Reveal the key to effectively promoting hair growth

How to use hair growth shampoo?

Master scientific principles and say goodbye to the trouble of hair loss,Things you need to know about hair growth shampoo.

As a company specializing in the manufacturing of hair care products, Beslocosmetics has its own laboratory in Guangzhou and two factories in Zhuhai. We are well aware of the scientific principles behind hair growth shampoo. According to the global hair loss and growth care market research report, the global hair loss care market size has reached tens of billions of yuan in 2024 and is expected to continue to grow.

Many hair growth shampoos on the market are indeed effective, but they need to understand their scientific principles and correct usage. Here are six key suggestions based on scientific research and industry experience to help you choose and use hair growth shampoo.

1 Focus on active ingredients rather than exaggerating the publicity section.

When choosing shampoo, ingredients are the core factor that determines the effectiveness of the product. A truly effective hair growth shampoo should contain ingredients that have been scientifically proven to promote hair growth.

• Finding these key ingredients: Studies have shown that ingredients such as Capixyl (a bioactive peptide complex) and Alpecin caffeine (caffeine complex) can effectively inhibit the production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone). DHT is the main culprit in androgenic hair loss. These ingredients are recognized as effective in preventing them from being out of bounds. In addition, some natural plant components such as Orchidaceae and Polygonum multiflorum extract are also considered by traditional and modern research to nourish hair follicles and regulate scalp oil secretion.
• Beware of these ingredients: Avoid shampoos containing sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which may produce by-product “1,4-dioxane” (a carcinogen) during the cleaning process. At the same time, although silicone oil (polydimethylsiloxane) can smooth hair in the short term, long-term use may clog hair follicles, causing dandruff and hair loss problems.
• Ingredient safety: High-quality shampoos should avoid containing highly irritating cleansers, silicone oils, artificial pigments and other ingredients. Preferred choice of products that do not contain silicone oil, use amino acid surfactant, and contain natural plant extracts.

2 Understand the relationship between scalp environment and hair follicle health.

The scalp is the “soil” for hair growth. If you want to have dense hair, you must first ensure that your scalp is healthy. The main causes of scalp problems include imbalance in bacteria, damaged barriers and hormone effects.

Maintaining the balance of scalp flora is crucial. Overpropagation of microorganisms such as Malassezia will decompose oils and produce oleic acid, causing inflammation, leading to dandruff and itching. Choosing shampoos containing natural plant sterilization ingredients such as Sophora pilosula complex can help maintain scalp flora balance.

Protecting the scalp barrier should not be ignored. Frequent perming and excessive cleaning will damage the weak acidic environment of the scalp (pH 4.5-6.5) and accelerate moisture loss. Therefore, choosing a shampoo with a weakly acidic formula (PH around 7.3) is more gentle and helps maintain a healthy scalp environment.

3 Proper use and massage techniques to promote absorption.

Even if you choose the right hair growth shampoo, incorrect usage will greatly reduce the product’s effectiveness.

• Pre-washing preparation: Use a comb to smoothly comb your hair before washing it, which can help remove dust and dander from the surface of the hair while promoting blood circulation on the scalp.
• Water temperature control: Wash your hair with warm water at 37-40℃. Too high water temperature will irritate the scalp and excessively open the hair scales; too low water temperature will not be completely cleaned.
• Massage techniques: Use your fingertips instead of nails to massage the scalp to avoid scratching the scalp. When using hair growth shampoo for the first time, it is recommended to use fingertips for 5 minutes to activate blood circulation on the scalp and double the effect. Massage can be performed in order from the hairline to the top of the head and from both sides to the top of the head.
• Stay time: Let the shampoo foam stay on the scalp for at least 3-5 minutes, so that the active ingredients (such as caffeine, etc.) have enough time to be absorbed by the hair follicles.

4 Continuous use and manage expectations.

Hair growth is a long-term process and requires persistence to see the results. It is impossible to expect significant improvements in one or two use.

Research shows that active ingredients like Capixyl can increase the number of new hair by about 89% after six consecutive months of use. Experts suggest that hair growth requires at least 3 months to see the changes.

It is important to set reasonable expectations: only a slight decrease in hair loss may be observed in the first month; narrowing of the seams may occur in the second month; and by the third month, small fluff may begin to emerge on both sides of the forehead. Only by insisting on using it and cooperating with healthy work and rest and dietary conditioning can the effect be maximized.

5 Select products based on your own hair type and type of hair loss.

There is no hair growth shampoo for everyone, so you need to choose the right product based on your own hair type and type of hair loss.

• Oily scalp + hair loss troubles: suitable for using oil-controlled hair growth shampoos, such as products that contain PCA zinc, salicylic acid and other components that regulate oil secretion.
• Those with sensitive scalp but want to grow hair: choose products that do not contain SLS sulfate surfactant, silicone oil-free, and are friendly to sensitive scalp.
• Hairline backwards: Choose products specifically targeted at androgenic hair loss, such as shampoos containing DHT-inhibiting ingredients.

For those with dry hair and dry scalp, some powerful oil-controlled hair shampoos may make their hair feel dry and need to be carefully selected or used with moisturizing hair care products.

6 Better effect with comprehensive hair care solution.

Hair growth shampoo alone has certain effects, but it will be better when combined with a comprehensive hair care solution.

• Match hair care products: Be sure to match conditioner (especially the end of the hair) after washing to avoid damage to the hair dryness. Scalp cleaning mask can be used once a week to help remove residues and allow nutrients to be absorbed better.
• Pair with the same series of essences: Used with the same series of hair growth essences, the effect of preventing hair loss will be more obvious. These essences usually contain higher concentrations of active ingredients that can act directly on hair follicles.
• Intrinsic conditioning: Supplementing nutrients such as zinc, vitamin B group, etc. that help regulate sebum secretion. Avoid staying up late, because staying up late will increase cortisol, which will increase oil output.
• Sun protection: The scalp is thinner than the skin on the face and is more susceptible to photoaging. Direct UV rays can aggravate hair loss, so proper physical occlusion protection is required.
