Common Myths About Hair Growth Shampoos

Common Myths About Hair Growth Shampoos

Your well-being is deeply connected to how you perceive yourself, and physical characteristics like your hair and body image may play a significant role. When you feel confident in your appearance, it often radiates into other aspects of your life. But for many, hair loss can feel like a barrier to that confidence.

Is thinning hair or a receding hairline on your mind? You’re not alone. While hair loss is a common concern, not everyone wants to take medication or undergo invasive treatments like hair transplants. Fortunately, simpler, less invasive, and more affordable options are available.

At Hair Doc in Cow Hollow, San Francisco, we’re proud to help patients of all ages rejuvenate their hairlines with innovative treatments like Procrinix® hair growth shampoo. In this guide, we’ll break down how these treatments work and debunk some of the myths you might have heard along the way.

Procrinix – three easy steps to a better hairline 

You probably want to battle hair loss in the easiest, most efficient way. Luckily, this method can easily be integrated into your morning shower. Procrinix is a powerful three-step solution that features synthesized biomimetic peptides and natural plant extracts that help nourish a healthy scalp creating an environment for healthy hair. 

Here’s how the system works:

Shampoo 

Lather wet hair with the shampoo and work it from the roots to the ends. Rinse the suds out of your hair completely and squeeze out extra water if needed, as the conditioner works best on damp hair.

Conditioning mask

The conditioning mask has a thickening recipe that provides nutrition and hydration for your hair. Apply about a quarter-sized amount to your hair to saturate the ends. Let it sit on for 1-2 minutes before rinsing it out.

Solution

Completely dry your hair and apply the topical solution to your scalp twice daily, focusing on areas where you’ve experienced hair loss. Massage the solution into balding areas and leave it on for at least thirty minutes. 

Debunking the myths

With hair loss solutions, sometimes it can be hard to know where to start. There’s a lot of noise around hair loss treatments, and sometimes, telling the truth from myth can help you decide if it's right for you. Here we set the facts straight: 

Myth 1: Hair shampoos don’t work

Some people believe that hair shampoos don’t work. Individual results vary with every treatment, and while Procrinix is designed to support scalp health and limit hair loss, it may not completely regrow hair. 

Procrinix works by stimulating hair follicles to help pave the way for optimal healthy hair growth. The formula also helps prevent hair shedding and hair loss, which experts agree are helpful in preserving your mane.

Myth 2: Results happen immediately

Hair growth has four stages: anagen, catagen, telogen, and exogen. It takes hair approximately 2-7 years to complete a cycle, with the most time spent in the active growth phase (3-5 years). The results of hair restoration aren’t immediate.

Most patients see results within 4-6 months of consistent use, but results often peak around 12 months of consistent use. 

Myth 3: You can stop treatment once you have results

Hair restoration requires ongoing and consistent treatment. Discontinuing Procrinix for any reason may lead to previous hair loss patterns, so it’s best to continue using it as directed. 

Myth 4: Procrinix is a standalone treatment

Hair loss results are best accrued when a series of comprehensive treatments are used. While some people do use Procrinix as their only treatment, you will receive the best results if you use it with other treatments like medication, laser cap, and/or a hair transplant
