Shampoos With Parabens
Parabens are a common shampoo ingredient that are used as preservatives to lengthen the shelf life of shampoos. Unfortunately, they can wreak havoc on the health of your hair, leading to many issues, including hair loss.
Parabens like Methylparaben and Propylparaben are ingredients you should check for on your shampoo bottle.
Dr. Robert Dorin, Medical Director of True and Dorin Medical Group, explained to StyleCaster: "Parabens not only irritate the skin – which can make your scalp unhealthy – they can also affect your hormonal balance, which can result in hair loss."
With that in mind, sticking to paraben-free shampoos is a good idea to maintain your hair and scalp health.
