So, I guess I have to ask myself what that's worth. I spent over $160 on the set, which I still think is a NUTSO amount of $ to spend on haircare products, BUT it's helping my scalp condition. So, is it expensive, and maybe too expensive for some to afford on a regular basis? Yes, it is. It's not gone completely, but it's a pretty remarkable improvement considering all I'm doing is using these products, I'm on no other medication, or using any other Rx creams or ointments for it. The problem I've developed over the last 12 mos or so of the itchy, red rash on my scalp has been about 85% improved just from using this shampoo/conditioner for 2.5 months.

IDK, and I won't pretend that I understand the science of it. Maybe its the extra weight of the additional liquid in the larger helping gravity move it along. Both the shampoo and conditioner (while still thicker than your average store-bought brand) flow pretty freely. Also (and I don't know why it should make a difference but it does) the issue I had with the smaller sized bottle where the conditioner being so thick that I could barely get it out of the bottle does not seem to be an issue at all with the larger size bottles. It no longer feels like the product doesn't rinse out fully, or like it leaves a thick residue. Unlike the 1st few times I used it, my hair seems to be responding better after 2 mos. Additionally, cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson of BeautyStat says to look into ingredients like salicylic acid, which exfoliates the scalp and improve blood flow, and biotin, which nourishes the hair follicles, can also be beneficial in a hair growth shampoo.OK, so I bought my 2nd round of shampoo/conditioner, this time in the largest size. Schwieger also backs these ingredients as effective and cautions against using shampoo with parabens, sulfates, and fragrances, which can irritate hair and reduce moisture. Meanwhile, “over-the-counter growth shampoos typically contain amino acids and antioxidants to provide the components to rebuild hair as well as reduce damage and inflammation,” Schweiger adds.Īccording to Krupa Koestline, cosmetic chemist and founder of KKT Consultants, there are some ingredients to look for that have proven benefits in hair growth stimulation: zinc, keratin, procyanidin B2, biotin, ginseng, caffeine, peppermint, arginine, amino acids like cysteine and tyrosine, vegetable proteins from wheat or soy, and tri-copper peptides.

Prescription shampoos like ketoconazole are “anti-androgenetic,” which means they prevent two hormones associated with triggering hair loss from activating-testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-by “targeting hair growth at the site of the follicle and helping to interrupt the hormone cycle locally that causes thinning,” explains Dr.

When it comes to hair growth shampoo, you have two options: prescriptions or over-the-counter treatments. Alongside using hair growth vitamins and oils, hair loss shampoos (and conditioners) may actually help re-grow patchy sections, add density to thin hair, and prevent sparseness in the first place. But the good news is, if you’re among the millions of women who suffer from hair loss, there are ways to help treat it. Hair loss is more common than you think and can happen to anyone for a myriad of reasons-from genetics to stress to hot tools (like your everyday flat iron).
