The Truth About Hair Loss Treatment Shampoo

Many people that are experiencing hair thining,shedding and that have advanced hair loss are desperate about this situation.Many of them ,without consulting a dermatologist,are looking for all sorts of hair loss treatment solutions available over the counter today.Actually there are remarkable array of hair loss treatment shampoos, lotions,creams etc. that claims to :

• Accelerate hair growth
• Reduce the amount of DHT,responsible for male pattern baldness,in the hair follicles and scalps.
• Ad minerals such as amino acid which is an important mineral to your scalp
• Clean your scalp from dirt and oil to enable healthy hair to grow.
• Strengthen your already thinning hair.

All the supposed hair loss treatment shampoos available today are cosmetic items and to date there are none that have been approved by FDA.

It is also good to point out that these shampoos will work differently from person to person.Some may find good result but others won't as the cause of hair loss vary from one person to another.For instance, researchers claim that someone suffering from seborrheic dermatitis, that is now thought to play a minor role in male pattern baldness, the use of T/Gel shampoo (one of the many treatments for seb derm) has provided good results.

In another study, the use of 2% prescription strength Nizoral shampoo used 2 - 4 times weekly has produced hair growth results comparable to 2% minoxidil used once daily in a small group of group of test subjects.When similar test was done in a larger group,an increase in the shaft diameter was seen and also an increase in the number of hairs in the anagen (growth) was noted.

As far as the nizoral is concerned some people in hair loss forums have noticed that this shampoo is beneficial when used in combination with rogaine(minoxidil).In fact Nizoral is an antifungal shampoo and also acts as an adrenal androgen production inhibitor which make it a good shampoo for those suffering drom androgenetic alopecia.

In hairloss help forum good many people have asked for any good hair loss treatment shampoo.Many have answered that they have seen good result with:

• Nano Shampoo
• Nizoral 2% (Nizoral 1% is supposedly just as good)
• Revivogen Shampoo
• Tricomin Shampoo

But many people on answers.yahoo.com think that most of the hair loss treatment shampoos available for sale are scams and that these product sources are after your money and that none of them will help cure your hair loss.

So we can conclude that there are no effective shampoo to treat hair loss.The use of Nizoral is certainly worth to try to see if it helps you,but it certainly will not work for everybody.
