Senior Member MrJobi Posted July 16, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2005 Hi I have heard Nioxin does'nt work but Nizoral does . These are so many false claims out there. I had a HT 1417 grafts 4 1/2 months ago. in addition, I started taking Lysine with my propecia and using Nizoral ( it is scientifically proven to increase hair count and volume).. My hair looks 10 x better now , even on the crown where I did not have work done!! The only changes have been Lysine and Nizoral! I am looking forward to seeing myself at 1 year after surgery Good luck JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations.

Senior Member tkerr22 Posted July 16, 2005 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2005 very interesting! what is Lysine and where do you get it? I ehard that nizoral is good but you should only use a couple of times a week. The nioxin I use isn't to try and grow new hair just keep the scalp very clean for ultimate growing of the transplants. I appreciate your opinion and look forward to others opinions. thanks tkerr22 My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member zerro Posted July 16, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2005 I'm also 4+ weeks post-op and I'm afraid to use agressive cleaners until I know it is safe. In my opinion, because I've used it years before, Nioxin left my scalp a little irratated. However, I am interested in some great shampoos or treatments that are proven winners. Has any one heard of Kevis hair products? Is it any good or snake oil? Any thoughts? zerro If woman don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy -Steve Smith 'The Red Green Show' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member tymman Posted July 17, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 17, 2005 tkerr22 & zerro - Ask your doctors about shampoos . Mine told me not to bother with any of the "REGROW" snake oils! I've tried them ALL, and some ones you've never heard of! Nioxin is a good powerful shampoo, but I doubt it's claims. I did use at the first signs of hair loss 9 years ago. It obviously didn't work the way it was supposed to because I just had my HT 3 weeks ago. Tried Nizoral too, same comments as above. I'm not saying they are snake oils but they didn't "REGROW" any of my hair. I did notice the Minoxidil helping my thining hair grow quicker and less falling out. I'm waiting a few more weeks to start back up on it. But I do take Propecia. By the way I'm using Baby shampoo lately, as per recommendations from my doc. He also said I could try switching it off with Pantene to avoid build up from either. Shiny Side Up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member tkerr22 Posted July 17, 2005 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 17, 2005 my doc told me i could start taking minoxidil one week post op, why are you waiting a month? My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member tymman Posted July 17, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 17, 2005 TKERR22- I started it one week post. Had some irritation in the HT and donor areas. Doc said wait a couple more weeks to allow for more healing. Shiny Side Up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted August 1, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hi Lysine is a regualar amino acid which you can buy for $5 at the store. I read a journal article that claimed it increased the effectivness of propecia. Nizoral studies ( not done or claimed by the company) indicate it increases hair count. All I know is since I've been using them together my crown coverage is improving noticebly. I get no irritaion from Niz?
