posted November 1, 2008 - 1:05am![]()
Anybody experiencing hair loss can do something to prevent all of his or her hair from falling out and regrow thick and healthy hair. One easy-to-try option is a shampoo specifically designed to increase the health of existing hair and to reduce the rate of hair
loss in both men and women.
Good professional sources to investigate shampoos needed to do the job include dermatologists and licensed cosmeticians who see hair loss conditions daily and know what works and doesn't work. Also, an internet Google search will provide hundreds of products, complete with testimony and small research studies.
Here are some tips to help you decide on the best shampoo for hair loss and regrowth should you ever need this advice:
1. Surfactants: People feel good when their shampoos lather up nicely. Lather, however, is just for psychological effect. Somehow we believe that the more lather a shampoo produces, the cleaner our hair must be getting. Surfactants cause lather but does not have cleaning power. Other ingredients in the shampoo actually do the cleaning. Abd surfactants are harsh. They should be avoided. There are a lot of shampoos on the market without it.
2. Herbal Ingredients: The most notable herb with some success in hair loss difficulty is Saw Palmetto. Shampoos with this ingredient are certainly worth a try. Saw Palmetto seems to inhibit the production of DHT in men, for example, 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.
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. Perhaps this is another example.
5. Tea Tree Oil: Many swear by this ingredient, and there are several brands of this on the market. These shampoos are very popular. You can find them at most any drug store as well as health product retailers. Surprisingly, tea tree oil has also been found to be effective in the prevention of head lice infestations.
There are no definitive studies to show that shampoos can actually result in regrowth of hair that is caused by what we call “permanent” conditions, largely the result of heredity and hormones. However, early prevention is important, and experimenting with shampoos during these early stages may provide invaluable help in reducing the rate of loss.
