"Three thousand troublesome threads" is worrying, and "one day to get rid of" is even more upsetting. The rumors of hair loss are getting more and more outrageous, let's recognize the true face of those "bald" as they come from.
Will eating MSG make people lose their hair? Unreliable!
"Eating MSG will make people lose their hair", I believe many people have heard of it, so is this statement reliable?
MSG is not a chemical synthetic product but a fermentation industrial product, which is generally fermented by "Corynebacter glutamate" in the starch liquid. The main component of MSG is sodium glutamate, which can be converted into glutamine and tyrosine into the human body, becoming an important part of the body's protein and not losing people's hair at all.

"Eat" out of baldness, similar statements have been repeatedly rumored, in addition to monosodium glutamate, meat, milk, garlic and other foods have also "lying gun", although reducing the intake of high-oil food helps to improve the scalp environment, but does not mean that no intake of meat, milk and other foods, nutritional balance is more important; the so-called "garlic contains a lot of vitamin A, eating will make people lose hair" The statement lacks scientific basis, the appropriate amount of vitamin A is necessary for the healthy growth of hair, the vitamin A content in garlic is not high, and it is not advisable to talk about the harm of the dose.
Does "silicone oil" in shampoo cause hair loss? exaggerate!
Many people talk about "silicon" discoloration, believing that the silicone oil (generally referred to as polydimethylsiloxane) in shampoo products is the "culprit" that causes clogged scalp pores and hair loss.

There is currently no evidence that silicone oil can clog scalp pores and cause hair loss. Silicone oil has been approved by regulatory authorities in various countries around the world and is safe and widely used in cosmetics. High-purity silicone oil is virtually non-toxic and difficult to absorb into the skin. The hydrophobic membrane formed by the silicone oil on the scalp is breathable and does not clogg the pores of the scalp. In addition, when shampooing, most of the silicone oil will be rinsed off, and it will hardly remain on the hair follicle, let alone be absorbed by the hair follicle.
Not only silicone oil, but also sodium laureth sulfate in shampoos, which was once rumored to cause hair loss, but this claim also lacks evidence. It should be reminded that the cleansing ingredient has strong degreasing power and is easy to irritate the skin, if the scalp is sensitive, it is best to choose a mild amino acid shampoo.
Can exfoliation of the scalp cure hair loss? There is no scientific truth!
It is said that "too much dandruff, the pores of the scalp are blocked, and the best shampoo can not enter the nutrition, resulting in hair loss, at this time you need to exfoliate the scalp."

The so-called treatment of hair loss by removing keratin is not scientific. Normal people's scalp can be washed and protected daily, and there is no need to deliberately exfoliate. If the abnormal increase in dandruff will affect the growth of hair to a certain extent, but it will generally not cause hair loss. If there is a hair loss problem, do not blindly listen to the unscrupulous business "flickering".
In addition to this seemingly "scientific" treatment of hair loss, there are many folk remedies such as "thick salt soup coated hair roots", "beer washing", "eating black sesame seeds" and so on, all of which are unreliable. There are many reasons for hair loss, it is recommended to go to the dermatology department (hair loss clinic) of a regular hospital for treatment, clarify the cause, formal treatment, and the right medicine is the key to relieving hair worries.
