Is It Normal To Experience Increased Shedding When Starting Keto Shampoo?

[HairyLoss]

I just recently started 2% ketozonacole shampoo and the first couple of days i barely shed any hair but about a week later i've been having some of my worst sheds ever. Is this normal or should I stop using it?

I get terrible sheds whenever I start ketoconazole shampoos. It's so bad that I can't continue using them.

The sheds are so bad that the promise of those hairs coming back isn't enough. As much as I need a booster in the hair dept I still can't use it without seeing more and more scalp.

Does the shedding persist even when you don't shower with ketoconazole shampoo? I shed more hair when I shower with ketoconazole shampoo, but not with regular shampoo. So I use ketoconazole shampoo only once a week.

Same here, I use a keto once a week tops. I can't say I've seen benefits to it. Sometimes I think it makes me itch even much more.

I'm no expert and simply follow what I've read in studies but from what I've read keto does help with hairloss, it's even comparable to minoxidil. And in combination with other treatments every study I has found it to be more effective with keto.

Some studies I've bookmarked.

For real, when I started taking it I started feeling a couple bumps on my head. I've heard keto burn (overuse) is supposedly a thing and that the hair shed will come back, I can only hope.
