Everyone wants to have a crown of thick, luscious hair, but sadly, many of us don't! Premature hair loss or hair thinning is a common issue among women and its cause can be anything from stress to environmental aggressors, or a combination of them.
Another prime culprit is an unhealthy scalp where excess oil and dead skin cells clog the hair follicles, stunting hair growth and preventing the scalp from absorbing nutrients from hair products.
While there's no easy fix for hair loss, using the right shampoo that clarifies, balances and strengthens the scalp will give your hair the best chance to grow stronger and hang on longer.

A good anti-hair loss shampoo can do wonders, but don't put all your hopes on it alone. Having a healthy diet that promotes hair growth, de-stressing and getting a thorough purge with a scalp treatment are also key to maintaining a healthy scalp for thicker hair. And if all that doesn't make a difference, it might be something else entirely that you need to tackle like a health condition or hormonal changes.
