Do certain shampoos, hair styles, and other hair products cause hair loss?
An allergic reaction, constant pulling of hair for a particular hair style, or adverse reaction to hair products, have all been documented as influential causes for hair loss. In fact, your physician may ask what hairstyling techniques and products you are using as part of a normal hair loss assessment. Caustic hair dyes, straighteners, and other chemically-rich products can cause inflammation of the scalp, which many times result in either the breaking of hair strands or hair loss.
