Last article we talked about the best shampoo for hair loss. We were saying how it is not that simple. To choose the best conditioner for hair loss is also complex. The best conditioner for hair loss will help your hair look and feel its best by addressing your hair type, while experiencing hair loss.
The best hair conditioner for hair loss should be gentle on the hair and not contribute to the hair loss by damaging the hair or making the hair feel dry. Conditioner for hair loss should make the hair feel soft and manageable, but not weigh it down.
Conditioner for hair fall
Hair conditioner for hair fall should be more about your hair type, not the hair loss. A hair conditioner should soften the hair and close the hair cuticle. Hair loss products are more scalp products, so a conditioner for hair fall will not help the physical hair.
Remember here physical hair loss is caused be the body three months earlier. Hair conditioner for hair fall cannot stop hair loss, no matter what the product claims to do.
Best conditioner for hair loss and regrowth
When experiencing hair loss, going through hair loss treatments and hair regrowth treatments, the best conditioner for hair loss and regrowth will help the existing hair. Hair loss can expose other problems with the hair you may not have been aware of. The remaining hair may now feel dry, brittle, be frizzy and showing hair breakage.
Good conditioner for hair loss – your hair type
Things to consider when choosing a good conditioner for hair loss and your hair type:
- Hair strand type – fine, medium, thick
- Hair structure – straight, wavy, curly
- Hair condition – dry, oily, coloured, bleached, physically damaged, chemically treated
- Hair needs – moisture, protein or combination
With so many products on the market and so many different names for moisture and protein, it can be tricky to choose what is a good conditioner for you.
Coating hair conditioners – hair breakage
There are also many coating hair products out there, don’t use the synthetic silicones, hair relaxers that coat the hair or claim to repair the hair with keratin coating, as they will break the hair if it does not have normal structure. The hair strand structure is normally compromised with hair loss and hair thinning. You cannot see this with the naked eye, you need a microscope. These type of keratin coating products come with conditioners to use at home to maintain the coating, this can cause ongoing hair breakage.

Hair falls out when applying conditioner
When experiencing hair loss, you are losing double the normal daily hair loss. This hair loss is collected mainly when you wash your hair. If you have not washed your hair for three days this could look like 600 hairs. These hairs will release from the existing hair, where it is caught, or tangled. Adding the hair conditioner, which is softening the hair, makes it look like the hair conditioner is causing hair loss, but it is not.
Hair loss is from the scalp, caught in the hair and found more so on wash days when applying conditioner. People fall into the trap of avoidance behaviour, not washing the hair when experiencing hair loss in fear it will cause more hair loss. Not washing the hair and avoiding hair conditioner won’t help, it only makes hair collection higher on wash days. Not using hair conditioner could also damage the hair making it very difficult to manage on top of the physical hair loss.
Alopecia shampoo and conditioner
The main types of alopecia I want to mention here are autoimmune alopecia areata, the patchy type of hair loss where the immune system attacks the hair follicle. Then there is the hormone related pattern hair thinning, androgenetic alopecia.
For both types of alopecia, and for general health, alopecia shampoo and conditioner should have no harmful ingredients. The most commonly known ingredients to avoid are sodium laurel sulphate and propylene glycol. You can find more harmful ingredients to avoid in the easy pH test kit and Absolique toxic decoder.
