One of the methods of treatment of hair loss is proper cosmetic care. To restore the density of hair, it is recommended to use special shampoos that improve the microcirculation and nutrition of hair follicles, stimulate their growth and protect curls from the negative impact of the environment.
When choosing a hair loss shampoo, you should follow these rules:
- Determine the type of hair (dry, oily, normal, mixed), their fragility.
- What functions shampoo should do: prevent baldness or stimulate growth.
- How quickly should the therapeutic effect come? The course of application of some drugs can range from several weeks to 1-2 years.
- The cost of cosmetics. For treatment it is better to choose professional means developed in special laboratories.
Effective cosmetics contain a complex of natural and synthetic ingredients that slow down the process of alopecia. The composition of shampoos can include such substances:
- Natural plant extracts.
- Vitamins and mineral elements.
- Amino acids and proteins.
- Biological active substances.
