Does batiste dry shampoo cause hair loss?

I've started using Batiste dry shampoo occasionally, especially on busy mornings. I recently heard some online chatter linking dry shampoo use to hair loss. Does Batiste dry shampoo actually cause hair loss, or is it just a rumor?

I tried using home-made cornstarch dry shampoo and commercial ones like Batiste, but both caused scalp itching and hair fall. The truth is, nothing replaces a proper water wash to clean the scalp. Try using it very sparingly and wash your hair the next day.

Clinical experience shows that dry shampoos do not directly cause hair loss from the root. However, overuse leads to folliculitis and product accumulation, which can trigger hair breakage and shedding. A dermatologist's evaluation is best if the shedding continues.

Haan, heavy chemicals and starch in these sprays will block your scalp pores na. If the pores can't breathe, hair will obviously get weak and fall. Better to keep its use to once a month or only during travels.

I sweat a lot during workouts and used to spray dry shampoo to save time. My scalp got super irritated and hair started thinning. Now, I just do a quick water rinse and eat a protein-rich diet to keep my hair follicles healthy from the inside.

My teenage daughter started using Batiste daily for college and complained about hair fall. I had to strictly tell her to stop using it and helped her set up a regular hair-wash routine. Her hair fall has reduced significantly since then.

I was actually researching this online because my hair has been thinning lately. It seems dry shampoo doesn't cause baldness, but it can cause hair breakage if we don't wash it out properly. I've decided to cut down on it just to be safe.
