To prevent hair loss, three principles for choosing shampoo
1 Low irritation surfactant
The main function of shampoo is to clean, and "cleansing surfactants" are the soul of shampoo, removing grease and foreign matter attached to the scalp and hair. On the market, most shampoos add SLS and SLES chemical surfactants to strengthen the cleansing of the oily scalp and achieve a thoroughly clean and refreshing effect. However, it can easily lead to excessive cleansing, irritating and damaging the sebum membrane. Therefore, when choosing a hair loss shampoo, you should choose low-irritation surfactants, such as betaine, cocoa amphoteric, cocoalyl, sodium glutamate, etc., these are common Amino acid surfactant can effectively clean the scalp and hair, and is gentle and non-irritating.
2. Suitable PH value for scalp
There is a natural barrier on the outermost layer of the scalp, also known as the "sebum membrane." A healthy sebum membrane is weakly acidic with a pH value between 4.5 and 5.5, which can promote the balance of oil secretion; internally, it can help retain moisture and prevent inflammation. It can also reduce the occurrence of dandruff and external damage caused by pathogenic bacteria, ultraviolet rays and PM2.5. Choosing a hair loss shampoo that is too alkaline will make the scalp dry, itchy and repeatedly inflamed. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a shampoo with a pH value of 4.9-5.5 to maintain a good scalp environment.
3 Contains no irritating ingredients

Shampoos containing irritating ingredients such as petrochemical ingredients, paraben preservatives, alcohol, artificial flavors, artificial colors, and saponins should be avoided. Prioritize shampoos with simple ingredients to reduce the burden on your scalp.
