Post subject:  I think I'm quitting Nizoral 2%
It is making my hair fall out when I use it. I know this because on the off days when I use my regular shampoo I have hardly any hairs shed. On Niz days it is at least 12-20 hairs. No comparison.

Do people often have problems with Niz, or is this unusual? This is frustrating to me as I want to be doing as much as possible for hairloss. Other than Niz I take Propecia, but would like to add to my regimen.

Do you suppose it is connected to the shampoo I presoak it with (Jasons tea tree), or that I am leaving it in for too long or rubbing too vigorously?

Could I be allergic to it?

Lastly, can I use 1% or Revita?

Please help, I want to strengthen my regimen but don't want to worsen hairloss. Thanks.

How often do you use niz?

I also shed on niz, but only use it once a week. Got rid of inflammation, so i keep using it.. Maybe you apply too much/often?

Niz wreaked havoc on my scalp. Made me lose a lot of hair. Now I'm using T/Gel...I'm loving it!

I have great results with 1% Nizoral. I'm using it 3 times a week. I was also prewash my hair with other shampoo but I stopped it. Now I prewash with Nizoral then wash it off after around a minute then I wash my hair with nizoral again and leave it for around 4-5 min.
I never had any bad experience with Nizoral shampp.

I get the same "shed" when I use Niz.

I used to use Niz pretty much everyday and I didn't notice any shed. I started noticing the "shed" only when i switched to 2x week Niz.

IMO, what we experience isn't a shed in a sense that we lose more hairs than we should, but the powerful Niz makes the telogene hairs fall off.

Yes, there is "statistical evidence" that it works.... Search the forums, you'll find the info you are looking for.

Works as in gets rid of dandruff and kill fungi. Thats it, nothing more.
