Good to know!
Do you increasingly notice that you are suffering from hair loss, but you have no idea why? It may depend on the products you use for your hair, such as shampoo or conditioner. That is precisely why She Finds tested several hair experts to find out which products are best to use against hair loss.
Biotin
First of all, it is important to use hair products that contain biotin (vitamin B7). Biotin is a very important nutrient. It is not surprising that many older people often take biotin as a supplement. Dermatologist Ghanima Abdullah says the following: “If you use a shampoo with biotin as the main ingredient, you can reap the benefits of this vitamin in several ways. Biotin is the ingredient to look for in shampoo if you want thicker, fuller and healthier hair.”
Palm leaves
The saw palmetto can also have a good effect on your hair. And no, we don’t mean that you should put palm leaves on your head. If leaves of this palm are included in your shampoo, this can be very beneficial in combating hair loss. Hair expert Rebecca Hilton says that it is a highly sought-after ingredient in the field of hair care. “The extract of the berries of the Serenoa Repens plant has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions, including hair loss,” Hilton said.
Conclusion
All in all, it is very important that you choose the right shampoo for your hair. Dermatologist Dr. Elaine Kung explains that it is crucial because ‘shampoos not only cleanse the scalp, but also prevent damage to the hair shaft’. Paying close attention to which ingredients are in shampoo is a must.
For example, she says that some shampoos have as many as thirty ingredients, while other shampoos only have four ingredients. The experts therefore all agree that you should always check whether it contains biotin and palm leaves. Do you still not completely trust it? Then talk to a doctor to see what works best for your locks.
