For most people (both women and men), hair loss can be a devastating issue. The problem can be attributed to a wide variety of different causes. And the cause can play a key role in determining the treatment plan and prognosis of the problem. Topical conditioners or shampoos are some common choices to promote hair growth.
Nowadays, the choices of shampoo and conditioner to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth are overwhelming. But unfortunately, it is not always easy to find one that actually meets to your body needs.
There are some reviews on internet, but again unfortunately most of these reviews are not objective. However in general, there are some common issues you need to concern to make the best choice.
When they are associated with hair loss, actually there is no direct link between the kinds of shampoo and conditioner with hair loss. Generally, they only remove hair or hair follicle that has already fallen out from the scalp of your head [1].
But for hair growth, they can have a significant effect. Even there are some products that are claimed can help promote the faster rate of hair growth.
The use of conditioner for hair care is to protect your hair from drying out, add more shine, and to help allow you to comb your hair easier. As mentioned before, there are lots of brands to choose from. Even for one brand, you are offered with several types of conditioner.
The same goes for shampoo. This hair care product is commonly used to remove oil /sebum, dirt, or other products buildup on the scalp of your head.
While there are dozens of different brands, the ingredients on each bottle also can be confusing. But in fact, choosing the right ingredients is the key for the difference.
The type of your hair (whether it is dry, oily, colored, or damaged) is a crucial issue you need to concern to choose the right ingredients.
In general, when you are looking for shampoo and conditioner for hair growth, you are offered with 2 major goals:
- Are they used to only help promote the faster growth of the existing hairs?
- Or are they used to stimulate new hair growth on area with hair lost?!
There are some products to choose from. One that attracts attention is FAST conditioner and shampoo. The testimonial reviews of this product are mixed, but there are many people say that it works.
It stimulates hair growth with organic amino acids and other natural herbs. Though the company claims that this product can help promote the growth of hair follicles that are fallen through the use of cancer treatment, but it doesn’t work for both male and female pattern hair loss.
The pattern hair loss usually involves a genetic trait. Typically, it starts with receding hairline in men or thinning scalp (the uniform thinning scalp) in women. In men, it eventually will end with baldness. In women, it is commonly not associated with baldness – however it also can be life-altering condition that will no longer be ignored.
FAST conditioner and shampoo products are only effective to help improve growth of existing hair, because it is not purposed to stimulate new growth of hair [2].
According to a clinical trial, this product can help grow hair faster than usual. In general, it can provide hair growth as much as 2 inches in just for 30 days. This rate is higher than normal rate (double the usual rate). However, this can vary from person to person!
