Sometimes, are you asking yourself, is shampoo causing your hair loss? When you\u2019re sudsing up your strands, you may think you\u2019re treating your scalp to a regular, necessary routine. Commercials tell us that, too; in fact, the common saying, \u201clather, rinse, repeat\u201d has become a household saying. But what if that shampoo and conditioner on the shelf is actually\u00a0contributing<\/em>to our pattern baldness problem?<\/p>\n

Is Shampoo Causing Hair Loss?<\/h2>\n

Some believe that many popular hair care products contain a laundry list of ingredients that can exacerbate the thinning of hair. Know what to look for next time you\u2019re shopping, and don\u2019t be afraid to question a company\u2019s marketing efforts. As it turns out, even the shampoos advertising themselves as gentle enough for a baby, can contain these culprits. Take \u201cNo More Tears,\u201d the Johnson & Johnson baby staple, for example; although gentle on the eyes, this formula (prior to a recent reformulation) contained a formaldehyde-releasing preservative used to prolong shelf life. While the amounts used weren\u2019t harmful to overall health, they caused an unwanted side effect. They were proven to lead to both hormonal imbalances and sparser scalps. \u00a0<\/sup>Most of us can\u2019t help but love the lather. After all, soap and suds are synonymous with cleanliness.<\/p>\n

But in recent years, sulfates have gotten a bad rap; not only for their effects on the environment, but also for their damage to dyed or delicate manes.\u00a0Sodium lauryl sulfate<\/strong>\u00a0y\u00a0ammonium lauryl sulfate<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the surfactants you\u2019ll find listed on the labels of most economical shampoos \u2013 are responsible for producing those large, lovely bubbles. But, did you know that they can cause damage to the fol\u00edculos capilares<\/a> and even lead to shedding? According to a study conducted by the Journal of the American College of Toxicology, these ingredients are considered irritants at levels of 2 percent. Take a moment to consider that most drugstore shampoos contain these ingredients in an excess of 20 percent.<\/p>\n

What\u00a0 Shampoo can Prevent Hair Loss?<\/sup><\/h2>\n

For most, a watery shampoo would be considered cheap or ineffective. To ensure a rich lather and the illusion of high quality, many brands beef up their formulas with\u00a0sodium chloride<\/strong>. This is the chemical name for table salt. If you\u2019ve ever taken a dunk in the ocean, you\u2019re probably familiar with that crunchy, dry feeling hair strands take on after a dip. Avoid shampoos containing sodium chloride, as they can lead to a parched, itchy scalp (the opposite of what you want when cleansing), plus the potential for hair loss. Before you consider skipping the suds altogether, contemplate the many viable options out there.<\/p>\n

Your\u00a0cirujano de trasplante capilar<\/a>\u00a0or dermatologist can recommend several alternatives that will thicken hair and prevent additional breakage. For starters,\u00a0skip the 2-in-1s<\/strong>; while they can be a real time-saver, they contain a host of ingredients that stay behind in residue long after you rinse. In turn, this can obstruct the growth of new hair.\u00a0<\/sup><\/p>\n

Many brands \u2013 including the cost-effective competitors, have hopped aboard the sulfate-free train, introducing lines of\u00a0paraben- and sulfate-free products<\/strong>\u00a0to help you grow healthier tresses. If you can, opt for a\u00a0certified organic\u00a0<\/strong>shampoo (which is typically tested to ensure purity). Take your hair care a step further by selecting a shampoo that combats breakage, while promoting regrowth. Shampoo Brands such as ArtNaturals and PureBiology contain a host of ingredients such as biotina<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0keratin<\/strong>, y\u00a0DHT blockers<\/strong> to stop thinning, breakage, and causing hair loss.<\/p>\n
