair. When I was stressed, I used to eat; now, I do things like go for walks, write short stories, play video games, swear (a lot)...anything to keep my mind off of the bad habits. That is the key--replace a bad habit with a good one. It will take a while, but at least you will save your hair.Does shampooing(washing) your hair help prevent hair loss?
No problem. Good luck. Report Abuse
Shampooing does not prevent hair loss, but you should wash your hair and body every day as it is healthy and sanitary. The most common type of hairloss is caused by a naturally occuring chemical that attacks the hair follicles on the top of your head and shrinks them. This can be slowed down with rogain and other types of medicines. Another way to permenantly lose your hair is by damaging the follicles in some way. Other things also cause temporary hair loss, but as long as the follicles do not get damaged that type of hair loss is treatable. The worst type of hair loss is obviously male pattern baldness, which can be slowed down but not reversed. The only way to treat that is with hair follicle transplantation. Ask about your grandfathers, if one of them was bald you may have the gene too. Good Luck
Well, first off, stop pulling your hair out! lol You can break that habit by finding some other way to deal with any stress. Also, I wouldn't imagine it is good for you to go months without washing your hair. If your hair doesn't get oily/dirty that quickly, start using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and use is every other day. Even if your hair doesn't get oily, it will at least make sure your scalp is kept clean and moisturized.

Can shampoos like Nioxin with DHT inhibitors help prevent or slow down hair loss?
And is it safe for use in people under 18?Can shampoos like Nioxin with DHT inhibitors help prevent or slow down hair loss?
yes! it is possible!!
anyway as we know - hair loss can be caused by many different reasons! There are many causes of loss of hair such as stress, poor nutrition ,medications, thyroid dysfunctions, illness, fungal infections, hormonal problems, to mention a few.

It is a good product that helps prevent hair loss and contains Biotin and the clinically tested ingredients approved by the FDA to help re-grow your hair.! I think it is very important!

Can my hair loss be caused by Head & Shoulders Shampoo?
I hav been using head %26amp; shoulders for about 2 month now. I started using this becuz i had dandruff. It's working on the dandruff really well. Yet, a few weeks later, i got sick and had a fever. After the fever, I hav been losing a lot of hair ever since. This is scaring me a lot. Every time a brush my hands thru my hair, at least 2 pieces come out, and im no even brushing that hard. I tried using the shampoo, Pantene I used to use, but I still list a lot of hair. Can anyone help me and giv me some advice? This is really scaring me.Can my hair loss be caused by Head %26amp; Shoulders Shampoo?
you losing your hair is regular. You actually lose about 150 a day. its natural and supposed to happen. calm down..breath..
And not talking showers daily can make it seem like your losing a lot in one time but its nothing to stress over.Can my hair loss be caused by Head %26amp; Shoulders Shampoo?
I have never heard of shampoos causing hair loss. Now hair that is abused by over combing when wet, over dryed with blow dryers etc. can make your hair brittle and break off more but not kill the growth center of the hair itself.
Pulling tightly on the hair consistently with hair styles like braids, corn rows, pig tails etc. can cause damage to the hair follicle itself and cause some permanent hair loss but not over all balding or large bald spots.
There are other causes of hair loss that are hereditary also.....look in your family and see if there is a pattern of thin hair or baldness that runs in your family.
I hope that this helped.
Probably not from the shampoo. If you get very sick, your hair can thin out. Try to make sure you are eating right and avoiding things that can damage your hair. (dyes, bleach, excessive heat, etc.) You lose hair every day, without noticing it. If it doesn't get better, and you are still concerned, you may want to ask your doctor about it.
Hair loss is natural in most people. I don't know how old you are, so forgive me, I don't mean to offend you. If you are middle aged, it is natural for your hair to thinnen out.
If you are a teen it is natural due to hormone levels.
If it is a new shampoo, you may just be adjusting to it.
Also, if your hair is thick, it is natural for your hair to become quite brittle if it needs cutting. I personally find that I loose LOTS when straightening, even though I use heat protection, and then some when I brush it.
It's completly natural to loose your hair, your body is getting rid of the unneeded things..
If you stress over it, you will loose more, as stress distrupts your hormone levels, which cause hair loss and also acne problems.
If you are really worried, see a hairdresser, or use a hair endurance shampoo... I know that H%26amp;S actually does an anti dandruff hair endurance?
Hope this helps, Ginger x
The hair loss may be if you use a lot of heat on your hair or if you dye your hair regulary
I was in the same situation, i am 14, believe me, if u r a teenager i think there is nothing to worry about, thats what the doctor said, it is normal, and yes i think head and shoulders may have a part in it!, i think it is too strong for hair to manage, especially young hair lyk mine, if u live in england u would be familar with the soap brand/shop LUSH, my mum bought me a hormonal hair soap shampoo from there calles NEW, its pink and contains natural things lyk cineamon, which is the stronest, i hve been using it for 3'4 months now and believe it does work gradually
dont be scared though lol
hope i helpedconcealer

Does Loreal shampoos cause hair loss?
please tell me the benefits of loreal shampoos because I`m thinking to use their shampoos,every day.Does Loreal shampoos cause hair loss?
NO, they do not cause hair loss. I have been using L'oreal hair care products as well as other products in the cosmetic line for years and I have never heard of anyone experiencing hair loss. I prefer L'oreal to any other brand even salon brands. If you are unsure, you may be able to contact L'oreal consultants through their website and address your concerns directly with them.Does Loreal shampoos cause hair loss?
I don't think they necessarily cause hair loss. If it causes damage to your hair it may cause it to break off or your ends to split. Breakage can appear to be hair loss. Honestly the best products to use are professional products. The drug store and grocery store products are not pH balanced where as the professional ones are.
Hair loss? No.
Loreal's shampoos are not bad.
you are ignorant, of course they don't cause hair loss
yes they do they made me go completely bald
no i luv loreal
