There are many people that say, “everytime I shampoo, I lose my hair”. After seeing a bunch of hair fall out, you often think it is better not to shampoo. You feel that it is better to use a mild shampoo. These things can only give you a psychological satisfaction.
Your hair goes through many cycles, including growing, resting and shedding stages. After the resting stage, the hair will eventually shed. It has stopped being nourished and the hair follicle will lose its grip eventually, and cause hair loss. You can see textural changes and flyaway type hair when a person is suffering from hair loss due to telogen effluvium.
Even if you prolong the hair in their resting phase for a few days longer, by skipping shampoo for a day or two, you will lose hair anyway. If you skip a day, you will only cause the inevitable when you wash your hair.
For example, if I am undergoing shedding or genetic hairloss and my average shed is 175 per day. I might feel that why should I wash my hair and witness hair fall. So I may decide to shampoo it every alternate day. So on my day off I might lose about 50 hair. I am happy I spared so many strands from falling. However, if I shampoo on the next day after that, I might lose about 300 strands. I am back to 175 per day when you average it.
This is very important. The only exception to this if you have some sort of reaction or allergy to your shampoo or you have some scalp issue which is aggravated by the product you are using. In these cases, obviously putting the irritant on our head is not going to be a good idea.
The washing, massaging movements will remove the hair that was going to come out anyway. Washing regularly can help soothe inflammation. The only exception will be an allergic reaction or allergy to your shampoo or if you have some scalp issue.
Some tips:
One trick is to apply the product with an empty spray bottle. This allows for less manipulation to spread through your hair, although you might still have to use your fingers to free your scalp from sebum and dirt. Don't just rinse but also massage well before finally washing it.
Another trick is to use the conditioner before shampooing. Your hands can easily glide through your scalp, and you do not have to pull or tug to remove the product.
To cut the long story short:
It is not shampooing or washing hair that is the enemy, but whatever that is causing your hair loss in the first place. Find the cause of your hair loss. A dry or spray shampoo can be tempting, but you need to brush or comb it through anyway. It does not improve your scalp's health or remove DHT.
If the hair loss still persist, you can try laser light therapy or ultrasonic hair repair therapy.Laser light therapy is an FDA approved hair loss treatment.
