Woman's Hair Loss Advice

Ladies, is your hair slowly getting thinner? Maybe you hate shampooing because you find you're losing hair in the process?

You should consider using a female hair loss shampoos to gently nourish your scalp and reduce the amount of hair you are losing.

But when you're looking through the narrow aisles of CVS or RiteAid past hundreds of different-colored bottles, it's confusing. There are many shampoos out there that claim to reduce hair loss and each claims to be the best. Some may be formulated especially for females, some for males, some for dry hair, some for oily . . .  it's confusing.

First, pick a shampoo that organic. Gentle shampoos are natural, without harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances or colors. An organic shampoo will mostly consist of herbs. Hair loss reduction shampoos based on these ingredients are gentle, and nourish your scalp and hair follicles, helping to slow down hair loss.

You could simplify your life and use one that is recommended by other ladies, for example the extremely popular Nisim NewHair Biofactors shampoo or another one that a friend may recommend. Or you can narrow down your choices by examining ingredients.

Unfortunately, if you take a look at the list of ingredients in most shampoos, you'll see all kinds of gibberish. Most shampoos resemble a chemistry experiment gone bad, and a chemistry experiment they often are! You see, shampoo companies balance different levels and types of ingredients, both natural and artificial, to achieve specific hair results such as body, manageability, color and hair loss reduction. It doesn't take a genius to realize subjecting your scalp to a witches' brew of chemicals is probably not going to be good for your hair - or you! So which natural and gentle ingredients to look for in a hair loss shampoo is the question? A short list follows:

• Aloe Vera is a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial used in many shampoos, skin care products, and nutritional supplements.  It can help protect your hair, including from hair loss causing conditions like folliculitis. This is the same plant that is very often used on kitchen burns in some regions – you pinch off a piece of some aloe vera growing by your window, then apply the sap directly to the skin.

• Jojoba is a popular herb used in many shampoos that can reduce follicle blockages as well as help hair grow.

• Pomegranate is a fruit, and its extract contains a high level of concentrated antioxidants that help to protect the skin and hair. They have also been a popular fruit to eat for centuries in Mediterranean countries like Greece.

• Rosemary, the same herb you may cook with, stimulate hair follicle growth. It's also used for dandruff relief.

• Wheat Protein strengths and helps protect hair. Hair is itself made up of protein; applying wheat protein to hair makes it stronger.

• Lavender is a pleasant smelling herb that soothes and cleanses your scalp. Some people believe lavender can help improve memory.

• Chamomile. Besides being the health tea made famous by Peter Rabbit, chamomile is also great for hair, prevent breakages and split ends and restoring shine.

• Soy Protein, from soy beans, increases the thickness and volume of hair, making it less thin. It also helps with hair growth.

• Panthenol is a natural form of vitamin B5 which come from rice husks, used to moisturize and repair damaged hair.

The benefit of organic ingredients in female hair loss prevention shampoos is that these materials, in shampoo, remain in their original chemical state found in nature. Human bodies have had many hundreds of years to familiarize themselves with these compounds, just like human hair! As opposed to, say, Polysorbate 80, which has only been around a few decades, making it a total stranger to your body.

When searching through female hair loss shampoos, you probably can't find a 100% organic one, but shampoos that are mostly made from all-natural ingredients will be better for your hair and scalp than conventional chemical-laden shampoos. Nisim NewHair Biofactors shampoo is a great choice and works extremely well for a great many women. Give it a try, although we are all different and you may need to experiment with different  shampoos to find the one that works best for you.
