It is also suitable for coloured or chemically treated hair which we like.  

The L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 has been on my bathroom shelf for years now. A rather iconic brand and product in itself, the total repair 5 works great on all hair types especially oily-scalped hair. It helps with split ends, dehydration, rough and frizzy hair, smells great and of course helps with hair fall. Other than seasonal change hair fall, since I've started using this shampoo, I do not seem  to be losing hair by the fistfulls anymore! However, if you're a super conscious buyer and prefer organic, or Ayurvedic-based products, then we'd suggest you steer clear of this one. We'd also suggest getting the conditioner and serum. 

Pro-Tip: Best hair serums for shiny hair. 

This is a shampoo that tends to get recommended by salon professionals a lot simply because of how well made it is. It's one of the few Ayurveda-backed L'Oreal products, which has got hundreds of positive reviews. Needless to say, argan oil in itself is a great source of nourishment and strength, making it suitable for curbing hair fall in the long term.

Our grandmothers and mothers used home ingredients like amla and curry leaves for their hair care solely because of how beneficial it is for hair fall and strength. This shampoo by Nykaa Naturals heroes both these ingredients and claims to reduce hair fall significantly. The curry leaves help with thinning, hair loss and is loaded with proteins, while the amla helps with blood circulation that helps strengthen hair follicles. In addition to this, the shampoo is vegan, and free of any and all nasties. 

We're big fans of Sebamed as a brand because of it being a pharmaceutical brand that boasts clean, tested, and science-backed products. The anti hair loss shampoo claims reduced hair loss through activation of the functions of the scalp, while being packed with NHE complex and caffeine, which is the active vitalising principle of coffee that helps enhance circulation. It also has ingredients like Gingko Biloba, which is the natural extract from the Asian Gingko tree that supports the positive effects of NHE complex on nutrient supply to the hair roots. Further, the product is dermatologically tested, is soap like when it comes to formula and is alkali-free. 

Personally, I am in love with Bare Anatomy's scalp scrub that has helped tremendously with my dandruff and scalp buildup. It also claims to remove pollution, which I completely believe it does. So no wonder, I'd also recommend their shampoo that is best for anti-hair fall. It is suited for all hair types, while it also increases hair follicle growth by 121% within 14 days of use, which we think is pretty cool. Further, it's also enriched with the goodness of adenosine and biotinoyl tripeptide-1 while being formulated with AdenoGrow technology. It also helps prevent and control frizz, which is much needed, especially for humid days. 

Aveda's botanical repair strengthening shampoo is known for fixing and cleaning hair follicles up to three layers deep. It is suited for all hair types and textures while it gently removes excess sebum from the scalp that helps with blood circulation and helps the roots breathe leading to more growth naturally. The formula has ingredients like green tea, avocado oil, and corn, all of which help deeply nourish damaged hair and curb hair fall.
