October 17, 2024 by Lisa Cupido
Hair shedding happens. It can happen when you’re experiencing intense bouts of stress, after you’ve been sick, or as the result of certain medications. It can commonly happen as a result of hormonal fluctuations that occur after giving birth or before and during menopause. And, of course, hair loss can be hereditary, a condition called Androgenetic alopecia.
Even though hair loss is nothing to be ashamed of or feel bad about, few of us would want to actively contribute to it ourselves. Yet, that’s what we could be doing (without even knowing it) when we use certain products that can make hair shedding and thinning worse.
We typically think about shampoo and conditioner ingredients when we talk about products that intensity hair issues like shedding. But the list of no’s is a little longer than that.
These common hair care products can cause serious damage, including thinning and hair loss. For healthier, stronger hair, reconsider how you’re using them, especially if you are finding yourself prone to thinning and breakage.
