What is the best shampoo for hair loss?

In this article I tell you what to look for in a shampoo and what to avoid. I run through some of the shampoos that are specifically designed to fight hair loss and promote hair growth. Finally I conclude by showing you which shampoo is best, based on my research. Note that the shampoo you use EVERYDAY, may have some (positive or negative) impact after many years of use — so it’s worth reading this article carefully.

What to look for in a shampoo

If you want to fight hair loss and help your hair grow you want a shampoo that contains ingredients that improve circulation in the scalp. You also need a shampoo that cleanses your scalp well, otherwise pores may become blocked, leading to hair loss. These are the primary two concerns. After that you can start to look for shampoos containing nutrients that help feed your hair or energize cells in the scalp. Read on to learn which shampoos do this.

What to avoid in a shampoo

You need a shampoo that cleanses your scalp well, but you should avoid shampoos with harsh chemicals like “sodium laurl sulfate” — this is like a bleach, which after years of use may cause hair follicle miniaturization and may also be toxic if absorbed through your skin (though in small doses is safe). Take a look at this Dr. Mercola article for more information on toxic chemicals in shampoo.

My review of hair loss shampoos — what is the best shampoo for hair loss prevention and hair growth promotion?

I’ve listed below some of the hair loss shampoos available. Where I’ve listed the benefits and drawbacks for each shampoo I have listed ALL the benefits and ALL the drawbacks (as far as I can see). So if there’s only one benefit, there’s only one benefit — likewise with the drawbacks. If you want me to look at any other shampoos, let me know in the comments.
