shampooing twice a day?

[CCS]

I have 4 shampoos I want to rotate, and I think once per 4 days is a bit infrequent. Would shampooing twice a day be bad? What if one of them is a babyshampoo base?

Nizoral 1%
Piroctone Olamine
NANO (to be replaced with spironolactone baby shampo)
GTE/apple poly

I guess I could drop the GTE/apply poly, and just apply those in a water/alcohol mixture after my shampooing, before my minoxidil. Then that one be one shampoo per day, every 3rd day.

I think people using revivogen could easily shampoo twice a day because the revivogen would replace a lot of oils.

It will probably make your hair look like sh*t, if you have very short hair that shouldn't be a problem though. I could also imagine washing that many times a day is not good for general scalp health, causing irritations.

Personally I think you expect too much of what all this stuff can do for your hair. These few extra washes are probably going to make no difference, considering all the stuff you are taking already.

Btw what do you mean by Proscar 1.25 'MWFS' with whole milk yoghurt? And why are you taking it that way?

i try not to wash with shampoo more then once a day, as of right now i use jasons thin to thick 3 days out of the week conditioner twice and the other days nizoral. everyones hair is dif tho some people can wash their hair 3 times a day and still be so oily and derty, then if your like me your hair gets very dry if you wash to much, and college chemistry your regime seems crazy and time consuming hows it going for you, and do you think if you started finasteride say at 18 instead of 23 you wouldn't need as much tools in your arsenal?

I wish I had started at 18. Yes, if I did finasteride and nizoral at 18, I doubt I'd be bald at all. Right now I look just barely OK, but can't afford to lose more, and am using cosmetic cover ups. I'd like to regrow the thin light collored hairs, and maintain the rest.


I take 1/4 of a proscar pill 4x per week. I eat it with fat so that the finasteride, which is fat soluble, is absorbed with the fat into the lymphatic system, bipassing the liver first pass, so that I get a little more and have the effect of the regular dose. I'm saving money by taking it 4x per week instead of 7x per week.


The regimen is OK to follow. I just was bothered last night when my hair was clean and I did not feel like showering.

i wash twice daily on most days. i believe alot of people in my country also wash twice daily without problem. it warm down here whole year round so there is not much of an option.

ccs....i would do nano 3x a week, nizoral and PO 2x a week.

are you using the ginger PO shampoo from the body shop?

I'm in a colder dryer climate so washing twice daily sounds like a pretty bad idea to me. I think emu oil and essential oils have helped me quite a lot in terms of the texture of my hair since I shampoo more frequently now.

Does anyone think emu oil every night would effect the absorption of topicals. I does wash off of course but not 100% if I apply a generous amount.

 

[Renegade]

Emu is known to be an strong penetrator/carrier through the skin. This should should "carry" and increase the absorption of any topicals applied before it.
