Nizoral vs. New Head & Shoulders

[Renegade]

It's about time to make another purchase. I know Aplunk was/is a big fan of H&S. What do you guys think about the new H&S Intensive Solutions line? It's got 2% zinc-piro. Opinions?

It's a very beneficial shampoo to use.

However, I would not use it instead of Nizoral, but rather use it in addition to it, cycling both with your non-medicated shampoo of choice on off days.

sounds like the same stuff in old head and shoulders

I use the intensive solutions stuff and I love it.

Would this be overkill on my scalp then?

Nizoral 1% M/W/F
H&S 2% T/R/S/S

 

[The Gardener]

This is always a judgement call, some people have sensitive scalps and others have bulletproof ones.

I'd suggest using nizoral 2-3 times a week, H&S 2-3 times a week, and I would use a non-medicated on the off days. I think the non-medicated would help prevent buildups, which medicated shampoos tend to leave on hair.

Again, this is very much a personal judgement call. Shampoos are really a matter for one to try and experiment with to find a mix that works for you and makes your hair feel good.

Would using 1% nizoral only once a week have much of an effect? I honestly don't like shampooing my hair more than once every one or two weeks....makes my hair really poofy and hard to style.

You're lucky... when I sleep, I get bed head that can only be correct by washing my hair. and it's not a cool bed head either.... from what I read, you're supposed to use nizoral about at least twice a week, which is what I use, and then I use thickening shampoo/conditioner and then moisturizers to contain my fro.

Once every one to two weeks? Scary.

if you condition after nizoral it wont look 'poofy' at all. itll look fully red blooded alpha male in fact.

Should always wash hair every 2-3 days at most to keep scalp clean and avoid sebum buildup to clog folicles. Leaving it a week is not good and you would have to have a very dry scalp to be able to..suggest eating more oily foods in this case..fish, dairy products etc
