Experts' opinions - do hair loss shampoos work?

.

Find out what experienced experts think about hair loss shampoos.

.

When dealing with hair loss problems, shampoos have an important function in caring for the scalp. A well-prepared skin will better accept the next care steps and will benefit from the active ingredients contained in the cosmetics. 

.
Shampoo cleanses the skin and hair, gets rid of dead and calloused skin. By itself, it does not prevent hair loss, but as a first step it will effectively prepare the skin for further care.

Shampoo alone will not stop hair loss, but it is a good complement to the whole therapy, which should include treatment with a specialist, supplementation of vitamin and mineral deficiencies and a change in hair care habits.

.
Shampoo plays a greater role in skin conditions. In fact, it is able to stop hair loss if the cause is seborrhoeic dermatitis, for example, because it directly treats the reason for hair loss.
.

Magdalena Kaniatrychologist

.
.
Shampoo alone will not immediately produce spectacular results. The causes of hair loss lie deeper and general treatment is usually needed. However, shampoos can effectively nourish the skin and roots and soothe irritation, supporting a treatment process based on working with a specialist. The condition of the scalp translates into the condition of the hair, so it is worth supporting with a good anti-hair loss product.

Not just shampoo: what to do if your hair is falling out

Hair in drains, on clothes and huge clumps on the brush. It's not natural. What should you do when you notice the first signs ofand hair loss and poor hair condition?

I have teamed up with my doctor to create a compendium on hair loss.

Blood tests

.

I asked Dr Witold Tomaszewski, MD, what steps to take when we notice a deterioration in the condition of our hair.

For a diagnosis, a thorough interview with the patient about his or her lifestyle, diet, amount of stress and blood test results are needed.

Blood tests that are worth taking are:

.
  • morphology (preferably dilated),
  • .
  • concentration of thyroid hormones (TSH, FT-3 and FT-4),
  • .
  • concentration of vitamin B12, iron, ferritin, transferrin and zinc,
  • .
.
The tests can be performed privately or on the National Health Service. Your GP can give you a referral for a blood count and thyroid hormones TSH, FT-3, FT-4, and an endocrinologist for vitamin B12, iron, ferritin, transferrin and zinc.

Diet

.

The health and appearance of our hair is primarily responsible for a properly balanced diet and the state of our body. The first and most important element regarding nutrition for hair health is to avoid starvation diets, which usually lead to deficiencies in protein, healthy fats, minerals and vitamins. 

Special emphasis should be placed on balancing the diet in terms of content: iron, zinc, selenium, copper, biotin (vitamin B7), nucleic acid (vitamin B3), cobalamin (vitamin B12), vitamins C and E, and essential fatty acids.

Too low or too high concentrations of these components in the blood can lead to hair loss and even alopecia.

Supplementation

.
.
When nutrient deficiencies occur, sometimes dietary enrichment alone is not enough, e.g. due to a major deficiency that needs to be quickly supplemented. After taking blood tests, it is worth consulting your doctor to start supplementation and to choose preparations tailored to your individual needs. We should supplement what we are deficient in, not in stock.

Visit to a trichologist

.

A trichologist is a specialist who diagnoses and treats problems related to the scalp and hair. Thanks to modern equipment, the trichologist can take a close look at the skin and hair, tailoring the treatment to the individual needs of the patient.

.
The most important tool in a trichologist's work is the trichoscope. This is a camera that allows you to see the scalp under the right magnification and light. Based on the image, the specialist is able to determine the condition of the scalp and hair and what type of alopecia or dermatosis the patient is struggling with.

FAQ

.
. What is best for hair loss?.

For hair loss, a holistic approach is best - supplementing the diet with vitamins (especially biotin, vitamin D, B vitamins), minerals (zinc, selenium, iron), omega acids, performing blood tests to rule out nutrient deficiencies and medical diagnosis.

It is also helpful to see a trichologist who will look at the scalp and select the best cosmetics for scalp care. It is also important to wash properly, blow dry, massage the scalp regularly and use hair growth rubs.

. Which drugstore shampoo to choose for hair loss?.

The best drugstore shampoo for hair loss must be tailored to your skin type and type of baldness or hair loss. The most popular drugstore shampoos are Dermedic Capilarte, Vichy Dercos Energising, Eucerin Dermocapillaire and cosmetics from the Radical Med range.

Remember that the key to stopping hair loss is treatment with a doctor, which includes examination, diagnosis, determining the most appropriate treatment and prevention against recurrence. The trichologist will complete the treatment with a selection of appropriate cosmetics.

. How to wash your hair so it doesn't fall out.

In order to keep hair from falling out, it is important to wash it with a shampoo that is selected for your skin and hair type. It is best to dilute it and gently distribute it over the scalp, massaging it into the skin. It is advisable to wash the hair twice to effectively cleanse the scalp and allow the hair to grow freely.

Hair should be dried by pressing the water out of the skin and hair, rather than rubbing with a towel. Do not brush or aggressively separate the hair, as when wet it is more susceptible to external damage. Blow-drying should be with a cool breeze, and tangled hair is best separated gently with your fingers.

. Do hair loss shampoos work?.

Yes, anti hair loss shampoos that have good formulations and are used early can effectively prevent or stop hair loss. Anti-hair loss shampoos are a good complement to the treatment of this condition.

Shampoos cleanse the scalp, enable hair growth and nourish the skin with valuable ingredients that moisturise, regenerate the cuticle and stimulate the hair bulb to grow.

. Why does hair fall out?.

The most common causes of hair loss are hormonal disorders (e.g., thyroid disorders, postpartum, menopause), scalp diseases, chronic diseases (e.g., RA, kidney disease, diabetes), stress, inappropriate diet poor in nutrients, inadequate hair care and styling.

Hair loss is also favoured by seasonality (more hair falls out in autumn and winter) and age - the older we are, the less hair we have. Certain medications (e.g. contraceptives, antidepressants, steroids) can also cause hair loss.

Hair loss is also caused by seasonality.

. What can be done about excessive hair loss?.

If your hair is falling out, see your GP who will order basic blood tests and check for deficiencies of vitamins and minerals. It is also helpful to see a trichologist to look at your scalp. Pay attention to your diet so that it is nourishing and to the hair cleansers you use.

. Can hair loss be stopped?.

Yes, hair loss can be stopped if the problem is addressed quickly and the cause diagnosed with the help of a doctor and a trichologist. Diagnosis, implementation of treatment, choice of cosmetics and proper hygiene can stop hair loss.

. Why does my hair fall out after washing it?.

Hair loss during shampooing is a natural phenomenon related to the cleansing of the scalp and the mechanical effect on the hair follicles. However, if you notice that the number of hairs that are left in your hands or in the drain is higher than usual, this is a signal to go to the doctor.

. When is hair loss a concern?.

Hair loss should be of concern when you notice that you find more hair than usual when washing, combing or on your pillow (about 50-100 hairs are lost per day). Hair loss is also accompanied by deterioration of the scalp, hair breakage, roughness and dryness.
