Seeing hairs in the shower or on a hairbrush is normal. Since your scalp contains lots of additional hair to compensate for the daily loss, losing hair typically has little impact on your appearance. But if a person starts losing a lot of hair, that can be a problem. If you notice bald spots or patches on your scalp, there may be a more serious cause, such as genetics, hormones, thyroid issues, or other illnesses. Can a Shampoo Cause Hair Loss?

What is Linoleic Acid? Linoleic acid, whose name is derived from the Greek words "linon," which means "flax," and "oleic," which means "produced from oil," is an unsaturated fat. Unsaturated fats are essential for encouraging cell regeneration and keeping skin smooth, elastic, and young-looking. Linoleic acid can be used on all skin types, but those with dry or acne-prone skin may find it most beneficial. Acne patients have been demonstrated to have reduced linoleic acid levels in their skin surface lipids. What is Oleic Acid? Oleic acid is a mono-unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid found in various animal and vegetable sources. Oleic acid is considered to be highly stable to oxidation and also can enhance the activity of antioxidants and antipolymerization agents.
