Shampoos to strengthen and grow hair for women and men

Pharmacy shampoos for hair growth

Many people prefer to use pharmacy shampoos, fearing the numerous fakes on supermarket shelves. Let's look at individual hair growth products:

• "Brewer's yeast" is a shampoo from the Belarusian manufacturers of the "Secrets of Nature" trademark. Brewer's yeast has long been known for its beneficial effect on hair, as it is rich in minerals, vitamins, enzymes, and proteins. With its action, this complex of useful components improves metabolic processes, normalizes blood microcirculation, strengthens follicles, and accelerates hair growth. The detergent component of the product thoroughly cleanses dirt, fluffs up curls, makes them manageable and elastic;
• "Sulsena" - this shampoo, aimed at combating dandruff, has been successfully sold in the country's pharmacy network for decades. New forms of the product have also been developed: a cream for strengthening the roots and nourishing the hair along the entire length and vitaminized oil for strengthening the roots and hair growth. The latter has received many good reviews indicating its effectiveness. In addition to the composition for washing out dandruff and preventing its appearance, it contains castor and olive oil, extracts of many medicinal plants: chili pepper, sea buckthorn, chamomile, lavender, geranium. It is used on the principle of masks;
• "Burdock" shampoo - combats hair loss and activates hair growth. Enriched with bioactive components obtained by using natural burdock root extraction technologies, preserving their beneficial properties.

A pleasant herbal smell, medium consistency, a lot of foam make hair care comfortable, the results are also not long in coming, the hair after drying is voluminous, soft, shiny;
• "Active Mumiyo" - shampoo in a black bottle with a white galloping horse immediately attracts attention. It has a convenient dispenser that "controls" the flow of liquid contents of a slightly saturated brown color. In addition to the main ingredient mumiyo, it also contains other natural components: panthenol, almond oil. Mumiyo itself is widely used in traditional and alternative medicine, due to its healing composition. Its positive effect on the condition of the hair will be reflected in increased growth, reduced hair loss, a healthy and shiny appearance;
• "Tar" - this is the name under which various manufacturers produce shampoos, they use tar (birch tree resin), which is a well-known antiseptic. As a rule, tar is used in external ointments for the treatment of dermatological diseases and in cosmetology: soap and shampoo. The smell is determined by the main ingredient - not very pleasant, but the product regulates the synthesis of subcutaneous fat, fights dandruff, kills germs, stimulates hair growth. It should not be used every day, but it makes sense to use it once a week for 1-1.5 months for therapeutic purposes. After a three-month break, you can resort to it again;
• "With menthol" - such shampoos give a feeling of freshness, coolness. Undoubtedly, this element causes a rush of blood to the surface of the head, accelerates metabolism in the cells of the epidermis, the renewal processes occur faster - all this contributes to hair growth, improving the structure of the hair shaft. Such products are usually presented as universal, with any type of hair, but still they are better suited for oily hair. When using it for washing dry hair, it should be applied only to the hair roots. Many cosmetic brands develop similar shampoos, menthol is found in both liquid and solid shampoos.

Men's Shampoos for Hair Growth

Most manufacturers develop men's shampoos along with women's ones. It's not that men's hair is fundamentally different from women's, but it has a completely different aroma: stronger and more brutal. To give it such notes, citrus, herbal, woody aromas are used. The need to stimulate hair growth occurs in men even more often than in women, since many of them are prone to early baldness - bald spots appear in the temporal part of the head, bald spots on the back of the head, the hairline above the forehead moves away. Not all men are very concerned about this issue, so women's hair problems are more common. For men who are not indifferent to their appearance, in addition to the cosmetics described above, you can use the Alerana shampoo, which uses natural hair growth stimulants, Cutrin BIO + HAIR ENERGY, KRKA Fitoval, Schwarzkopf MEN DEEP EFFECT, etc. They also work well on women's hair, as the women themselves admit.

Shampoos for children for hair growth

The structure, thickness, and color of a child's hair are inherited from their parents, so is it worth and possible to influence these processes in childhood? Cosmetologists believe that if you use natural and safe products, you can speed up hair growth. One shampoo for hair growth is not enough if there is no balanced diet and the food lacks vitamins and minerals. When choosing a shampoo for children, you need to carefully study its composition. It should not contain parabens, lauryl, sodium laureth sulfate, bright dyes, strong odor, and the ingredients can only be natural. Burdock root, wheat germ, string, and chamomile have a beneficial effect on hair growth and condition. You can use shampoo once every 5-7 days, the rest of the time wash only with water. Of the proven products, we can recommend Johnson's Baby, "Eared Nanny", "My Sunshine".

