This is not true, shampooing helps in keeping the scalp clean. But if the shampoo is harsh and of poor quality then you will certainly encounter hair loss. It is advisable to use a pH balanced shampoo. Shampooing also removes the excess build up of sebum, which combines with sweat and causes hair problems like hair loss and dandruff.

1) Men have a tendency to rush with their routines, so they end up using shampoo on the hair without even wetting the mane. This is bad and will certainly lead to hair loss. It is essential to wet your hair thoroughly before applying shampoo. Massage the shampoo for a minute and rinse off, do not go on massaging your hair with the shampoo. A minute or two is more than enough. This is a common mistake men commit.

2) Do not use too much of shampoo, overuse of shampoo will damage your hair and cause product build up if it is not rinsed off thoroughly. You have to decide the quantity of shampoo according to the thickness of your hair. Use less shampoo if you have fine hair and a little more if you have thick hair.

3) Always follow up your shampooing with a conditioner. Never skip the conditioner, it can leave your hair dry and damaged. And while you apply conditioner, let it stay for atleast 5 minutes. Indulge in some other activity until the conditioner works on your hair. You can clean your nails with a nail brush while the conditioner makes its way through your hair.
