Everyone doesn't have full on success. Especially not enough to post in the "Success Stories" area. But maybe just a little success. Or just a small area resolved. Or just shedding slowed or stopped. Or minor regrowth in one area. So what has helped you? What's helped for one may help for others. As for me I have finally gotten my daily once 300 hair loss a day down to maybe 10 strings a day. Its the topicals. I use ketoconazole 2% twice a week and Rogaine about 3 - 4 times a week...... Initially because I have dry hair, my biggest obstacle was not being able to use keto much because it tangled and dried my hair to no end even with conditioners. But this is one of my successes, I GOT THE KETOCONAZOLE placed into a shampoo that's right for my hair type by a COMPOUNDING PHARMACIST. If Nizoral is to harsh for you, find a shampoo that works great for your hair and have the keto placed into it by a compounding pharmacist.......NEXT if Rogaine is to harsh in the alcohol, do know a comp. pharm. can place it in an oil. I had to try more than one to get this done but, the one I have now have figured out how to place it in an oil without having a 'wet' oil. In other words if you flat iron your hair you don't want to put the rogaine oil on it and your hair frizzes up again. So the current comp. pharm. dissolves the minoxidil first in the alcohol or whatever then let it DRIES. THEN he can put it in the oil. Viola! Rogaine in an oil formula. So my successes have been getting keto and minoxidil in formulations that I could use. For the first time I'm having the best success which is hardly no shedding. It's best to do the topicals or more of them and less of the anti androgens which I do use but in low low dose. Also, I place the keto shampoo on my scalp and sleep in it. That helps keep the shedding down TREMENDOUSLY.

*Highly* unadvised! Any shampoo on the skin for prolonged periods of time can and very well might cause severe damage to the skin. Do not do this unless you are aware of the risks.

Thanks so much for the warning. I've had the keto compounded in a very moisturizing, unabrasive shampoo. Matter of fact it is a conditioning shampoo and very very soothing. It doesn't even have any sulfates. These are also the same reasons that I have the keto placed into this specific shampoo. I've tried it for like about 3mos and it's done nothing to my scalp but it has TREMENDOUSLY reduced my hair fall. As for the regular commercially available Nizoral or keto shampoo, most people's hair nevertheless their skin can even tolerate that incredibly STRONG stuff!
