syban Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hello all, I've been using Regaine and Revivogen combination with very good results for some time now. Lately in the past 2 weeks I decided to add (greedy man) an anti hairloss shampoo called seba med in the mix to see if it gives something more. The problem is that I have noticed increased hairloss (medium to small hairs fall) which got me to look maybe one month before or more. I noticed also that this fits the period where I started this shampoo. Could the shampoo caused this hairloss??? It works with caffeine and gingo miloba which claims it increases the blood flow around the follicles.. It says do not leave no more than 2 minutes and I have observed this instruction. Maybe it spoils the minoxodil-revivogen combination? What do you guys believe? I am thinking to stop this. P.S. At the same period i stopped taking vitamins for hair, just to give my liver a rest. Dont know if this relates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted June 12, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 12, 2014 Syban, I tried searching the internet for the specific ingredients in Sebamed shampoo, but didn't find anything conclusive. Does the shampoo contain anything that claims to topically block DHT (i.e. ketoconazole, saw palmetto, etc)? I know it claims to be "soap less" and slightly acidic (pH of 5.5), but I'm not sure either of these would have accelerated your hair loss.

Hello F_HT Doc, It is actually seba med anti hairloss shampoo because they have a variety of different shampoos. This one has caffeine and gingo miloba which are for microstimulation and increased bloodflow. So I do not think they have any dht blocking ingredients. I do not know then why it did me harm (if it did). Does increased bloodflow means more DHT to the scalp? Could this be a factor? The good nutrients go there as well but if it is more DHT along with more nutrients I think since I have hairloss it is worse theoretically?

Dreadlocks1 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hello there, yes, shampoo may cause your problem because shampoo and other products provide results according to your scalp and it is necessary to choose the right product according to hair type and scalp. Take advice from hair experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member GoneTodayToo Posted October 18, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted October 18, 2014 What do you mean by "causing hair loss"? In fact, if you are noticing an increase in shedding, this is indicative of the shampoo working. This "hair loss" is not likely to be permanent.

Regular Member combatdad Posted November 13, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 13, 2014 You're using three shampoos? I feel like that's pushing it. I know that when i introduced a secondary topical product (rogaine then revivogen) i started shedding but like GoneTodayToo said, it may be a sign of it working - your scalp may be regenerating. If anything, have you tried adding ingestibles into your regimen? Topical approaches are great but if you're looking for a catalyst you may want to try propecia. If you want to stay away from meds, try pumpkin seed oil 1000mg every other day. i swear by that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
