Your shampoo usually isn’t the main cause of hair loss. Hair fall during washing happens because those hairs were already in the shedding phase. However, using the wrong shampoo or harsh hair care habits can irritate the scalp and increase breakage. If hair fall continues despite gentle care, the cause is often genetic, hormonal, or nutritional. This is why experts, including those at QHT Clinic, always stress scalp diagnosis over blaming products alone.
