The first thing you need to do is talk to a dermatologist who specializes in treating hair loss.

There is no shampoo that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of hair loss.

The only products that work to treat hereditary hair loss are:

Rogaine - or generic Minoxidil.

Propecia - or generic Finasteride (for men)

Anti-androgens (for women)

Low level laser therapy

These treatments above do not work for everyone. Some people will get results from one or more of these treatments, while others will not get any results from any of these treatments. I am a firm believer in covering all the bases and attacking the problem with everything currently available and appropriate for you, but you start with talking to a doctor who specializes in treating hair loss.
