Senior Member nobuzz4me Posted February 17, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2007 It apparently has some DHT removing properties as well as reduce inflamation from dandruff. Not sure it will regrow anything just keeps the scalp a little healthier. NoBuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a good shampoo that should be considered as part of your regimine. NN Dr.Cole,1989. ??graftcount Dr. Ron Shapiro.

Bill - Seemiller Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I'll add this to what people have said...don't overuse it if you end up getting it. It can dry out your hair and scalp if used excessively which generally isn't good. I used it for awhile but stopped using it because it gave my hair the appearance of less density and it was more dry and brittle. I used it about 3-4 times a week. Keep in mind, of course, that everyone reacts differently...so you may have better luck. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted February 18, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2007 Yes, Most use about 2-3 times a week. It does dry out your hair a bit.. There are some good studies on Nizoral which you can find on this site if you search as well as Google..

Senior Member hairbank Posted February 19, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2007 Yes- I believe Nizoral, which contains the active ingredient ketoconazole, will help keep your scalp healthier and MAY help you fight DHT. It's a shampoo which has anti-fungal qualities which are very important in fighting MPB. I used to alternate it daily with Nioxin, now use it a couple times a week.

Senior Member kamin Posted February 20, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2007 Plus, Nizoral (the 2%) was used during the initial finasteride studies. If you're using finasteride, it is recommended that Nizoral is also used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wrote a post on our Q & A blog on the topic of "Can Dandruff cause hair loss?" today and I think the above replies are better. Which reminds me, I should buy some Nizoral.

Senior Member Franklin Posted February 22, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2007 Heres something that might help with the dryness of your hair when using Nizoral shampoo. I have been using 2-3 times a week for the last 4 years since my ht. And found that adding infusium 23 leave in conditioner every day after washing my hair helps with this problem.
