The Hair Loss Shampoo Breakthrough

With the invention of topical solutions for baldness, you would have thought that a hair loss shampoo would have been invented and on the market in a hurry. In reality, there was no such product yet on the market in the early 90's. Topical solutions for baldness were still only available by a prescription from your doctor. Luckily, there are more products on the market today that combat thinning hair and hair loss in different ways.

The most effective hair loss shampoo removes DHT from the hair and scalp. DHT stands for Dihydrotestosterone, an enzyme found on the skin and the scalp that reacts with the hormone testosterone to create hair loss. The shampoo washes away oil, dirt, sweat and excess sebum and neutralizes DHT on the hair and scalp, leaving a healthy environment for hair to re-grow.

Some hair loss shampoos are full of natural ingredients that you could ingest orally in the form of a supplement such as saw palmetto. In the shampoo, these ingredients can absorb into the scalp and work their magic in much the same way as they would if you ingested them and absorbed them into your bloodstream.

This raises the obvious question, is it better to purchase a hair loss shampoo or is it better to purchase the supplements and take those? The results will be different for everyone, so making a blanket endorsement of one or the other would be foolish. For some, hair loss shampoo will preferred. For some, hair loss dietary supplements will be preferred. Your own personal preference will be the deciding factor as to what will be "more effective".

It would probably be a good idea to invest in both methods. Using the hair loss shampoo in combination with a complimentary dietary supplement will probably provide a good means of fighting hair loss on both fronts. No, this does not mean that ingesting a product to excess or taking a ton of products all at one time will lead to better results. What it does mean is that adequate and sensible combinations of different methods may lead to a breakthrough.
