1. Hair loss shampoos very often contain chemicals that create a lather that is psychologically pleasing, but of no help for stopping hair loss. The lather is caused by what is called a surfactant and has nothing to do with cleansing the scalp or hair follicles that you are trying to treat. The product may be counter productive to your problem and have a drying effect on your scalp. So No. 1 is a popular ingredient in shampoos that you may not want.

2. Herbal ingredients with a long history of use such as Saw Palmetto may inhibit production of DHT. This compound in the blood stream increases with age and causes hair follicles to dry up, causing hair loss. You may have a heredity issue that is in the family.

3. Nettle and Bay are also herbs that have a history of use for healthy hair along with B vitamins, Zinc and other trace natural elements. The goal of achieving healthy hair is gained through good overall health of your body as well.

4. Essential oils such as Lavender and Tree Oil that were prescribed by the Greeks at the beginning of modern medicine for hair health and physical health as well. The shampoo that you may want to try should probably have these naturalistic wholesome ingredients in it.

5. The FDA approved ingredient Minoxidil that has been the break through development when combined with the above natural ingredients has a very high percentage of Stopping Hair Loss. The product comes as a shampoo that you rub in with your fingers and vitamin supplement pills that you take as well.
