Styling Product Buildup on the Scalp?

May 4 2012, 8:48 am PT | Posted in: Hair Loss Causes

Hello Doctor

I was wandering whether chronic buildup on the scalp (of shampoo and styling products) due to poor hair washing (rare washes, low shower pressure, no thorough washing) could eventually lead to permanent hair loss

Thank you

No. Styling products, shampoo, sebum, regular washing, or irregular washing do not cause permanent hair loss. Genetic inheritance causes hair loss in men for the majority of cases.
