Seeing a drain full of hair after a morning shower is enough to ruin the day. Some hair fall is normal, while excessive is not and might be a sign that you need to take a closer look at how you are caring for your hair. It may not necessarily be due to what shampoo you are using, but how you are using it.
Most hair shampoo is formulated to prevent hair loss, so blaming hair loss on shampoo seems counterproductive to everything they claim and stand for. Read on to learn what ingredients to avoid in shampoos and how to care for your hair to prevent hair loss.
How to Prevent Hair Loss?
Several ingredients in shampoos can contribute to hair loss for some people, but not all. Hair type (oily, dry, or normal) is a contributing factor for what ingredients can potentially cause hair damage.
Some ingredients like sulphates are irritants and cause the scalp to become inflamed, high alcohol contents can dry out the hair and scalp, while mineral oil and 2-in-one shampoo/conditioner combination can cause build-up and weigh the hair down. All of these ingredients, if used frequently, may cause hair damage and hair fall.
Here’s what you need to avoid:
· Sulphates
· Sodium chloride
· Formaldehyde
· Propylene glycol
· Alcohol
· 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner
How Often Should You Shampoo Your Hair?
Washing your daily can also cause hair damage, even if you’re using the best hair care product designed for your specific hair type. For some hair types, especially dry hair, shampooing everyday can dry out the hair and cause damage.
To reap maximum benefits from shampooing, remember these key points.
· Dry Hair - Limit shampooing your hair to just twice a week.
· Oily hair - Shampoo daily or as needed.
· Normal hair - Shampoo as needed.
Using shampoos that are developed with gentle and natural ingredients can keep your hair healthy and prevent hair loss.
