Hair loss is a problem many people face, regardless of gender. Most don’t realize the cause may come from using the wrong hair products. This blog will guide you through selecting the right ones for your hair type to reduce breakage and strengthen your hair naturally.
Before picking any product, know your hair type:
● Oily scalp: Choose products that reduce oil and balance moisture
● Dry/flaky scalp: Go for moisturizing products
● Dry or split ends: Look for keratin or protein-based formulas
Understanding your hair type helps you select products that work better and avoid irritation.
The ingredient list is your best friend:
● Look for anti-hair loss ingredients like biotin, caffeine, or rosemary oil
● Avoid harsh detergents like SLS or SLES
● Stay away from products with high levels of alcohol or parabens
Gentle formulas reduce irritation and scalp itchiness:
● Avoid silicone-based products that can weigh hair down
● pH-balanced shampoos (around 5.5) are best for the scalp
● Condition only the ends, not the roots
● Choose treatments with keratin, proteins, or natural oils like argan oil
● Use hair serums after washing to lock in moisture
● 1-2 times per week is enough – no need for daily use
Even if not a product, it affects your hair directly:
● Avoid frequent blow-drying or heat styling
● Use a heat protectant if needed
● Air-dry your hair to reduce breakage
● Supplements like Biotin (B7), Vitamin E, and Zinc promote stronger hair
● Choose certified products with safety standards
● Drink plenty of water and get enough sleep for internal nourishment
Test and Observe
Everyone’s hair is different:
● Give a new product 2–4 weeks to show results
