Choosing the right shampoo is an important step in dealing with hair loss. So, here are five ways to choose shampoo for hair loss, as summarized by briliobeauty.net from various sources, Sunday (7/4).
1. Understand your hair type.
The first thing that is quite important is to know your hair and scalp type. You can use a shampoo formulated for dry scalp that is also used on oily hair.
2. Do your research before buying shampoo.
Reporting from skinkraft.com, Sunday (7/4), don't be too fixated on the anti-hair loss shampoo label. Before buying, do research first to choose it. Not all shampoos can help treat hair loss. First, check the type of hair, problem, ingredients and pH level of the shampoo that is effective in treating hair loss.
3. Use shampoo containing natural ingredients.
For those of you who have hair loss, it is recommended that you avoid chemical ingredients. You can use shampoo that contains natural active ingredients. Try to avoid shampoos containing sodium lauryl sulfates, ammonium lauryl sulfate, myreth sulfate, siloxanes, lauryl alcohol derivatives, propylene glycyl, and olefin sulfonate.
Instead, use thuja occidentalis content. Apart from that, you can also use zinc, biotin, collagen, a mixture of gluco-omega, keratin, pumpkin seed oil, rosemary and green tea extract.
4. Proper shampoo pH level.
Another way is to know the right pH of shampoo. Ideally, shampoo for hair loss has a pH close to 6.5. This is due to the optimal pH of the scalp. So it doesn't make the scalp and hair dry and keeps it moist. It can even make hair shiny.
5. Use shampoo with little foam.
You need to know that the amount of foam in shampoo does not determine whether the product works or not. The less foam, the better. This is because the shampoo molecules absorb more dirt and oil.
