Shampoo Hair Loss Myth

Hair loss occurs when your hair follicle stops producing hair for one reason or another, and there are plenty of reasons why this happens. However, when you wash your hair, all your are doing is washing out the hair that your follicles have already given up. If you were to never wash your hair, all that would happen is you would have a lot more loose strands of hair on your head, but they would not be attached or growing.

Washing your hair too much can of course lead to a dry scalp or some light irritation, which should be avoided. I personally do not wash my hair every single day, but that’s because I don’t want my hair or scalp to get too dry. I know that washing every day does not make me more bald.

If you are currently avoiding washing your hair because you don’t want to go bald, I just want to let you know that going bald is not cool, but having a greasy, half-bald head is even less cool. Wash whatever hair you have and find a different product to help with h hair loss.

I know there is probably someone out there that claims they sleep upside down every night and now have a full head of hair whereas they used to be incredibly bald or at least headed that way. The bottom line, though, is that if a real clinical trial has not been conducted, it’s probably not a valid option.

Hanging upside down can probably increase the blood flow to your scalp, which is important in helping healthy hair to grow. However, blood flow needs to be increased all the time, not just when you have the time to hang upside down. Unless you sleep upside down, that’s not really a very convenient option.

If you are hanging upside down for extended periods of time, you also have to consider adverse health risks you are subjecting yourself to. First of all, your heart would have to work extra hard to pump blood to your feet, and the blood pressure in your head would be pretty high, which can cause you to black out in the short run, or lead to major headaches in the long run.

Ultimately if you want to increase the rate of blood flow to your scalp, it’s best to use a product with Minoxidil, which is already proven to do just that. You can definitely try hanging upside down, but just know it’s a hair loss myth, and nothing more.
