Product Information

DHT plays a significant role in male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), including hair thinning and a receding hairline because it shortens the hair growth cycle and bonds to receptors in hair follicles, causing shrinking or miniaturization. Most anti-dandruff shampoos we’ve encountered have medicinal smells that some companies hide better than others. Salicylic acid-based anti-dandruff shampoos like Avalon Organics can smell almost like latex paint. And ketoconazole offerings like the one from Keeps have an acrid scent that doesn’t seem to linger after rinsing but is unpleasant during the wash. Hims Dandruff Detox didn’t suffer from any noticeably unpleasant smell. Our testers found that its fragrance was light, minty, and almost unremarkable, which is much better than the clinical aroma other anti-dandruff products produce. Park, M., Cho, Y., Lee, Y.

Containing saw palmetto extract: Saw palmetto shampoos may contain saw palmetto extract derived from the berries of the saw palmetto plant. Hims Dandruff Detox is also very effective at inhibiting the growth of Malassezia, a genus of yeast we all have on our heads but one to which those with dandruff are more sensitive. Our testers found Dandruff Detox to work just as well as other medicated OTC anti-dandruff shampoos like Head & Shoulders or Avalon Organics. How often can you use it: If taking an oral supplement, consult your doctor for appropriate dosing information. The standard dose is 320mg taken with food to avoid digestive discomfort. If applying topically, it can be used twice weekly as a part of your hair care routine.Rossi, A., et al. (2012).

Saw palmetto is touted as providing additional benefits — though most are unsupported by strong science. Give it a try. While saw palmetto can’t be considered a complete solution for hair loss, it does have some impact on hair loss caused by high levels of DHT and hormonal imbalances. No single hair loss treatment is 100 percent effective, but saw palmetto could be a worthwhile addition to your hair care routine. In the meantime, the right hair care products can help add instant volume and body. For most of human history, baldness has been a subject of ridicule. Even in the Bible, some kids make fun of the prophet Elijah for being bald, and immediately after pronouncing a curse on them, two bears come out of the woods and maul 42 of the kids. 1 The average man insecure about his hair loss doesn’t have that kind of bear-summoning power to vanquish anyone who might make fun of him. But things have come a long way since then.

Being sulfate-free: Some saw palmetto shampoos might be sulfate-free, which means they do not contain harsh detergents that can strip the hair and scalp of natural oils. It is important to note that the effectiveness of this shampoo may vary from person to person and that more research is needed to understand its potential benefits fully. Always talk to a healthcare provider before using any new product, including saw palmetto shampoo, to ensure that it is safe and appropriate for you. Biotin (vitamin H): Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that’s part of the B vitamin family. It’s important to have biotin in your diet for hair growth. Some shampoos also contain this ingredient, which may promote hair fullness and reduce breakage. Murugusundram S. Serenoa repens: does it have any role in the management of androgenetic alopecia?.
