Is Nizoral 1% ok? Gotta have a prescription for 2%...

All Walgreens had was Nizoral 1%, cant get the stronger stuff without a perscription. Will that do? If so, how often should I use it? Every day? I think you're only supposed to use 2% like twice per week.

either way it's not gunna rescue your hair. seems to work well in combination with other treatments (finasteride and min) but i think using 1% nizoral will be just fine as long as it's with something else ;)

1% caused me more hair loss sghedding..

2% treated my itchy scalp and been on it for 6months and it is good stuff.
It wont cure hairloss on its own but certainly helps with scalp fungal problems or dandruff

I use 1% like 3 times a week and I think my hair and scalp are definately healthier from it.

If you want the same effect as the 2% just apply lots of the 1% when showering lol

That being said you'll wanna be on a proper treatment like min or finasteride as well

I'm using nizoral 1% every day and a half, so about 4 times a week. My scalp still itches a little sometimes but can we really expect to totally stop scratching our heads entirely? :p

Anyway, try it for a month or two. What matters is whether or not you get the "tingling" on your scalp. Itchiness (as in urgent, gotta scratch right now) is one thing, but the tingling spells hair loss.

ive been using 1% for over a year and Id say it definitely helped out a little bit in my hairloss battle.

Ive been contemplating switching to 2% but im afraid it might be keto overload on my hair.
