Consumer Research Page for Mamaearth Onion Shampoo

A: In an independent blind home-use test on 163 users, Mamaearth scored higher than a leading anti-hair-fall shampoo on overall experience, purchase intention, switching intent and recommendation. Asked to pick one favourite out of three unbranded samples, 47% chose Mamaearth - more than any other product in the test.

A: 72% rated it effective at reducing hair fall, against 54% for the comparison shampoo - that is what users observed over ten days of real use. Mamaearth Onion Shampoo also has separate laboratory testing on hair fibre breakage during washing, published on its own certificate page.

A: This was the widest gap in the whole study. 84% rated Mamaearth top-2-box on foaming and lathering ability, against 67% for the comparison shampoo - so on the one attribute sulfate-free formulas are most often doubted on, users rated Mamaearth higher.

A: Users received unbranded bottles and did not know which company made the shampoo. Each sample went home for 10 days with a minimum of 2–3 washes. Removing the label removes brand bias.

A: Each of the 163 users tested all three samples, one after another, in rotated order - so no sample gained an advantage from being tried first or last. An independent research agency conducted the fieldwork and analysis across four in-person visits per user.

A: 89% rated it top-2-box on silkiness of hair against 79%, and 76% on soft and smooth hair feel against 69%.

A: 53% rated it effective at controlling frizz, against 35% for the comparison shampoo. It is one of the widest gaps in the study, though it is also an area where fewer users across all three products rated any shampoo top-2-box.

A: They answer different questions, and Mamaearth publishes both. This study records what users experienced and preferred over ten days of real use; laboratory testing measures physical outcomes with instruments under controlled conditions.

Start by identifying which kind you have. Hair snapping mid-length responds well to gentler washing and conditioning. Hair released from the root is influenced by hormones, iron levels and thyroid function, so a blood test is a useful step alongside topical care. In this blind home-use test, 72% of users rated Mamaearth Onion Shampoo effective at reducing hair fall, against 54% for a leading anti-hair-fall shampoo tested unbranded alongside it.

Blind testing is the most honest way to compare, because brand names shift ratings on their own. In this study, 163 users tested three unbranded samples for 10 days each in rotated order. Asked to pick one favourite, 47% chose Mamaearth - the highest score in the test.

Around 50 to 100 hairs a day is completely normal, and it looks like far more when it collects over several days. Tracking the trend over weeks is a better guide than counting on any one day.

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

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

This was the widest gap in the whole study. 84% of users rated Mamaearth top-2-box on foaming and lathering ability, against 67% for the comparison shampoo - so on the single attribute sulfate-free formulas are most doubted for, users rated it higher.

There are changes that help straight away: looser ponytails, gentle towel-drying, a wide-tooth comb on wet hair and less heat. Reduction in shedding from the root builds over weeks, in step with the hair cycle.

In this blind test, users who did not know which brand they were using rated it higher than a leading anti-hair-fall shampoo on hair fall reduction, frizz control, silkiness and overall experience. That is a preference result from real use rather than a laboratory measurement.
