Real Truth of Anti-Hair Fall Shampoos

As far as history goes, for whatever problem we have ever faced, people have always come up with a prospective solution– sometimes beyond. Same is true for the issue of hair fall and its counters– anti-hair fall shampoos. While there are hundreds of brands out there claiming to prevent further hair loss, there are still many who claim hair regrowth. But how often does a person looking for a hair loss solution see the result? Let’s get into the depth of this.

Shampoos Can Make Your Hair Fall Out

There is a general confusion spread in public about the usage of shampoos– numerous types of confusions. While some claim that usage of shampoos daily can lead to eventual hair loss, many profess that their brands will prevent hair-fall and even pave the way for hair restoration. Usually, people with receding hair go for solutions such as wigs or a hair patch, to help boost their confidence. Balding men and women ask questions whether washing their hair every day is going to make it fall out. Certain shampoo formulae can contribute to one’s acute hair-fall. In the grand scheme anything is possible, so never say never. Many of us play rather safe and go ahead with hair transplant or hair replacement instead of giving in to the pretentious gimmicks of the world of shampoo adverts

Cause of Male Pattern Hair Loss

Male pattern hair loss occurs when an altered form of testosterone gets in contact with the follicles of the scalp. The result is visibly thinner hair or hair with progressively decreasing diameter. But this is not absolute. People with better genetics have the gift of being able to resist the changes that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) has in store for them. There’s another factor that people consider before going ahead with the idea of transplant, which is ‘the right time’. People need to understand that rushing this process just because they have not noticed some unprecedented hair-fall or a receding hairline. This is a process, which upon recommendation, should be taken only when one is sure that their hairline has ultimately settled, that is to say, that the longer one waits, more permanent the surgery’s results shall remain.

What Is The Best Shampoo For Hair Regrowth?

Some of us are desperate for that dense, long hair maybe after a haircut that went south or if one just discovered that they are indeed balding, the latter being a more severe case. Almost 40% of women face issues of hair-loss. Incorporating certain ‘special’ shampoos, though, can help with hair regrowth to some extent. Yet it is essential to understand that like every other body process; hair growth is something which needs maintenance, a cycle that will be easily altered because of certain medications, hormonal imbalance, weight loss, and many other things. The shampoo we are looking for should nourish the scalp to be protein-rich– a nutrient that one needs to incorporate more of in their diet as well. Eating more lentils, eggs, meat certainly shall help. Some people even go ahead and apply eggs on their hair to see if it works, but these days it’s certainly a lot of trouble, more so when you are indeed only experimenting.

Hair Transplant Procedures and Opinions

Close to 30% of all males experience pattern baldness before they turn 30. Nonetheless, it is something which grows as people grow old. If specific statistics are to be believed, hair restoration procedures much like hair transplants have become quite popular, leading to about 60% jump since 2014.

Hair transplant practically involves shifting or transferring hair from an unaffected (hair-loss wise) region and placing it in the area where it is thinning or receding, which in most cases is the facial hair, even more specifically the head region. The people who have undergone the surgeries say that also though they get anaesthesia or numbing injections, the procedure can be long. The face may look swollen once it is done for some period of time.

Harmful Chemicals to Watch Out For

Certain heavy metals have been historically known for their adverse effects in case of hair-fall. Only recently it has come into light that not just elements like Aluminium or Mercury but also certain non-metals which may or may not be included in our dietary supplements or perhaps the prescription drugs. Even certain fungi like Podostroma cornu-damae have been known to leave similar effects. Alopecia, for instance, when consumed chronically at toxic levels regardless of whether intentionally or forcibly can most definitely lead to more advanced and detrimental hair loss conditions.

Many such chemicals are also being used aggressively in many shampoos out in the market. This is still confusing as to how brands market their products, telling people that their shampoo prevents further hair fall when it is precisely what will further accelerate the process. Most well known of these chemicals would be Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Sodium Chloride or table salt, natural fragrances, parabens, propylene glycol among various others. Sulphates which are responsible for the frothy lather, also found commonly in car-wash detergents, are the most harmful to the hair while chemical fragrances can lead to hormonal imbalance even in the short run. Table salt is something which might be harmless to look at but will leave your scalp dry and itchy and your hair all brittle. Ever been to a beach?

Like thousands of other things, many myths surround the effectiveness of shampoos in hair restoration to help with baldness, receding hair etc. While there are few brands that claim hair regrowth, it’s wildly unlikely that it will work in all genetic environments. While a hair patch is just a temporary hair loss solution, one should commit to some proper research, take expert advice in this matter and probably go ahead with a more permanent solution which would be a hair transplant surgery. Hair replacement is the modern science’s solution to one of humankind’s oldest problems, and it is time we embrace it with open arms.
