Nizoral - 1% helpful for hair loss?

[Redhill]

Or does it have to be the 2%?

Looking to use this once a week.

Also, what shampoos do others use to complement this?

 

[Redhill]

Nizoral helps with inflamation of the scalp, some people who experiance male pattern baldness have an inflamed scalp, which will feel itchty, tight, or sensative, Nizoral helps fight this, it works well. Also, ketazole, the active ingrediant in Nizoral, dilates the hairshaft by as much as 7% which can give the appearance of thicker hair.

Thanks for the response.

Does 1% work at all for hair loss or does it have to be 2%?

Yes

All the studies I've seen have used 2% ketoconazole concetrations.

Topical Ketoconazole (Nizoral) Increases Hair Growth in Mice

2% Nizoral Shampoo Increases Hair Growth in Men with Male Pattern Baldness

2% Nizoral Shampoo Increases Hair Growth More than 2% Minoxidil

But based on anecdotal evidence, 1% seems to work too.

Thanks for the information. One of these studies was based on using Nizoral 1-4x per week.

However, most only use it 1-2 x per week and supplement with another shampoo.

Any thoughts about frequency? I was only going to use it once per week or so...

I'm using nizoral 3 times a week but I think I will go for 4x a week soon. I dont have any problems with dry scalp so I think I will use it 4 times a week.
Once a week may be not enough.. why do u want to use nizoral only 1-2 times a week???

Any thoughts about frequency? I was only going to use it once per week or so...

You can just buy the 1% and still see similar results to the 2%. With some of these drugs, more of an ingredient doesn't necessarily mean it will be more effective. Check out this study.

I don't know, really. I guess you'd just have to try it out and see what happens.
