    TLDR Selenium sulfide shampoo doesn't affect hair growth or rest phases.
    In a study examining the effects of selenium sulfide shampoo, researchers found no significant impact on the percentages of growing and resting hairs after both a single application and prolonged exposure. The study compared a selenium sulfide suspension with a preparation lacking selenium sulfide, and neither showed a notable difference in hair growth or rest phases.
