If you're losing hair, more than likely you've thought or have been told that it's linked to your genetics.
A lot of people are led to believe this and it's easy to see why.
More than likely you probably have a relative such as a parent who has lost their hair too.
You could even be losing your hair in the same pattern that they lost theirs.
So why isn't this genetic? Not to say that genetics and heredity don't play their parts in hair loss because they do.
Just not all thinning hair situations are linked to this.
You see can lose hair just because your follicles aren't getting the nutrients that they deserve.
You could be losing your hair from that bottle of shampoo you've been using from the drug store.
The list goes on and on.
So targeting your main causes is probably your biggest factor.
Like I mentioned before your shampoo could be a potential threat to your hair.
The reason is clear.
Some 90% of shampoo products out there contain a degreasing substance called sodium laureth sulphate.
You've probably not only saw this on various shampoo labels, but other haircare treatments like sprays and gels also contain it.
It works as a degreasing agent to help get rid of dirt and oil from the hair and scalp.
The bad news about sodium laureth sulphate is that it's quite harsh to your follicles.
It has a bad drying effect that literally strips hair out gradually with continued use.
Your best decision before attempting to use anything to treat your thinning hair would be to avoid shampoo that contain it.
Go for any that have green tea, tea tree oil, or even herbs like saw palmetto and nettle root.
