Hair Loss. Is Anaphase Shampoo Recommended For Hair Loss?

Hi just curious if you'd recommend anaphase shampoo by ducray to slow hair loss. My shedding started almost a year ago and all blood work came back normal. Docs say it's possible stress related....i'm a 35 year old woman with no history of female pattern baldness on my mothers side. Just wanted to know if i should spend my money and try this shampoo...thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Hair fall in females could be due to hormones and genetic factors( androgenetic alopecia), stress, chronic illness, nutritional deficiency, thyroid disorders, anemia, vitamin d deficiency etc. As you have mentioned that all the blood tests were done, I presume that all the hormonal causes, nutritional deficiencies, vitamin d deficiency, thyroid DS, anemia etc has been ruled out.
To treat hair fall, simply using anaphase shampoo would not help. However if used in conjunction with minoxidil 2 percent solution to be applied topically over scalp, it would give better results.
I would advise
Oil your hair once a week
Avoid any chemical treatment like colouring, rebounding perming, blow drying or ironing your hair.
Do regular work outs and try to minimise stress
Take a diet rich in eggs, cheese, nuts, meat, sardine, salmon, mackerel, green leafy vegetables,soy products, lentils, salads and fruits. These foods are rich in protein, b complex group vitamins and minerals needed for hair growth.

Hope that helped. Take care
