Shampoo for Hair Growth

If you notice thinning hair every time you look in the mirror, you may be interested in exploring options for growing hair. There are many products on the market, including pills, leave-in treatments and shampoos. Here we will focus specifically on hair-growth shampoos.

  1. Ingredients

    • Some of the most common natural ingredients are amino acids, which can help hair grow and make it fuller, as well as B-complex vitamins. Prescription-strength shampoos also contain many natural ingredients that are recognized for promoting hair growth. Sometimes these have chemicals that may be harmful, so it is important to always read the ingredients before trying any health and beauty product.

    Effectiveness

    • The effectiveness of hair-growth shampoos will vary from person to person. You may need to combine multiple treatments to get the best result possible.

    Over-the-Counter Options

    • Over-the-counter options can range from simple shampoos, such as Mane and Tail, which is not promoted as a hair-growth treatment but contains many ingredients that people may find effective in increasing hair growth. The original purpose of this particular product was for cleaning horses' manes, but it is now commonly sold for people as well. Active ingredients include amino acids that may promote hair strength and, consequently, hair growth.

    In-Depth Treatments

    • One of the most common in-depth remedies to increase hair growth is Rogaine. While Rogaine is an overall system and treats the scalp, it also includes a special shampoo for the purpose of stopping and reversing hair loss. However, research has shown that if the use of Rogaine is discontinued, the new hair growth may fall out again.

    Side Effects

    • The most common side effect would probably be an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients, which could happen with shampoos for hair growth as well as with any other type of shampoo.
