Head and Shoulders Opinions

In December 14 2005, someone wrote that he started losing hair soon after beginning to use Head & Shoulders shampoo. At the time, you advised that, to your knowledge, the shampoo did not contribute to hair loss. However, in 2008, you posted a fair amount of reader commentary, much of which linked the readers’ hair loss to that shampoo by their own account. Does your opinion remain unchanged from that of 2005?

Yes, my opinion on Head and Shoulders causing hair loss is unchanged. Maybe there’s an allergic reaction or something else entirely… but generally speaking, shampoos won’t cause hair loss.

I don’t shy away from posting reader comments on products, but it is their opinions and/or experiences.
