I personally like nizoral. For me, it creates a good environment for hair growth. I noticed it makes my hair darker and thicker with continued use.
It is very drying, but my hair got used to it. I remember one person saying his doctor called it fertilizer for hair. I tend to agree with this idea.
Also, I have heard folks on here say it made things worse for them. I can not discount others personal experiences, but I can say that Nizoral is part of the big 3 for a reason.
*If you want to experiment with nizoral in a safer way, try putting it on some body hair like arm or leg. For me, it thickens and darkens all hair including on the body.
I'm not sure if I respond in a special way to ketoconazole, but I doubt it. It's one of those things that take careful observation and patience.
If you are on finasteride and min I don't think its too terribly important. It helps though. Hope this answers your question.
