Can a shampoo help with hair loss?

Stressed hair needs a lot of care. It is additionally stressed by internal and external influences.

There are numerous influencing factors, such as sun exposure, malnutrition or hormonal stress, to name but a few. If hair loss occurs, something has to be done. But what? Can shampoos really help with hair loss?

In short, yes shampoos can certainly help, even if care with a special functional shampoo is only sufficient as the sole measure in a few cases. In most cases, further investigation and treatment is required.

The primary purpose of shampoos is to cleanse and care for the hair and scalp. For example, a conditioning agent such as biotin supports the formation of the protein keratin. Keratin is a main component of hair and so biotin contributes to the normalization of skin and hair.

In addition, there are special active ingredients that are able to act on the hair root or hair follicle. These are the structures in the scalp that surround the hair root and anchor the hair in the skin.

Clinical research and many years of practical experience have shown that thymus peptides can have a regenerating and strengthening effect on the hair follicles. Thymus peptides improve the cell supply to the hair follicles, which supports the formation of new hair cells and significantly prolongs the hair growth phase.

Care with shampoos is necessary but not always sufficient

However, the biological effects mentioned above are only relevant if the active ingredient reaches the hair roots in sufficient concentration. Shampoos only partially achieve this and are therefore only sufficient as the sole measure against hair loss in a few cases. For example, regular use of Thymuskin Forte Shampoo can certainly lead to normalization in cases of mild hair loss. Furthermore, regular care with Thymuskin shampoo can strengthen the hair permanently.

For all other cases of hair loss, we recommend the combined use of Thymuskin Shampoo and Thymuskin Serum. The Thymuskin serum is applied to the scalp and the thymus peptide active ingredient reaches the hair follicle through the hair canal.

The pH-value skin-friendly Thymuskin cleansing & care shampoos gently remove dirt particles from the hair and scalp. This is an important prerequisite for the subsequent use of Thymuskin Serum. Other shampoos with unsuitable ingredients can form a film on the scalp and thus prevent the Thymuspetide from being absorbed.

The GKL-02 Thymic Peptide Complex contained in Thymuskin shampoos prepares the scalp. This ensures the optimal effectiveness of the Thymuskin Serum applied afterwards.
