FAQs about the dandruff shampoo

Does dandruff cause hair loss?

Dandruff is a condition that commonly affects men with pattern hair loss. While dandruff does not cause hair loss, itching your scalp can irritate the skin barrier which can cause infection and contribute to hair loss. Pyrithione zinc (1%) is the active ingredient in our anti dandruff shampoo for men that can help reduce inflammation on the scalp—helping prevent itch and the head-scratching that results.

What makes a good dandruff shampoo?

According to dermatologists, a good men’s dandruff shampoo should contain ingredients that are antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory. The pyrithione zinc (1%) in Dandruff Detox Shampoo controls dandruff, while gently cleansing to remove flakes and buildup so skin can stay healthy.

Can a dandruff shampoo help with hair loss?

A six-month, 200-patient study was carried out to assess the benefits of a pyrithione zinc (1%) (ZPT) shampoo used daily when compared with a 5% minoxidil solution used twice daily. Also to be tested against both solutions was a placebo, as well as the combination of the pyrithione zinc (1%) shampoo and 5% minoxidil fluid. At the end of the study, the hair counts in the pyrithione zinc (1%) group recorded a sustained improvement in hair growth after 26 weeks of treatment. However, the minoxidil solution group and the combination treatment of minoxidil and pyrithione zinc (1%) showed more improvement in hair growth.
