Hair loss and scalp irritation can be frustrating and concerning, especially when they seem to appear without a clear cause. Surprisingly, some shampoos that are marketed as safe or beneficial might contain ingredients that can trigger irritation or even contribute to hair loss over time.

Tettey Rosemond, a TikToker with over 657K followers known for her skincare content, recently highlighted some seemingly harmless shampoos to steer clear of if you want to prevent hair loss and avoid scalp irritation. Keep reading to learn about a few of the popular brands she mentioned.
1. TRESemmé
One of the most notable products on her list is TRESemmé’s Silky & Smooth shampoo. She notes that this one contains “DMDM hydantoin, which is a chemical that releases formaldehyde during its use; it also causes hair loss and is linked to dermatitis.”
2. Garnier Ultimate Blends Creamy Nourishing Shampoo
Garnier’s Ultimate Blends Creamy Nourishing Shampoo “contains reactive compounds that can lead to allergic reactions with people with sensitive skin and also robs the hair of its moisture.”
3. Herbal Essences Deep Repair
While this shampoo’s packaging, marketing, and inclusion of Manuka honey may convince you that it’s safe to use, Rosemond says it “contains alcohol, sodium chloride, sodium laureate, sulfate, and parfum, which strips your hair and scalp of its natural oils.”
4. Pantene Pro-V Miracles
This shampoo is another popular one that includes healthy additions such as biotin, cactus extract, and argan oil. To further encourage consumers to buy this shampoo, the bottle says it can help “stop frizz before it starts” and is a “moisture balancing” option. Rosemond says to beware, as this product “contains harmful ingredients that causes hair loss and an itchy scalp.”
Some other shampoos that made it to her "avoid" list are Aussie Miracle Moist, Cantu Avocado Shampoo, ORS Olive Oil Shampoo, Monday Smooth Shampoo, John Frieda Frizz Immunity Shampoo, Garnier Ultimate Blends, Argan Oil Of Morocco Shampoo, Head & Shoulders Classic Clean, and L’Oreal Elvive Oil.
