I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I have to say I'm very happy I've found this forum. I've definitely gained a lot of information from everyone who posts on here within the last few days of reading the posts. Although it sucks to be losing hair it's nice to know I'm not alone and advances towards hair restoration are being made all the time.

On to my question. I recently decided to consult a dermotologist so I can get a prescription for propecia. I also just ordered some of the Rogaine 5% foam on-line. My hair isn't terrible yet, but it is definitely starting to thin on top. I'm hoping the propecia will halt the thinning and the Rogaine will thicken my scalp up a bit more. I've read a little about Nizoral, and I was wondering what exactly it does and how it benefits hair restoration?

Thanks in advance for any help.

also do a search on Revita. It is another great shampoo and is a bit more gentle than Nizoral

Thanks for your responses guys, they were very helpful.

I have one more question. If I were to use the Nizoral or Revita along with the Propecia and Rogaine, how often should I use the Nizoral or Revita? Is that an everyday thing?

Nizoral is not recommended for every day use, I myself use it twice a week but have read can also be used three times a week. On the days I don't use Nizoral I myself use Nisim which works good for me.
