Hi, I recently tried out a new shampoo and conditioner set called Herbal Essences Hello Hydration. It has silicone in it, and can help improve shine quality in your hair, so I gave it a shot. I noticed afterwards more hair coming out after I rinsed the shampoo and conditioner out, but thought it was just natural. I switched shampoo and conditioner for a bit, came back to the Hello Hydration set, and when I rinsed out a clump of hair immediately came out between my fingers.Is this coincidence, or do you think there is a relation??? Please help!!!
Maybe it is a coincidence. If the shampoo actually causes hair loss, I am sure it would have never been introduced/sold. I have personally used the shampoo before and did not experience anything different. If you believe there is a relation, then I would suggest not using it.

I’ve experienced the same thing with the old version of Herbal Essences 4 years ago and even when I stopped using it after a few uses of it, my hair is STILL continuing to fall out!!! I’m planning on taking action on these hair beauty companies to a cosmetics and beauty organization so that they will BAN the use of whatever it may be to cause the dramatic hair loss to their customers like the both of us!
I literally just had the same thing happen to me with their Hello Hydration product. After I had started using the shampoo and conditioner, I noticed a significant amount of hair loss in the proceeding months. However, I had no clue as to what started the hair loss/thinning, as my hair had never been like that before. I switched shampoo & conditioner randomly, then noticed it started happening less. Upon finishing the new conditioner, I tried using the Hello Hydration one again… low & behold, unusual amounts of hair came out when I started rinsing it out of my hair. I refuse to ever use this product again.
