Reversing hair loss is an urgent priority for many women. If you want to do something right now that will help stop thinning hair and promote hair growth, I recommend scalp massages and oil treatments in along with one of the above shampoos. Making the switch to a hair growth shampoo is a simple way to start addressing your hair loss right now.
A little science for ya: Our bodies metabolize testosterone into dihyrotestosterone (DHT). DHT plays a major role in hair loss. This potent hormone shrinks your hair follicles, reducing hair density and making it harder for hair to grow. The hair loss shampoos I recommend above have active ingredients that help remove DHT at the scalp. You can also work to reduce your testosterone levels with a daily dose of spearmint tea.
Ketoconazole shampoos are especially helpful for women experiencing hair loss originating from testosterone sensitivity or excessive androgens, aka androgenic alopecia. Androgenic alopecia is a common form of female hair loss that’s often related to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

any toxin free brands you can recommend that dont add chemicals and dyes and all that junk that work?
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for commenting! I did some research and unfortunately I wasn’t able to find a ketoconazole shampoo that doesn’t come with a bunch of chemicals and dyes. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help!
I’m currently using a HiBar volumize (sulfate-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, & silicon-free), but it’s not a ketoconazole shampoo. I’m sure topicals can positively influence DHT levels, but overall I’ve found more success relying on diet and supplements to support hair health. Believe it or not, quitting sugar is one of the best was to balance your hormones! Eating sweets (including fruit) raises insulin levels which effects all of the other hormones in our bodies. For example, did you know that your ovaries will start to produce testosterone instead of estrogen if your body is constantly flooded with insulin?
