The big 3 - Why nizoral?!

[ginger-uk]

I can understand why MIN and finasteride are classed as the two big tools to fight hairloss, but why Nizoral shampoo?

I have nizoral, but I'm not sure how often to use it? I have a buzzed (#0) head too.

Is there an obvious answer?

in a 6 month study nizoral was shown to grow as much as 2 percent minoxidil. plus its cheap and easy to do twice a week.

if you find that shampoo too harsh - try Piroctone Olamine based shampoo.

Thanks for the info guys. I only use 1% nizoral is that a problem? I've not seen 2% in the uk.

In the UK, Nizoral is a 2% formulation. Nizorelle is the 1%.

I bought this http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1046273&classificationid=1037299 you think thats 2%? It doesn't quote anything on the bottle!

I'm currently using it twice a week, but have notices a bit of flakey scalp so I might up it to 3 times a week. What do people think to that?

thats the one. i thought nizoral was supposed to clear up an irritated scalp rather than cause it so not sure on that one.

will nizoral 1% work as well as 2%

 

[stampede]

will nizoral 1% work as well as 2%

Common consensus is "yes".

I use the 2% 'cos it's cheap, my scalp likes it and at the very least, it can't be worse than 1%.
