Regular Member ClarkKent77 Posted May 31, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hello! Are there any shampoos which cause shedding? I am in the process of trying new shampoos, so I'd like to know if there are any which should be used sparingly? I believe Nizoral is one. Revita? Biotin? Grow Me?

Dr Blake Bloxham Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hello mild-mannered Clark Kent ... I personally believe the only shampoos that cause a true "shed" -- like the type seen with minoxidil and finasteride -- are those containing ketoconazole. Many "hair loss" shampoos do contain this active ingredient, but I think the most popular is Nizoral. Other shampoos containing things like Biotin, caffeine, other vitamins associated with healthy hair, etc, shouldn't really cause an active shed.