Homemade Shampoos for Hair Growth

Some women do not trust store-bought shampoos, others, having tried everything, still do not find a product that meets all their requirements. In this case, homemade shampoos for hair growth, made with your own hands, will come to the rescue. Here you can show your imagination and experiment. Here are some possible recipes from the many that exist:

• homemade soap shampoo - baby soap is used as its base. It is grated using a grater (a quarter of a bar is enough) and diluted in a glass of hot water. Oils of various useful plants or homemade herbal decoctions are added as growth activators. You can find out which ones are best to use by reading the composition of similar shampoos on the label;
• DIY nettle shampoo - in summer, use fresh green nettles, for winter you will have to prepare them - dry them (just not in the sun) or buy them at a pharmacy. Pour a bunch of the plant (you can do it by eye, for external use you should not weigh it to the gram) with a liter of water and boil for half an hour over low heat. When using dry nettles, 1-1.5 tablespoons of the herb will go per glass of water. Pour boiling water over it, let it brew. The resulting infusion is added to a basin for washing with water along with a soap base. For rinsing, it is also used together with a small amount of vinegar;
• homemade soda shampoo - gently cleanses dirt, removes grease from hair. To see the result of such a home remedy, you need at least 2 weeks, you will not feel the effect right away. It is prepared by dissolving two spoons of soda in a glass of hot water. Stir until dissolved, apply to hair and massage, then rinse. Owners of long hair will find it more convenient to make a larger volume of solution in a basin and wash them by lowering them into it;
• shampoo with pepper for hair growth - in this case, the pepper's ability to burn and irritate the scalp is used, thereby providing a rush of blood and additional nutrition to the hair follicles. Red hot pepper is most often used for its preparation, but black peppercorns are also possible. First, an alcohol tincture is made from it: for 200 g of vodka, you will need 2 pods of crushed pepper. The mixture is placed in a dark place and infused for a week. Then it is added to the basic shampoo or soap solution in a ratio of 1:5. It is worth first applying to a small area of the head to monitor the reaction, and then applying to the entire surface;
• goat milk shampoo - there are store-bought shampoos of various brands that use goat milk for hair growth. If you have the opportunity to use fresh, then why not. Hair can benefit from cobalt in its composition, which improves metabolic processes, calcium, potassium, magnesium - everything that has a positive effect on the structure of the hair shaft and cellular renewal. The high fat content of milk will help moisturize and nourish the hair. To wash your hair, you need to add it to soapy water;
• mustard shampoo for hair growth - the effect of mustard powder is similar to the effect of red pepper on the scalp: it stimulates blood circulation, facilitates the penetration of nutrients into the upper layers of the skin, strengthens hair follicles. That is why in addition to 2 tablespoons of mustard powder added to soapy water, it is also good to add decoctions of various plants that have a beneficial effect on hair: sage, calendula, chamomile, burdock root, etc.

Hair growth masks

Hair will respond with thick, beautiful hair if you use not only shampoos for their care, but also other products that can fill them with health, protect them from the sun, cold, numerous chemical effects, and stimulate growth. Hair growth masks are exactly such a product. Almost every cosmetic line produces them. Cosmetologists advise using the same brand as the hair wash. At the same time, there are enough natural ingredients around us to prepare a mask without chemical additives, preservatives, and take into account the characteristics of your hair. The most common components as a basis for their preparation are oils: burdock, olive, castor, coconut. They are mixed with herbal decoctions, onions, yeast, rye bread, honey, mustard, kefir, red pepper, etc. can also be used. In order to see real hair growth, you need to apply a mask to them once or twice a week for several months. If it does not contain substances that cause burning, then the procedure can be carried out in the evenings and left on the hair overnight, covering the head with cellophane and a towel on top, otherwise it must be washed off after 15-20 minutes.

Vitamins for hair growth in shampoo

There is no doubt that vitamins are needed for intensive hair growth. When preparing homemade shampoos, you need to make sure that they contain the necessary components:

• Vitamin E - will provide your hair with nutrition and moisture;
• Vitamin A - eliminates dead skin particles and itching;
• vitamins B1, B6, B9, B12 - will improve the health of the skin and strengthen hair follicles;
• Vitamin PP - prevents hair loss, promotes growth.

The first time you just need to wash away any dirt from your hair, and the second time you need to leave the shampoo on your hair for 5-10 minutes.

