SHAMPOOS HAIR LOSS

Hair loss occurs as a result of certain factors like aging, gender, hormonal or body changes like giving birth : the hair’s life cycle is disrupted, considerably shortening hair growth and thinning hair. Vichy’s Dercos hair loss shampoo is enriched with patented molecule and designed to reduce the rate of hair loss to reinforce, protect and to leave hair feeling nourished and revitalised.

Frequently Asked Questions
About HAIR LOSS

Q1: What shampoo is good for hair loss?

Vichy Energising scalp Shampoo is designed to reduce the rate of hair loss and maintain the density of thinning hair due to hair breaking. Enriched with patented molecule Aminexil, Vitamins B3, B6 and Provitamin B5, the shampoo reinforces and protects to leave hair feeling nourished and revitalized.

Q2: Does volumizing shampoo cause hair loss?

Certain volumizing shampoos can cause hair loss as they contain ingredients engineered to not rinse out and adhere to your hair strands to create the temporary feel of being thicker and more voluminous. Since they don't rinse out, they sit on your scalp and can cause inflammation, block and irritate follicles causing healthy hair growth to stop and eventually fall out.

Q3: Does clarifying shampoo cause hair loss?

Clarifying shampoos are formulated with higher levels of surfactants than other shampoos and remove buildup and residue from conditioners and styling products. Unfortunately while doing so, they remove some of hair’s natural oils that keep it shiny and moisturized, especially if they’re used too often, which can lead to hair loss.

Q4: Why am I losing so much hair since living in the GCC?

Hair fall is extremely common in the region due to a combination of environmental and lifestyle factors. The main culprits are hard desalinated tap water (which leaves mineral deposits that clog follicles), intense outdoor heat, and daily sweat accumulation under traditional headwear like the hijab, shemagh, or ghutra. Combined with frequent temperature shifts between outdoor heat and indoor air conditioning, your scalp undergoes constant stress, pushing hair prematurely into the shedding phase. To counteract this environmental hair fall, you need a treatment that fortifies the hair root directly, such as the Vichy Dercos Aminexil Clinical 5 treatment paired with the Dercos Energy+ Stimulating Shampoo.

Q5: How does hard tap water cause hair thinning, and can shampoo actually stop it?

Desalinated tap water contains heavy mineral ions like calcium and magnesium. When you shower, these minerals bond to your scalp and hair shaft, causing micro-inflammation around the hair follicle and making the hair fiber brittle and prone to snap. While a shower filter helps, a specialized shampoo is required to detoxify the scalp. Vichy Dercos Energy+ Stimulating Shampoo uses Aminexil and Niacinamide to clear away mineral buildup, stimulate scalp micro-circulation, and reinforce the hair anchor so roots stay firmly attached to the follicle.

Q6: Does wearing a head covering (hijab, ghutra, or cap) every day make hair fall worse?

Wearing daily head coverings doesn't directly cause hair loss from the root, but it can create a micro-environment that accelerates thinning if not managed properly. Heat, sweat, and lack of airflow under headwear can disrupt the scalp's microbiome, while mechanical friction against delicate hair strands causes breakage. To keep your scalp healthy under head coverings, use lightweight treatments that don't leave a greasy residue. Vichy Dercos Aminexil Clinical 5 ampoules absorb quickly into the scalp without making hair oily, rebalancing the scalp barrier while anchoring the roots.

Q7: What is the difference between Vichy Dercos Energy+ Shampoo and Aminexil Clinical 5 Ampoules?

They are designed to work together as a complete anti-hair loss routine, but perform two distinct roles:
- Dercos Energy+ Stimulating Shampoo (Daily Maintenance): Acts as your fortifying base wash. It cleanses the scalp, removes sweat and mineral buildup, and increases hair volume while preparing the scalp for intensive leave-in treatments.
- Dercos Aminexil Clinical 5 Ampoules (Targeted Intensive Treatment): A high-potency leave-in topical treatment applied directly to the scalp. It delivers 5 targeted actions: anchors the root, boosts micro-circulation, strengthens the hair fiber, rebalances the scalp, and fortifies the skin barrier against environmental stress.

Q8: How quickly can I expect to see results from Vichy Aminexil for hair loss?

Consistency is key when treating hair fall in harsh environments. Clinical tests show that when using the Dercos Aminexil Clinical 5 treatment continuously, hair fall is noticeably reduced within 6 weeks of daily application. You will notice fewer hairs on your hairbrush, pillow, and shower drain, along with a stronger, thicker hair fiber that is far more resistant to environmental breakage.
