Question:
What is a good readily available high protein shampoo?

I never heard of "Sally's Beauty Supply" and their Nutri-Ox shampoo and conditioner so I would imagine this isn't in my area. I need something that I can purchase in a store in my area which is in Amenia, NY. Thanks so much.    — Catherine B. (posted on June 14, 2005)

When I had my WLS, I asked the lady that cuts my hair, because she had WLS and she told me that she used Biotin shampoo. I have used Biolage since my surgery and you can get it at Walmart, drug stores, or places like Cost Cutters and it doesn't cost much, and works great. I also get the detangler.

Hello, Since this question is posted under the heading avoiding hair loss, I thought I might offer the following information: With the exception of Rogaine(minoxidol), there isn't anything that can be applied to the head/hair to prevent hair loss or cause hair regrowth. This webpage has some interesting info on hairloss, although it specifcally addresses hair loss due to heredity and not due to dietary defiency: http://www.drugs.com/hair-loss.html Hair is made up of layers of dead keratinized cells... once it has left the hair follicule (and becomes visible) it is no longer living. High protein shampoo might make your existing hair look shinier/healthier/fuller but it won't prevent it from falling out. If you are losing hair due to a lack of protein, probably the only way a high protein shampoo will help you is if you eat it. As someone who once decided that shampoo might be tasty, I can assure it isn't! (I was 3 or 4 and the shampoo was the same color as iced tea so I thought I'd have a little sip.. bleh!) Nutri-Ox Shampoo sounds really expensive so I thought I would pass on the info about hair re-growth in case you were looking for shampoo to prevent hair loss. On the other hand, it will probably make the hair that you already have look nicer. Best wishes, Sid

Right here on this website, go to their store, and click on bath & beauty, the top product is Bari-essentials, it is supposed to help with hair loss because of the protein content in it. I think it is also sold at walmart. Stormy

I use Pantene Full and Thick. I have since I was 8 months post op. It does awesome. If you are looking for something a little more along the lines of hair loss and regrowth, my beutician recommends Nioxin. But she says it takes 8 months of daily use to even start to see regrowth, but once it does start the results are excellent, according to her. I have never tried it.
