I use it daily as well. I agree with how I like the fact that it makes my head feel clean and it seems to give my hair volume. As for whether it is bad to use daily, I would not know. However, I don't think there would be an issue other than burning through some rather expensive shampoo faster than usual.

Chris,

I don't see a harm using it every day as long as you don't find that your scalp and hair is getting overly dry. Personally for me, I could only really use it 3 times a week and even then my scalp and hair were drying out.

The study for 2% ketoconazole (active ingredient in Nizoral) was between 2-4 times weekly. I am not positive whether or not using it every day will have any additional benefit.

I used to use it but now I use Revita which is much gentler and has other good ingredients in it as well.

As long as it has the ketoconazole I am ok with it ..

Give it a try

I use nizoral 3 times a week, and nioxin cleansing shampoo (says it gets rid of DHT, but who knows) or a dandruff shampoo alternating inbetween, and then a moisturizing/volumizing shampoo for the rest of the days. we get 2% nizoral relatively cheap here in canada and without prescription.
