Can garnier fructis cause hair loss?

I've been using Garnier Fructis shampoo for a while now, and recently, I've noticed a lot more hair fall than usual. I'm worried it might be related to the shampoo. Can Garnier Fructis products actually cause hair loss?

Haha, unless you are using the shampoo bottle to physically hit yourself on the head, it shouldn't cause sudden hair loss! Joking aside, sometimes our water quality or stress is the real thief, but we just end up blaming the poor green bottle.

Honestly, hair fall can be so tricky. I thought a new shampoo was causing my hair loss, but it actually turned out to be my internal hormonal changes from PCOS. Maybe track your diet and stress levels too, because sometimes the shampoo is just a trigger, not the actual root cause.

Haan na, even my friend was complaining about this last month. Some shampoos have strong chemicals that might not suit your scalp type, ho na? If your hair is falling a lot, better to switch to a mild, sulfate-free baby shampoo for a few weeks and see if it stops.

I was actually reading about this online because I wanted to buy it. Some reviews say the high fragrance ingredients can irritate sensitive scalps, which might lead to scratching and hair fall. It seems like it totally depends on your personal scalp sensitivity, so maybe try a small bottle first.

Haan, chemical-based shampoos sometimes don't suit everyone, na. I also tried that green bottle and got a lot of frizz and breakage. Just stop using it for a while and use normal warm oil before washing, it really helps to strengthen the roots.

I can only tell you what happened with me. Whenever I use heavily scented supermarket shampoos like Fructis, my scalp gets super itchy and I notice more strands in the drain. I shifted to a dermatologist-recommended mild cleanser, and my scalp has been much happier since then.

Actually, Garnier can be a bit harsh for dry hair types because of the strong fragrance and sulfates, yaar. I used it during college and felt my hair got super dry, which led to breakage. Try changing your shampoo once and see if the hair fall reduces.
