What is the best and safest/mildest shampoo?

I've been using Head %26amp; Shoulders for years now. At first, I thought it was good cus I felt like it really works well on my hair. It became soft and shiny, then I noticed, with my continued use, my hair break and falls alot and I developed dandruff too. My hair was thick then, and now It's so thin that you could easily see my scalp! Then I decided to switch on L'oreal. Same effect, too. Any advice? What do I really need to learn about shampoos? cus I rarely go to salons and ask some hairstylists...





Your answers are much appreciated.


Thanks!

Try Selsun Blue shampoos. They are very effective when it comes to getting rid of dandruff, and are fairly gentle on hair. If that doesn't work, try Neutrogena T-Sal. It is very gentle on the scalp and gets rid of dandruff patches. Hope this helps!
Some people find that baby shampoo works well even as an adult.





Your problem may not be the shampoo. It may be a medical problem that is causing your hair to break and fall out easily. Consider seeing a doctor to rule that out. Also consider taking a vitamin supplement formulated for hair/nail growth and strength.





Herbal Essences is not an organic shampoo. It's virtually the same as Pantene. Most commercial shampoos contain sodium laureth sulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate and / or cocamide MEA, and many people find those chemicals harsh and irritating. A natural shampoo might be better for your hair. Some brands you may find at a reasonable price at your local discount or drug store are Tom's of Maine, JASON Natural products and Burt's Bees. They will cost more than Suave or Pantene, of course, but they are reliable and should improve your hair.





Let's talk dandruff for a moment. A small amount of dandruff is normal. Your scalp has skin cells, they die and have to go somewhere. If you have excessive flaking or scaling, especially when combined with a rash, you may have a more serious problem, which again should be checked out by a doctor. If it is just normal dandruff (white flaking with no accompanying scales or rash or excessive oil), most web sites, hairstylists and doctors will recommend harsh chemical shampoos with salicylic acid, coal tar or Head and Shoulders. There are a number of natural home remedies, the most common of which involve massaging a natural oil like olive oil or a mayo-type mixture of eggs and oil into your scalp, leaving it in for 5 minutes, then thoroughly rinsing. Another is to always rinse with cold water or to rinse with vinegar.
