One of the biggest hair loss myths:

“I avoid shampoo because it causes hair fall.”

Truth: Shampoo doesn’t cause hair loss. The hairs you see while washing were already in the shedding (telogen) phase and ready to fall.

Shampoo simply helps release them—it doesn’t make healthy hair fall out.

The key is choosing the right shampoo for your scalp type. A harsh shampoo may cause dryness, irritation, or breakage, but not true hair loss.

Remember: Shampoo cleans your scalp. Hair loss is usually linked to genetics, hormones, nutrition, stress, medical conditions, and your natural hair cycle.