Oils in shampoo for hair growth

We have already talked about adding oils to homemade shampoos for hair growth. But this can also be done with store-bought ones. They are selected depending on the hair type. So, for normal hair, you can use essential oils of orange, lavender, neroli, contained in bitter orange flowers. Dry hair will benefit from ylang-ylang, sandalwood, jasmine oil, and oily hair - bergamot, tea tree, juniper.

Vodka in shampoo for hair growth

When adding vodka to shampoo, you get something close to a lotion. The idea is to warm up the scalp with alcohol to increase blood flow to it, activate and speed up metabolic processes, strengthen the hair root in the follicle and stimulate its growth. Vodka is added to shampoo in a ratio of 1 to 2. This composition will appeal to those with oily hair, since it dries it out; with dry hair, it is best to give preference to another recipe.

Sulfate Free Shampoo for Hair Growth

Sulfates, which the manufacturer will notify with the following abbreviation on the label: ALS, ALES, SLS or SLES, are added to shampoos to effectively cleanse hair from grease, dandruff, other impurities, and also to give it volume. They lather well, are inexpensive, and easy to use. At the same time, they wash away the protective layer of the skin and the hair itself, are hyperallergenic, and lead to split ends. That is why many people resort to sulfate-free shampoo for hair growth, it should also be used during pregnancy. Since pregnant women often have a changing hair structure, they become drier, and the scalp is more sensitive, it is best to use organic shampoos with various vegetable oils, vitamins E, A, and silk proteins. You should also avoid phthalates, DEA (diethanolamine), propylene glycol, and formaldehyde in the composition.

[ 2 ]

Dosing and administration

Each product has instructions on the label indicating the composition and features of use. Shampoos can be suitable for daily or periodic use. There are special recommendations for the Horsepower shampoo. It should be diluted in water in a ratio of 1:10, then whip up a lather and apply to hair. It is not suitable for daily washing, but can be used once or twice a week in alternation with regular shampoos. It is also not used in hot weather or with a sharp change in climate.

Natural sulfate-free shampoos such as "Agafia's Bathhouse", "911", "Meitan", homemade shampoos with the addition of nourishing oils and herbal decoctions should not be washed off immediately, but left on the hair for a few minutes, because they act slowly and gently, and are poorly cleaned when washed off quickly. Medium-length hair should be washed twice.

When using solid shampoos, you need to run them through wet hair several times, then beat until foam forms, which you leave for about 5 minutes. Then rinse with water.

Medical professional products for accelerating hair growth are applied after several (3-4) washes with a regular product.

Contraindications

General contraindications for all shampoos may be intolerance to one or another of its components. Therefore, when faced with a new hair product, it is necessary to test it on a small area of skin. Doctors urge to be careful with such a popular shampoo as "Horse Power", because it contains certain components that are harmful to hair and skin, which are not washed out, but visually increase the volume, thereby satisfying the request. In addition, tar is often used in products for animals, which can harm dry hair.

Soda dries out hair, so it is better not to subject dyed, dry, brittle hair after a perm to this procedure.

People diagnosed with tachycardia should not use pepper infusion as an additive to shampoo or masks, as this may worsen the condition, or people with dermatological problems.

Pregnant women should not add alcohol or pepper to homemade shampoos, and it is better not to use Tar or Sulsena.

Side effects hair growth shampoo

In addition to the fact that an incorrectly selected shampoo can seriously damage your hair, leading to dryness, brittleness, and hair loss, there are also possible side effects: local irritation, itching, redness, seborrhea.

Storage conditions

Only for storing homemade shampoos you need a refrigerator, for store-bought ones you don’t need special conditions, you can keep them on a shelf in the bathroom at a temperature of +5-+25ºС in a closed state.

Shelf life

Each bottle has an expiration date on the label, which is usually quite long: from 2 to 5 years, like "Kapous". Homemade shampoos can be stored for no more than a week. A change in the usual smell and consistency will serve as a signal to pay attention to the date of manufacture and expiration date.

Rating of shampoos for hair growth

It is impossible to compile a rating of shampoos for hair growth without sociological research, which would cover a large group of people with different hair types, length, thickness, etc., or conduct a large-scale analysis of the sales volume of each product. Since such events were not conducted, the best effective shampoos for hair growth, according to individual consumer reviews, are presented above.

Reviews

There are no universal hair care products that would suit everyone equally, and the quality and composition also vary, so the reviews are all different. Often you come across such a phenomenon when the same shampoo is given from excellent characteristics to derogatory. Everything is individual and you need to try, having studied the composition, promises of the manufacturer, recommendations. The shampoo "Golden Silk" received a certain number of negative comments: the effect of use did not correspond to the promised.
