I don't want receding hairlines. Baldness does not run in my family but I want to take further step of prevention.

Is there a certain chemical in some shampoos that can cause baldness?
What is a good shampoo to use? Head and shoulders?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_laureth_sulfate indeed, it may cause cancer too... <_<

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers 1,4-dioxane to be a probable human carcinogen, meaning that a daily consumption of one gram of 1,4-dioxane over a lifetime would increase the cancer risk by about one part in 3000.[6] Such an intake would correspond to eating liters of "contaminated" sodium laureth sulphate on a daily basis, which would be rather unhealthy because of the sodium laureth sulphate itself, which is not used in products that are intended for oral ingestion.

Baldness is genetic. Either you get it or you don't. Shampoos aren't going to cause baldness.
 
My mom gave me this expensive salon shampoo since I shed a lot of hair.

I still shed a lot of hair. I only shed less when I stopped aggravating my hair so much - I stopped pulling it back, tying it with elastics, styling it with a curling iron, using product, etc.
 
I use Nizoral, which is actually used to treat severe dandruff. Turns out it regrows hair as a side effect. Just google "nizoral hairloss"

Also, there has been studies suggesting that active ingredient in Head & Shoulders actually increase oil production in the scalp.

Quote:
"Analysis of the different parameters set up in the study shows that the hair diameter gradually increased with Nizoral use (+8.46%) over a 6 month period, whereas the diameter showed a trend to decrease with zinc pyrithione use over the same period (-2.28%). The sebum excretion rate was reduced with Nizoral (-6.54%) while it increased with zinc pyrithione (+8.2%) over the same period of time. The number of hair shed over a 24-hour period was reduced by 16.46% with Nizoral and 6.02% with zinc pyrithione after 6 months. Finally, the percentage hairs in anagen phase increased by 6.4% and 8.4% respectively during the study time."

I'm no expert, but I'm not taking any chances with Head & Shoulders!

Also, there is this caffeine shampoo in Germany calls Alpecin which supposedly regrows hair as well...worst case scenario, it might be good to use as morning shampoo to wake you up..?!
