It is no less than a tug of war when we talk about hair loss in most of us. We are constantly struggling to keep our hair game strong with zero issues to resolve. With the pace at which everyone is dealing with this situation, it seems inevitable for many of us. Anything that needs to be blamed for this is a lifestyle we own, the diet we adopt, genetics we own, or any other kind of stress. Losing hair in a single chunk can be frightening, and the only thing that comes to our mind on rescue is the anti-hair fall shampoo.
According to hair care experts, it is common to lose approximately 50-100 hair strands daily. However, the rise in the noticeable count can ultimately ruin your crown of glory. Before you treat with anti-hair fall shampoo, it is essential to figure out the underlying cause of unusual hair loss.
HERE’S HOW YOU SHOULD PICK THE IDEAL ANTI-HAIR FALL SHAMPOO:
With so many options to choose from in the store, one can easily get carried away by the options. All the products showcased, promising anti-hair fall ability, may not fulfil what it says. The result of shampoo on your hair totally depends on the type of hair you have, the types of scalp you have, and the pH level of the shampoo. Ensure to consider a few things before buying your anti-hair fall shampoo.
KNOW YOUR SCALP
It is better to know the scalp type before you buy shampoo. The shampoo goes deep into your scalp to evenly clean, and eliminate dirt, grime, grease, and other build-ups. It may happen that all the shampoos won’t suit your scalp or serve the purpose. A healthy scalp will never lead to hair fall. Having an oily or itchy scalp can be thoroughly cleansed with shampoo.
KNOW YOUR HAIR TYPE
Each of us has a different hair type, texture, and colour. Therefore, shampoos don’t work equally for all hair types. Two friends following a similar hair care routine can work, but choosing the same products might not work. Some shampoos won’t work on your scalp as effectively as they work for your friend.
Dry hair: Those with lifeless and dull hair should opt for an add-on step to the hair care routine by adding a moisturizer. Moisturizing frizzy and dry hair can save your hair from breakage.
Oily hair: Excessive sebum production on the scalp leads to oily hair. To get over the sticky effect, your hair may demand frequent wash. Using a strong shampoo to get rid of an oily scalp can work excellently for once, but doing it more often can destroy the shine of your hair as well. For such hair type, it is wiser to use a mild anti-dandruff shampoo that works great on keeping your hair balanced between excessive oily and dried scalp.
LOOK FOR INGREDIENTS
Before you shortlist your anti-hair fall shampoo in the store, ensure to look for the ingredients it contains. Many ingredients could be proven harmful and may contribute to hair loss in the future on rigorous use. Here are some of the ingredients you should try to avoid:
- Alcohol
- Mineral Oil and Petroleum
- Sulphates
- Sodium Chloride
- Formaldehyde
- Artificial Fragrances and Colours
GO NATURAL
As discussed above, it is always wiser to select the best anti-hair fall shampoo by reading its ingredients on the label. Moreover, you should pick plant-based or naturally derived shampoo to deal with such dreadful conditions of hair. For instance, using onion seed-formulated shampoo gives excellent results without any side effects. Moreover, such naturally formulated shampoos are usually free from chemicals (read the label for surety), and the good nutrients eventually cleanse the scalp to revamp.
There is recently a lot of buzz to pick dry shampoo as it has a similar ability to absorb the dirt, and grease from the scalp without washing it. People have been choosing this method profusely for the instant refreshing effect on their hair after a hectic day to avoid hair wash. Although we strongly recommend avoiding the use of dry shampoo regularly as it can have a severe impact on hair and scalp health.
