Hair Loss is something that almost all men encounter. For some, this happens in their 60s, but for others, it starts somewhere in their 20s. At that moment, you are naturally not waiting for it. You can always lose your wild hair later in life.
Hair Loss can have multiple causes. Heredity can play a role, but lifestyle, hormones, stress, wrong products, etc. also play a role. But once you have identified the cause, is there a remedy? Absolutely. There are quite a few Shampoos on the market that specialize in combating Hair Loss. Whether it works, what the effect is, and what the differences are with a normal Shampoo, we have of course researched for you!
What is the difference with a normal Shampoo?
Let's start with the purpose of these Shampoos. The purpose of a normal Shampoo is to clean your Hair. Dirt and excess oil are cleaned from your Hair. The purpose of a Shampoo against Hair Loss is that, besides cleaning your hair, it also provides your hair with the right nutrients to combat Hair Loss in men.
Normal Shampoos also contain nutrients. At least, if you use a natural and high-quality product. For example, volume Shampoos often contain certain proteins to make your hair look fuller and healthier. But a hair growth Shampoo will not only clean your Hair but also actually stimulate your hair growth and stop or at least slow down your Hair Loss. Therefore, really look for a Shampoo against Hair Loss. That way, your Hair will not only look fuller but will actually become fuller.
Which ingredients are important?
Yes, we are going to get to the point. The big question is of course what exactly is in a Shampoo against Hair Loss. The range is naturally growing and there are more and more studies that come with results. We will list the important ingredients for you. Always carefully filter the ingredient list of the products you want to buy!
- Minoxidil: promotes hair growth and combats Hair Loss.
- Trioxidil: strengthens the hair follicles.
- Nanoxidil: a molecule specially developed to combat Hair Loss.
- Baicapil: this combination of 3 plants increases cellular energy and activates follicle stem cells.
- Capixyl: improves ECM proteins for better hair anchoring resulting in fuller Hair.
- Redensyl: stimulates cell metabolism for better hair growth.
- Procapil: a combination of 3 active substances that have been clinically proven to stop Hair Loss and stimulate hair growth.
- Niacin: also known as vitamin B3, stimulates blood flow to your scalp allowing nutrients to reach the Hair better.
- Caffeine: counters DHT (a hormone that damages hair follicles) allowing your Hair to grow faster, longer, and stronger.
- DHT blockers: counter DHT making your hair healthier and stronger.
- Piroctone olamine: works antimicrobial. It fights fungi and bacteria, allowing your scalp to absorb nutrients.
- Procyanidin or ketoconazole: works against DHT and will therefore promote hair growth.
- Biotin: a vitamin involved in the growth processes of proteins that ensure healthy and strong Hair.
- Collagen: this protein provides structure to the blood vessels around the hair follicles and plays an important role in the formation of hair follicles.
- Ginseng: this ancient natural product promotes blood circulation, which ensures faster hair growth.
- Iron: helps red blood cells bring oxygen to your scalp. This promotes hair growth and inhibits Hair Loss.
Which ingredients should you avoid?
The ingredient list is extremely important when you are looking for good Shampoo against Hair Loss. Besides good ingredients, there are also ingredients that can actually cause Hair Loss. So always make sure to avoid the following ingredients!
- SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate): has a very aggressive effect and will dry out and damage your scalp. This sometimes leads to Hair Loss.
- Parabens: a collective name for a large group of chemical junk that can cause scalp problems (and eventually Hair Loss).
- Phthalates: disrupt the hormones that stimulate hair growth.
These chemical assassins damage your scalp and will strip important oils from your scalp. Hair growth can be affected and your scalp may become irritated. You definitely don't want this, so it's better to avoid them.
What effect does a Shampoo against Hair Loss have?
We can always be brief about that: it varies per person. It also depends on the cause of your Hair Loss. If it's your lifestyle, you should really address that first. Nevertheless, these Shampoos will help you, but it's mainly about the magnitude of the results. Having said that, it is scientifically proven that most of the ingredients mentioned above do indeed have an effect. Don't give up after trying just twice. For some ingredients, a minimum usage duration of 3 months is required! Good things take time. But regarding the General, you can expect the following:
- Hair Loss is inhibited or even stopped
- Scalp becomes healthier
- Hair becomes stronger and longer
- More hair starts to grow
- Thicker hair volume
