Naturally, hair will fall out of the scalp every day. However, if the amount is not normal, there could be another reason. One of them is the content of the shampoo you use.
Shampoo can contain ingredients that can worsen hair loss problems, such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and parabens.
SLS is an effective cleaning agent to remove oil and dirt from hair. However, SLS is classified as a strong anionic surfactant.
In the journal entitled "Formulating sulfate-free shampoo: composition, benefits, and therapeutic use" (2024), SLS as a surfactant can remove up to 97 percent of keratin protein in the hair shaft during the shampooing process.
Loss of keratin protein can cause erosion of the cuticle, which is the outermost protective layer of hair, which can ultimately weaken the hair structure and increase the risk of hair breakage and damage.
Still in the same journal, research using an electron microscope shows that repeated exposure to SLS can cause significant changes in hair, such as lifting of cuticle scales and exposure of cortical fibers in the hair shaft. This condition directly increases the risk of hair loss when combed.
In addition, SLS can also disrupt the balance of the scalp's natural acid layer, thereby increasing the pH. Then, the increase in pH can activate proteolytic enzymes in the hair follicles that will break down collagen tissue.
To overcome the above problems, Essentia Apothecary has two types of shampoos that can solve your hair problems, namely:
- Stimulator - Boost hair growth & energize your scalp.
- Anti Dandruff - Say goodbye to flakes and hello to confidence.
Pick your fighter—or use both for the ultimate scalp reset.
