Shampoo alone doesn't treat hair loss — but the wrong shampoo may worsen the problem. Choosing the right product is part of a comprehensive care plan.
Shampoo Selection Tips:
- Avoid SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate): Harsh foaming agent drying scalp and weakening hair. Choose Sulfate-free shampoo.
- Look for beneficial ingredients: Ketoconazole 1-2% (antifungal that reduces DHT locally). Caffeine (stimulates follicle). Saw Palmetto (natural DHT blocker). Biotin and zinc. Tea tree oil (anti-inflammatory).
- Avoid over-washing: Twice a week is enough — daily washing dries scalp.
- Lukewarm water: Not hot — heat weakens hair.
- Gentle drying: Don't rub — pat with towel.
Helpful Additional Products:
- Light conditioner on ends only (not scalp).
- Heat protection serum if using dryer.
- Argan or coconut oil once weekly as mask.
