Clinical Certificate for Mamaearth Rosemary Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo

A: It reduces hair breakage during washing. In an in-vitro study on human hair swatches, the shampoo and conditioner recorded up to 93% less hair fall, meaning fewer fibres broke off during the wash. That is real and it is part of the hair you see in the shower, but it is not the same as follicular shedding, which is driven by hormones, health, stress and genetics.

A: Softness and shine are usually noticeable from the first few washes, because they come from deposited conditioning agents. Less breakage builds over several weeks as the hair you already have stops snapping. If your concern is new hair growth rather than breakage, that takes 12 weeks and needs a growth product.

A: Yes, if you want the tested result. The shampoo and conditioner were tested together as a regimen, and hair is most fragile when wet - conditioner reduces the friction during combing that causes most breakage. Apply it to mid-lengths and ends, not the scalp.

A: Yes to both, and this is independently verified. The SIGMA NABL report found no SLS or SLES in the formulation and recorded a foam height of 158 mm against a stated minimum of 150 mm.

A: This study measured fibre strength, breakage, softness and shine, which are fibre endpoints. For growth, the published rosemary research used pure rosemary essential oil applied to the scalp, and the Rosemary Hair Growth Oil was studied over 12 weeks on that endpoint - the two pair well as a routine.

A: You can - it is sulfate-free with a scalp-friendly pH of 5.64. Most people do not need daily washing. Three to four times a week is enough for most hair types.

A: The formula is free of SLS, SLES and silicones, which is the profile generally preferred for coloured hair, and the measured pH of 5.64 sits in the mildly acidic range that helps keep the cuticle closed. Colour retention itself is measured in a separate kind of study.

A: Hair and scalp sit naturally in a mildly acidic range. A shampoo at that pH helps keep cuticle scales lying flat, which means smoother, shinier, less frizz-prone hair that is less vulnerable to mechanical damage. Alkaline shampoos lift the cuticle. This one measured 5.64.

A: Yes, by a separate NABL-accredited laboratory. SIGMA Test & Research Centre (TC-15193) tested batch AAP5B144 and found no detectable lead or arsenic at the stated reporting limit of 0.25 mg/kg, with microbiological counts well inside limits.

A: They address different things and work well together. The shampoo and conditioner reduce breakage and improve fibre condition. The Rosemary Hair Growth Oil was studied on new hair growth over 12 weeks. Oil before washing, then this shampoo and conditioner.

A: It signals the maximum result recorded in the test, reported exactly as the laboratory certified it.

A: It is a general-use hair care product with no age-restricted actives, a scalp-friendly pH and independently verified purity data on the batch tested. Anyone with a specific scalp condition or known allergy should check the ingredient list and patch test first.

Start by identifying which kind you have. Hair snapping mid-length is breakage, and this shampoo and conditioner recorded up to 93% less hair fall in an in-vitro study on hair swatches, meaning fewer fibres broke during washing. Hair coming out from the root is shedding, driven by hormones, iron and thyroid function, and is best addressed alongside your topical routine.

For breakage, one that reduces friction while hair is wet, which is when it is most fragile. This formula uses hydrolysed lupine protein and cationic polymers for exactly that, and measured up to 94% stronger hair alongside the breakage result. It also carries an independent NABL report confirming pH 5.64, no SLS or SLES, and no detectable lead or arsenic on the batch tested.

It is the most studied botanical in this category, with a 2015 randomised trial in men with androgenetic alopecia showing hair count gains comparable to minoxidil 2% at six months. That trial used pure rosemary essential oil applied twice daily to the scalp. This is a shampoo and conditioner, tested in-vitro on hair fibres - the trial explains why rosemary anchors the range, not what these products do.

The published trial suggests rosemary essential oil can, in that population over six months, which is why rosemary anchors this range. A shampoo has a shorter contact time, so if growth is your goal, pair it with a leave-on scalp oil or serum - the Rosemary Hair Growth Oil was studied over 12 weeks on exactly that endpoint.

Around 50 to 100 hairs a day is completely normal. It looks like considerably more when it accumulates over several days, which is why a wash after a gap can seem dramatic - several days of natural shedding simply come out at once.

Indirectly, and usually temporarily - scratching an itchy scalp breaks hairs mechanically. Settling the flaking usually settles the shedding with it.

Iron most commonly, especially in women, then vitamin D and B12, with thyroid function worth checking too. For sudden or ongoing shedding, a simple blood test is the most useful next step alongside your topical routine.

Yes. The NABL report on this shampoo recorded a foam height of 158 mm against a stated 150 mm minimum, achieved without SLS or SLES. Sulfates foam more readily, which is why they are used, but foam and cleaning are not the same thing.

It does. Hair and scalp sit mildly acidic, and a shampoo in that range helps keep cuticle scales lying flat - smoother, shinier, less frizz-prone and less prone to mechanical damage. Alkaline shampoos lift the cuticle. This one measured pH 5.64 under NABL accreditation.
