Can Head & Shoulders cause hair loss?

I learned from my barber that using Head %26amp; Shoulders shampoo for an extended period of time can cause hair loss. Is this true?Can Head %26amp; Shoulders cause hair loss?
Back in the 1960s a friend of mine used it daily and he swore it was the cause of his loosing much of his hair. However, it was obviously pattern baldness which is hereditary.





It may be that Head and Shoulders once supported the effect of those who have a genetic predisposition toward pattern baldness, but if it was ever true I'm sure that it isn't at the present time. Can you imagine the court suits that would already be in the works?





I suspect that it is another one of those uban myths.Can Head %26amp; Shoulders cause hair loss?
I need to change my shampoo because I am a long term user of head and shoulder. I have good health as well. I'm in my early 20s and comparing my hairs back with I was a young girl, I have loss 3/4 of my hairs already

If it irritates your acalp or you have an allergy to it, maybe. Not usually.
dont think so...





i think your barber is just elling you stuuf like this to get extra buisness
WELL THAT CAN BE A POSSIBILLITY IF YOU USE IT EVERYDAY .ITS NOT A SHAMPOO TO USE EVERYDAY IF YOU DONT HAVE DANDRUFF. DANDRUFF SHAMPOOS ARE VERY HARSH WHEN IT SOME TO THE HAIR SO ONLY USE IT WHEN YOU HAVE BAD DANDRUFF PROBLEMS AND FOLLOW IT UP WITH A REALLY GOOD CONDITIONER
yes it is
no it causes dandruff loss
no, its hereditary
actually, i used it for a period of time, and my hair did drop noticeably. I attributed it at the time to changing shampoos. I dont know of any reason (eg a chemical in it) that would cause it though
I've used it every day for more than 20 years and I still have a full head of hair.
no its the best shampoo around
I dunno, but I've never been a big fan of Head %26amp; Shoulders.
No, it is a dandruff shampoo not a hair loss shampoo.
NOPE!!!!
Yes it is true if you use it all the time, but it is not you are going to go bald in one day.
whenever i am forced to use that shampoo my hair tends to fall out.


like not chunks or baldness or any thing but it did shed just a little more than usual
no its not true there is people who have used it for years upon years


my girlfriend has used it for ten years and she still has all her hair.


wearing hats can cause hair loss tho
no the only factors that cause hair loss are as follows; heredity, stress, hormonal in balances, and chemical mishaps.
I sure hope not.
It shouldnt.
no i use it all the time, it is a very good product!!!
It would depend on whether you are allergic to it or not. If you are allergic to it hair loss can occasionally occur but not always. i am allergic to wash and go and clumps of my hair fall out if I use it.
No it can't,like my good friend Telly Savalas used to say.
no not really i have used it %26amp; it helps my hair . my hair is very health%26amp; if u dont feal comftable with that shampoo just change it 2 one u think would be better
