A hair loss treatment shampoois not difficult to find; but finding one which will work on its own, without your having to use some other hair loss product from the same manufacturer, is almost impossible.

Yet, because so many hair loss sufferers are turning to hair loss treatment shampoo as a way to avoid possible side effects from pharmaceutical hair lose products like Rogaine and Propecia, the hair loss treatment shampoo business is booming.

Thymuskin, Nisim, Revivogen, Tricomin, and Viviscal all offer their own hair loss treatment shampoos based on a variety of ideas concerning the nature of hair loss and the optimal way address it.

Thymuskin hair loss treatment shampoo, for example, is the result of German research which indicated that some male pattern hair loss is not, as previously thought, the result of an overproduction of the hormone DHT. The German scientists believe that baldness results from an auto-immune deficiency which leads the body to attack its own hair follicles with white blood cells because it misinterprets their hair growing activity as production of a foreign substance.

The Thymuskin hair loss treatment shampoo requires daily use followed by a scalp massage with the Thymuskin hair lotion; the company recommends that the products be used together because they are designed to work synergistically.

More Shampoos Which Need Help

Synergism seems to be the favorite catchphrase when discussing any hair loss treatment shampoo; Revivagen Hair Loss Shampoo is recommended for use with Revivagen Scalp Therapy Formula; Nisim New Hair Biofactors hair loss shampoo treatments are "formulated to work with Nisim Hair Stimulating Extract"; and Viviscal Shampoo is meant to be used with Viviscal Tablets.

While Tricomin's copper sulfate-based hair loss treatment shampoo is especially formulated to treat telogen effluvium, which causes hair thinning in women, the Tricomin product with the highest amount of copper peptide is its Follicle Therapy Spray, used as a leave-in conditioner following a shampoo.

Patience Is Required

Each hair loss treatment shampoo treatment also required a significant period of use before it produces any noticeable results. Even Thymuskin, which has taken the European hair loss prevention industry by storm, requires between three and nine months to produce visible new hair growth; in those whose baldness has lasted more than five years, the results could take as long as one year.

But one good thing about any hair loss treatment shampoo, even though it usually require a second product to maximize its effectiveness, is that it can be discontinued once the desired hair re-growth has occurred. Rogaine and Propecia, on the other hand, must be used continually, or their effects will wear off.
