Wide Range Of Hair Loss Shampoo Choices
Hair loss shampoo products are plentiful and varied. In a sense, this hair loss shampoo category is bewildering because of all the unfounded hair re-growth and hair loss prevention claims. It is a difficult task to sort through all the claims.
* Where Cleaning Helps Hair Re-Growth. Essentially, the primary purpose of hair loss shampoos is to clean the scalp, stimulate the hair follicles, which in turn increase blood flow to the hair follicles.
Shampoo products in this hair loss category contain different ingredients (chemicals, vitamins and minerals) designed to address various aspects of hair loss.
Some shampoos are only intended to make existing hair thicker and smoother. There is only very limited scientific evidence to suggest that a hair loss shampoo, by itself without any supplementary help, promotes hair re-growth.
* Combining Best Hair Loss Shampoo With Medications. Often, a doctor recommended hair loss program includes the FDA approved hair loss medication (Propecia) and a daily use of a medicated hair loss shampoo to clean the scalp.
* Avoid "Snake Oil" Scams. Scams for hair loss shampoos are abundant. There are literally hundreds of hair loss shampoo products that guarantee "miraculous", "all natural", "easy and fast" hair loss results.
On the opposite performance ledger, there are no scientifically proven over-the-counter (non-prescription) products, except minoxidil, that can prevent hair loss or promote hair re-growth.
Sophisticated pharmaceutical companies have spent vast sums of money to prevent hair loss and to promote the re-growth of hair. If a silver bullet for hair loss had been discovered in the form of a hair loss shampoo, it would have been promoted with heavy advertising.
Never pay in advance and do not be fooled by a "full refund" guarantee. If you cannot reach the product seller by telephone, there will be no chance of a refund.
* Consider The Hair Loss Shampoo Additive - Minoxidil. Minoxidil is an FDA approved medication that is included in the hair loss shampoo category because it is a topical application. There is some clinical evidence that minoxidil helps promote hair re-growth.
In one clinical study over 70% of the men taking minoxidil experienced some hair growth and 2 out 3 women also reported signs of hair re-growth.
Minoxidil was originally developed to treat high blood pressure as a vasodilator. It is not clear how minoxidil promotes hair growth since there is no apparent increase of blood flow to the scalp from using minoxidil. One study by L'Oreal suggests that minoxidil helps to activate PGHS 1 (prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase-1), which may help hair re-grow. Minoxidil is sold under the brand names Rogaine, Regaine and now a generic version called Headway.
* Reducing Dandruff May Impact Hair Loss. Etoconzole is an ingredient used in some hair loss shampoos (brand name Nizoral) that is medically proven to be effective against the organism (pityorosporum ovale) that causes dandruff.
When the layer of natural oil (sebum) on the scalp becomes crusted and dried out, the white scales characteristic of dandruff are shed. The scalp is also likely to be reddened and irritated. All these conditions have a detrimental effect on the health of the scalp's hair follicles. Curing the underlying cause of dandruff helps to promote healthier hair follicles.
