I enjoyed your perspective. Im a hairstylist. I recommend this for many of my clients. It is well formulated shampoo and conditioner that is gentle, and does not buuid up, thereby helping to improve the health of the scalp, and leaving the hairshaft stronger. Stronger hair, means less breaking. Its also a great choice for people who are worried about sulfates, parabins, and silicone. It does not strip color treated hair. I personally think the Gold Lable version is a wonderful product. You should try it. Very often, hair loss is actually breakage, or excessive shedding related to build up, and this really can help. As far as hair loss due to genetics or medical issues, ,no, it wont help.
