Can using baby shampoo like Johnson & Johnson actually lead to more hair fall for adults? I've been using it and noticed my hair shedding a lot more than usual. Is it possible that baby shampoo isn't good for adult hair, or is there something else causing this? Would love some insights on whether I should switch shampoos or if there's another underlying reason for the hair fall.

Baby shampoo is generally mild and gentle, but it may not provide enough nourishment for adult hair. In some cases, using baby shampoo can lead to increased hair fall in adults. I recommend switching to a shampoo specifically designed for adult hair, such as Pantene Pro-V or Head & Shoulders, and make sure to use a conditioner as well. Additionally, consider using a hair serum or oil to help strengthen your hair and reduce hair fall.
