Biotin Shampoo 250ml

For hair that comes out in handfuls in the shower and on the comb. Hair that snaps when you brush it, feels thin and limp, or a ponytail that has quietly got thinner over the last year. Most of that everyday baal jharna is breakage, fragile strands giving way, and breakage is the part a shampoo can genuinely change.

Sulphate-free from the surfactant up. Most "gentle" shampoos here drop one sulphate and keep another. This has none. The whole cleansing system is Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Decyl Glucoside and Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, sitting second, third and fourth in the formula. Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is not Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, despite the names looking nearly identical, it is amino-acid derived and mild. That matters more here than most places. Washing in hard water leaves mineral deposits that can make hair feel rough and dull, and while the research on how much that actually weakens the fibre is mixed, a stripping shampoo on top of it is the part you can control.

Biotin and Hydrolyzed Keratin, fifth and sixth in the formula. Not a trace at the bottom of the list next to the fragrance. Biotin supports the keratin structure your hair is built from. Hydrolyzed Keratin is broken down small enough to get inside damaged fibres and reinforce them from within, which is what brings breakage down rather than coating the strand so it merely feels smoother in the shower. Mild enough to use as often as you wash, daily if your scalp runs oily.

An honest note: hair fall has many causes and a shampoo addresses one of them. This strengthens fragile strands and cuts the breakage behind a lot of everyday shedding. It will not regrow hair, and it is not a treatment for hair loss. Hair grows on slow cycles, so judge it at two to three months, not two weeks. If your shedding came on suddenly or is severe, see a doctor, as that usually points to something no shampoo can fix.

If your main problem is frizz, dryness or dullness rather than fall and breakage, the Rice Silk Shampoo is the better fit.
