Hair loss affects a lot of people at some point in their life, but like many other signs of age and what we perceive as imperfections, it embarrasses us. Some treatments can help both men and women, but the right one depends on what is causing the loss.
One of the easiest options to try before you move on to something more complicated and expensive is a shampoo for hair loss. To help you out, we’ve already explored some of the best shampoos for hair loss by some of the best brands on the market.
What a Shampoo Can and Can't Do
Hair loss has many causes, including genetics, hormone changes, nutrient deficiencies and scalp infections. The American Academy of Dermatology says a board-certified dermatologist can diagnose the cause and may order tests.
No shampoo on this list is FDA-approved to regrow hair. Treatments with stronger evidence include minoxidil, sold without a prescription, and finasteride, an FDA-approved prescription drug for male pattern hair loss.
The shampoos below can keep your scalp clean and help hair look fuller. Treat their regrowth and "DHT-blocking" claims as marketing, not proof.
Art Naturals Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner Set
Our first shampoo for hair loss is a part of a set of a shampoo and conditioner hair loss kit.
Art Naturals markets the set for hair growth and for nourishing your scalp and hair.
The shampoo is gentle and color safe, and the company says it suits sensitive skin. It is marketed as a natural formula that is paraben and cruelty-free.
PURA D’OR Anti-Hair Loss Premium Organic Argan Oil Shampoo
Up next we have another all natural brand to help with your hair loss; PURA D’OR. The company says it uses natural preservatives.
It also contains a blend of 15 botanical ingredients the company calls DHT blockers. DHT is a hormone linked to pattern hair loss, but there's little evidence that these ingredients work in a rinse-off shampoo. It's free of parabens and SLS, cruelty-free and color safe.
This brand also knows that to have full, healthy hair you need to have a healthy scalp. So, they make their formula to moisturize your hair and scalp.
Vitamins Hair Loss Shampoo
Vitamins is a brand whose founders say they created this shampoo after their own hair loss. It's made for both men and women.
The formula focuses on scalp health. The company says it nourishes follicles, blocks DHT and supports anagen, the growth phase of hair; those claims haven't been shown in independent trials, so expect a cleaner scalp rather than regrowth.
Hair Loss and Hair Regrowth Shampoo by Majestic Pure
Majestic Pure makes another natural-style shampoo for both men and women. The company says it uses 14 DHT blockers and a blend of herbs; as with the others, independent evidence is lacking.
It has no parabens and is gluten free. It's color safe and gentle enough for daily use. The company suggests patch testing it on your arm first, which is good advice for any new product.
Flawless Botanics Organic Luxtherapy Hair Loss Shampoo
Flawless Botanics markets this shampoo for fuller, thicker, more manageable hair. Its listing names tea tree oil and nettle root extract along with ketoconazole.
Ketoconazole is an antifungal that dermatologists recommend for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis; it isn't a psoriasis treatment. The formula also includes beta-sitosterol, sold as a DHT blocker, though evidence for it in shampoo is limited.
Conclusion
Hair loss can be upsetting, and many causes are treatable once you know what they are. A gentle shampoo from this list can be part of your routine.
For sudden, patchy or heavy shedding, see a board-certified dermatologist before spending more on products.
