The short answer
No anti-hair-fall shampoo is best for everyone. A good one matches your scalp type, uses gentle cleansers (no SLS/SLES sulfates and no silicone), has ingredient test results from a verifiable institute, and carries a Thai FDA notification number.
If you are looking for a Thai herbal shampoo, AloEx has 3 formulas to choose from by scalp type:
- Oily scalp, sweats easily → AloEx Organic Original Shampoo
- Dry hair; colored, permed or straightened hair → AloEx Organic Black Shampoo
- Sensitive scalp; pregnant or postpartum mothers → AloEx Organic Extra Mild Shampoo
What does an anti-hair-fall shampoo do?
An anti-hair-fall shampoo cleans away the oil, dirt and chemical residue that clog the area around the hair roots, and nourishes the scalp with extracts that help reduce hair fall. But hair loss has many causes, such as genetics, hormones, stress or giving birth, and knowing the cause helps you choose the right product. Read more in 9 causes of hair loss.
If your hair falls out in patches, falls out heavily all of a sudden, or comes with other symptoms, see a dermatologist first.
5 ways to choose the right anti-hair-fall shampoo
1. Choose by scalp type
An oily scalp needs a shampoo that cleans oil well. A dry scalp or chemically treated hair needs a moisturizing formula, and a delicate, sensitive scalp needs an especially gentle one. Using the wrong formula for your scalp can make it oilier or drier.
2. Gentle cleansers
Look for a shampoo without SLS/SLES sulfates, strong cleansers that can irritate or dry out the scalp. Read more in 4 groups of cleansers in shampoo.
3. No silicone
Silicone makes hair feel smooth right after washing, but it can build up and clog the scalp. If you have hair fall, a silicone-free shampoo keeps the scalp cleaner and less congested.
4. Ingredients tested by a verifiable institute
A shampoo that claims to help reduce hair fall should be able to tell you where its ingredients were tested, what was tested and what the results were — not just advertising copy.
5. A Thai FDA number and a standards-certified factory
Cosmetics sold in Thailand must carry a notification number, which you can check on the label or on the Thai FDA website, and should be made in a GMP-certified factory.

Most AloEx users notice less hair fall after 2–3 weeks of regular use. With the shampoo alone, results become clearer at around 4–5 weeks. For hereditary hair loss, keep using it for 2–3 months (5–6 months in severe cases), and pair it with a hair-root serum to see results faster.
Frequently asked questions
Which anti-hair-fall shampoo is best?
No single brand is best for everyone. Choose a shampoo that matches your scalp type, is free from SLS/SLES sulfates and silicone, has ingredient test results from a verifiable institute, and carries a Thai FDA notification number. If you are looking for a Thai herbal shampoo, AloEx has 3 formulas: Original for an oily scalp, Black for dry or chemically treated hair, and Extra Mild for a sensitive scalp and for pregnant or postpartum mothers.
Does an anti-hair-fall shampoo work on its own?
Yes. AloEx shampoo on its own helps reduce hair fall. Most users notice less hair fall within 2–3 weeks and clearer results at around 4–5 weeks of regular use. Using it together with a hair-root serum shows results faster. Results vary from person to person.
Can I use an anti-hair-fall shampoo on colored, permed or straightened hair?
Yes. AloEx shampoo does not strip hair color or loosen perms. The formula we recommend for dry or chemically treated hair is AloEx Organic Black Shampoo.
Can pregnant or postpartum mothers use an anti-hair-fall shampoo?
Every AloEx shampoo formula can be used, but we recommend AloEx Organic Extra Mild Shampoo, an especially gentle formula for delicate scalps and for pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding mothers.
