Stuck on what’s causing your hair to thin and fall out? Experts say the answer could be lurking in your hair products, specifically in your shampoo! This is because popular shampoo brands use harmful ingredients like sulfates and other irritating cleansing agents that strip your hair of its protective oils and proteins, which then results in hair fall.

Not sure which shampoo you should be using then? Dr. Michele J Farber, MD of Schweiger Dermatology Group in NYC, recommends Nioxin System 1 Cleanser Shampoo!

“Nioxin cleanser is good for general hair thinning,” Dr. Farber tells ELLE, noting that nine out of ten people that use Nioxin's treatment system regularly saw a profound thickening of their hair. 

 

Dr. Farber says that the shampoo's antioxidant-rich formula also makes it an excellent product for those with thinning strands. It uses the brand's Transactive Delivery System, which blends together powerful antioxidants, botanicals, vitamins, and purifying agents to help clean the hair. 

 

Other important ingredients that should always be in your shampoo for hair growth are vitamin E, ginseng, amino acids, and B-vitamins, according to Dr. Farber. This is because they help rebuild hair and reduce environmental damage.
