From all the bottles available you see the bold claims, shiny packaging and celebrity endorsements on your shelves. But most of them are indistinguishable from the outside, and when you go on a blind hunt, you could be losing months of money and still be shedding. But how can you select one that performs, instead of one that markets?

You are not the only one who has been disappointed with a hair fall shampoo; it is not always that the hair fall shampoos do not work. Its most common cause is that the exact formula is not matched to the actual cause of the hair fall in the first place.

Too much hair loss can be caused by many different factors, including stress, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal changes, infections in the scalp, and extreme styling practices—and not all anti hair fall shampoos target the actual cause of your hair loss. Many people fall for the marketing hype and end up purchasing something that claims to provide "instant results" or "clinically proven regrowth," but after months of faithful use, they see no results.

This is because hair fall shampoos are designed to work on strengthening the hair shaft and helping the scalp to stay healthy, preventing hair from falling out or breaking. They are no overnight miracle growth serum and they do not work by themselves to cure underlying medical hair-loss problems. It's important to understand this distinction, as it can help you set realistic expectations and direct your attention towards products that will actually meet the expectations.

One of the other common errors is picking a shampoo just because of its price or brand name without taking into consideration the ingredients and if they can contribute to hair strength. Some are not particularly high in the actual concentration of active ingredients that benefit the scalp or follicle, but are loaded with fragrance, foaming agents and marketing terms such as "keratin-infused. Others resort to very strong detergents which are very effective in cleaning but as time passes, they also deteriorate the hair, thus interfering with the very objective of reducing hair fall.

Solution

Here are 7 things to look out for before purchasing your next bottle:

Ingredients: Use scientifically proven ingredients for the strengthening of hair, not fragrance and foam. The ingredients have a measurable effect over time, as opposed to using marketing jargon.

The best hair fall control shampoo focuses on the scalp as healthy roots will lead to less hair fall. So, if a shampoo is applied to the hair strand but not to the scalp, it is treating the symptom, not the cause.

Sulfate-free cleansing Harsh sulfates can over time weaken the hair by removing natural oils and proteins from the hair strand, while gentle cleansers will keep the hair safe and clean.

Strengthening claims with ingredient support should be aimed at combating hair fall at the root level – not superficially for ‘shiny hair’ that is lost after the first wash.

Compatibility with your hair type An anti hair fall shampoo is also required to match your hair type as treating hair fall without caring for the scalp type is not enough.

The ideal anti hair loss shampoo should be used on a consistent basis for about 8-12 weeks before you begin to see any improvement in your hair, as hair grows in cycles and stopping use after two weeks is not a fair test.

Rid of harmful additives: Parabens and heavy silicones that may temporarily make hair smoother but can harm it in the long run, or hinder the health of the scalp.

The best thing about the shampoo is that your habits complement its effectiveness, which is to say, you steer clear of tight hairstyles that pull and stress the hair, you limit heat styling and you are gentle when detangling wet hair (which is most vulnerable to damage and breakage, to be sure).

Cincinnus' Anti Hair Loss and Strengthen Shampoo ticks all the right boxes of a nourishing formula that will strengthen hair from its roots to tip and prevent hair fall when used regularly. It is a formula that is designed for real results over time as it concentrates on nourishment for the scalp and follicles, not what is just on the surface.
