General Scalp And Hair Care Should Not Be Neglected

For General hair care consider anti-Hair Loss Shampoos: One easy-to-try option is a shampoo specifically designed to increase the health of existing hair and to reduce the rate of hair loss in both men and women.

My favorite general use shampoo is through Revivogen and here is why I recommend their shampoo. The Revivogen Bio-Cleansing Shampoo contains the same active ingredients found in their topical Scalp Therapy formulation and is designed to complement its activity—however it is ineffective when used alone.

To actually stop hair loss and regrow hair you will need their topical solution in conjunction with the shampoo. You cannot expect any shampoo to accomplish hair restoration as a stand alone treatment regardless of how good its formula is. If you are expecting this, then you will be wasting valuable time.

However that being said, their shampoo can provide a very valuable cog in the wheel when treating hair loss.

The primary function of a shampoo should be to gently cleanse your scalp while removing sebum and DHT from the scalp. The Revivogen shampoo does this quite effectively. It is important to remove this buildup so your topical hair growth stimulants can travel deep into the scalp where they become most effective. This specially designed shampoo contains essential bio active nutrients that nourish, moisturize and improve the hair and scalp condition, creating a healthy environment for hair growth and restoration.

There are several sources to investigate specific shampoos, and research studies which can be accessed to determine the effectiveness of many of these products. Good professional sources include dermatologists and licensed cosmeticians who see hair loss conditions frequently and have had the opportunity to observe the efficacy of a variety of shampoos.

When Considering other shampoos the most important benefit for you, however needs to center around removing DHT and Sebum buildup so your topical treatments can penetrate deep enough to be beneficial.

As well, an Internet “Google” search will provide hundreds of products, complete with testimony and small research studies. However, with Google search it’s easy to get confused when investigating the hundreds of shampoos available.

With some background knowledge of what has shown to be effective in larger, previous studies, however, you can make more intelligent choices about the shampoos you choose for experimentation. Furthermore, that is the great thing about shampoos – they are relatively inexpensive in this maze of hair loss/regrowth methods, so you can try lots of them without breaking your budget!

1. Surfactants: People feel good when their shampoos lather up nicely. Lather, however, is just for psychological effect. Somehow we believe that the more lather a shampoo produces, the cleaner our hair must be getting. Hogwash! The ingredient that causes lather is called a surfactant and does not have cleansing properties. Other ingredients in shampoos actually do the cleaning. Surfactants are, however, pretty harsh, and, for someone who is experiencing more-than-normal hair loss, surfactants should be avoided. There are lots of shampoos out there without it – try some.
2. Herbal Ingredients: The most notable herb with success in hair loss difficulty is Saw Palmetto. Shampoos with this ingredient are certainly worth a try. Saw Palmetto inhibits the production of DHT in men, for example, and DHT causes hair follicles to shrink and close up.
3. Nettle and bay have also been helpful to some people. Shampoos which include these might help you too.
4. Essential Oils: These oils are concentrated ones which come from plants such as lavender. From ancient times, these have been used to stimulate healthy hair and to decrease the rate of hair loss. We know that we have much to learn from early medicine men and healers. Perhaps this is another example.
5. Tea Tree Oil Shampoos Many swear by this ingredient, and there are several brands of this on the market. So popular are these shampoos, you can find them at most any drug store as well as health product retailers. As an aside, tea tree oil has also been found to be effective in the prevention of head lice infestations.

There are no definitive studies to show that shampoos by themselves can actually result in regrowth of hair that is caused by what we call “permanent” conditions, largely the result of heredity and hormones. However, early prevention is important, and experimenting with shampoos during these early stages may provide invaluable help in reducing the rate of loss.
