There is no shampoo that can reverse hair loss.
In this week’s podcast, consultant dermatologist Dr Archana Rao @dr_archana_r_rao explains that while using the right shampoo can help keep your scalp healthy, it cannot make your hair grow back, no matter what ingredients it contains.
Too many women spend hundreds of pounds on “menopause” hair products when what they really need is a proper medical assessment. Hair loss can be linked to hormones, iron deficiency, thyroid problems and other medical conditions. Treating the underlying cause is far more important than buying another bottle promising thicker hair.
If you’re worried about changes to your hair, don’t just change your shampoo. Find out why it’s happening. Hormone treatments can improve growth of hair in many women.
