If you’ve been searching online for an anti-hair fall shampoo, we’re confident that you’re going to come across a ton of products, from clinical shampoos to herbal and natural alternatives. That being said, it helps to know how in most (if not all) of these haircare products, there are natural ingredients to stop hair fall that provide key benefits.
In this article, we’ll help you discover five natural ingredients that can help address hair loss. One of these natural sources is moringa oil, which is a primary ingredient in our herbal anti-hair fall shampoo.
What to Look Out For When Buying Anti-Hair Fall Products
As mentioned earlier, there are many different types of haircare products in the market designed to address a common issue, which is hair fall. It’s not uncommon to be skeptical around a solution that addresses an immaculate pain point like hair loss, because if it weren’t so difficult to address, why are there so many options to choose from, right?
So, in finding a haircare solution to hair fall, you will likely encounter promising products that boast of regrowing hair, stopping hair loss, or resurrecting an already gone hairline. And to be fair to all these product manufacturers, some of these shampoos, conditioners, and oils can be effective, while others, not so much.
A piece of advice: check out our list of five natural ingredients to stop hair fall to help you better discern if the haircare product you’re buying is likely going to be any effective. You can also check these articles to find out why hair loss happens to women and how effective is moringa for hair loss.

The 5 Natural Ingredients to Stop Hair Fall
To avoid prolonging the agony of reading the entire article, here’s a list of the five natural ingredients that can possibly help you address falling or thinning hair:
- Moringa Oil
- Rosemary Oil
- Pumpkin Seed Oil
- Horsetail Extract
- Niacin
And here are other ingredients better referred to as DHT blockers, which help address male pattern baldness, and are found in some men’s anti-hair loss shampoos:
- Ketoconazole
- Salicylic Acid
- Pyrithione Zinc
As a provider of herbal skin, scalp, and haircare products, Moringa-O2 is committed to delivering a gentle yet effective everyday solution perfect for all Filipinos—so, let’s get to the list!
Moringa Oil
Obviously, moringa oil is the key ingredient in every bottle of Moringa-O2, alongside sunflower, olive, and argan oil. But moringa oil alone already delivers a range of nutrients that include:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Zinc
- Silica
- Iron
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- Selenium
- Manganese
- Copper
Historically used across many cultures around the world, moringa goes by many names: malunggay, drumstick tree, ben oil, and horseradish tree, to cite a few. Its uses range from cooking to home care treatments, and because of its range of health benefits, it has become popular as a “super plant.”
Extracted as oils, moringa’s health benefits nourish the scalp and hair, thus promoting hair growth by keeping the oil glands and hair follicles healthy. With a healthy scalp environment, hair growth is stronger and the hair becomes less prone to falling, breakage, or dryness.
Try the Moringa-O2 Herbal Anti-Hairfall Shampoo with Argan Oil, which combines moringa oil with nature’s most powerful herbal actives for healthier, stronger, and thicker hair!
Effective for both men and women, this herbal shampoo with moringa oil is made for Filipinos with weak, thinning, and falling hair.
Rosemary Oil
In a few scientific studies, it has been concluded that rosemary oil offers health benefits that promote hair growth, similar to the way that minoxidil works, an antihypertensive vasodilator and FDA-approved medication for hair loss and high blood pressure. And in this specific study, it was found that rosemary oil was less prone to incur any of the medication’s negative side effects, such as itchiness in the scalp.
Meanwhile, in another study of rosemary oil’s effects, it was seen that a concoction of oils (which included rosemary) showed effectiveness in treating alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that leads to patches of hair loss.
So, if you’re looking for haircare products and come across a bottle of shampoo featuring rosemary oil in the label, don’t be so surprised, as it does have positive effects that can help combat hair loss.
Pumpkin Seed Oil
Pumpkin Seed Oil is another natural ingredient that can be used in haircare products like shampoos and conditioners for hair loss. Research has shown how pumpkin seed oil helps thicken hair and improve its growth rate.
In a scientific study, individuals experiencing male pattern baldness were made to take a supplement based on pumpkin seed oil for 24 weeks, and the corresponding results of the study showed a 40% improvement in hair count. On the one hand, the men who had been made to take a placebo showed a 10% increase in hair growth.
That being said, the use of pumpkin seed oil in hair growth has largely been through oral means. But this hasn’t stopped the production of haircare products like anti-hair fall shampoos in showcasing pumpkin seed oil as a key ingredient.
Horsetail Extract
Horsetail extract has been widely used in many men’s anti-hair fall shampoos and conditioners, and it’s been quite the wild trend. Given its silicon content, impact on collagen, and antioxidant properties, horsetail extract is a natural ingredient often used with a blend of other anti-hair fall ingredients to deliver a popular solution to falling or thinning hair.
That being said, most evidence of its efficacy have been considered anecdotal, though it can’t hurt to try – so long as you don’t have any allergies.
In the studies that covered horsetail extract’s capability to influence hair growth and prevent hair loss, one research concluded that after a nine-month period of silicon dosing, there had been improved resistance to hair breakage. It is believed that the silicon in horsetail extract helps give the hair texture suitable for cleaning, all while improving the rate of hair growth, reducing dandruff, and boosting blood circulation in the scalp.
And similar to our herbal anti-hair fall shampoo, horsetail extract also provides antioxidant properties, which address free radicals that can damage the hair follicles. Along with its natural antioxidants, it is also suggested that horsetail extract’s phytochemicals support improved hair health.
Whether you’d like to buy into the hype of horsetail extract as an effective natural ingredient, we’re leaving the decision for those willing to try, as it has shown potential.
Niacin
Niacin, which is also known as Vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid, is an essential human nutrient found in many hair loss shampoos for men. Why is this the case? It’s because of scientific research, of course. It has been studied how niacin and its derivatives have successfully triggered hair growth in areas of the scalp that have shown hair loss.
It’s important to note how the participants of the said study were females, unlike in earlier-mentioned research studies focused on male pattern baldness.
Niacin is vital for hair growth through the way it helps improve blood circulation in the scalp, thus enabling better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, which consequently leads to healthier and stronger hair. And eventually, results to faster and thicker hair growth.
The daily recommendation for niacin to take for hair growth are: 16 mg for men and 14 mg for women.
DHT Blockers
While exclusive to men’s hair loss shampoos, it is worth mentioning how DHT-blocking ingredients can also help address hair fall.
Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, is a hormone that can cause male pattern baldness, which is why limiting its production can help combat falling hair.
Let’s quickly go through these DHT-blocking ingredients for our male readers out there:
- Ketoconazole is primarily designed to mitigate fungal growth and treat fungal skin infections, but it is also used in shampoos as an ingredient for dandruff, skin rashes, and hair loss. Its capability to potentially block the DHT pathway is key to its efficacy in addressing male pattern baldness.
- Salicylic acid is another active ingredient that serves to not only address acne, but also hair loss. It is mostly known for its capability to regulate sebum production in the scalp, which can contain DHT, so in the process of controlling oil production, it also effectively reduces the amount of DHT in the scalp.
- Pyrithione zinc, which is often used to treat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, can also help with hair loss through its potential to stimulate hair growth. A study showed that a shampoo with pyrithione zinc helped trigger mild hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia. And while not as powerful as the previous ingredients, it is still worth mentioning.
