Hair loss and shampoo

Let us tell you that daily loss of 50 to 100 hairs is common. On the other hand, if the hair is falling more than this or coming out in bunches, then it can be a matter of concern. Shampoo can also cause hair fall. If bunches of hair are visible on the comb and towel after shampooing, then this situation should be taken seriously.

Although shampooing is necessary for hair, if the hair is falling after using a particular shampoo, then it can be changed. This could be due to the chemical ingredients present in the shampoo like sulfate and formaldehyde.

These shampoo ingredients are responsible for hair fall

The sulfates and formaldehyde present in shampoos can weaken the hair, but there is no research available in this regard. Actually, along with sulfates and formaldehyde, many other chemicals are also present in shampoos, which can damage the hair. For the time being, we'll only talk about sulfate and formaldehyde here -

Sulfates

The sulfates present in the shampoo give a lathering effect to the hair. At the same time, when sulfates start cleaning the hair, it makes the hair sensitive. Also, sulfates can irritate the scalp.

Sulfate-based shampoos can snatch the natural moisture or oil from the hair. Due to this, the roots of the hair start getting dry and damaged. In such a situation, when the roots of the hair are weak, then the hair starts breaking or falling. Sulphate makes hair dry and then causes hair fall. Therefore, for people who already have dry hair, using sulfate-rich shampoos can be harmful.
