Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 28, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 28, 2018 How many of you guys use Nizoral? If so how many times per week? And what benefits if any have you guys noticed? I'd love to hear the communities input. Nizoral Shampoo For Hair Loss I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Markee Posted December 29, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) After using it pretty much every which way possible for over 20yrs my personal opinion is the stuff junk waste of time and money does nothing to prevent or slow hair loss and its not even good at what its actually marketed for Dandruff.

Bill - Seemiller Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I used to use Nizoral 2% but I could only really use it 2 times per week and even then it would dry my scalp and hair out. I preferred using Revita shampoo which only contained 1% ketoconazole but it was much softer and gentler on the hair and scalp. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diederik Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I use it 2-3x a week... it's the first thing I lather in when I hop in the shower and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Honestly I haven't really noticed any difference but the science/placebo effect makes me feel slightly better about using it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyGraft Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 The studies for hair loss done on nizoral used the 2% anywhere from 2-4 times a week. The one study that used 1% had participants use it 2-3 times per week. knowing what I know now, and how harsh it can be (especially the 2%) I’d use it max 2x a week. The 1% isn’t as drying as the 2% so you might be able to get away with using it more often but I’d still be cautious. nizoral even put a claim on their site that said the medicine still remains at therapeutic levels in the scalp for 3 days following use.

Senior Member E39 Posted March 15, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted March 15, 2019 I’ve been using it 2x a week. It seems to get rid of the “hair loss itch” I used to feel sometimes in my vertex area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted March 15, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 15, 2019 When I was younger my head and hair was so oily that my head was oily and greasy just a few hours after washing it. I had to wash my hair twice per day. I began using Nizoral shampoo every day and used it as my only shampoo for a couple of years. It did help with the oilyness and probably had a minor effect on my hairloss too. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Senior Member Fozzie Posted March 15, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted March 15, 2019 Have used it but really don't think it does much on it's own to be honest. As an adjunct treatment alongside finasteride, it may provide a little extra in terms of inhibiting DHT however even then, not convinced it does enough to warrant being a serious treatment in the fight against hairloss.

Senior Member rocketmas Posted November 7, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 7, 2020 So here is my observation : I have been using Propecia and Minoxidil for over 10 years and it did what it did. For last 4 months I started using Nizoral or a 2% Ketacanzole + Salicylic Acid shampoo. I can swear to god that my density is improving, and also mini-hair are sprouting along the recessed temporal regions. Some family members and my hair stylist have commented on how much better my hair has become. I have been on this forum for 20 years and consider myself quite knowledgeable on transplants, meds, etc, and I now wish I had started this shampoo yers ago. There is no doubt about the benefits in my mind. Perhaps next to Propecia its the best thing for hair. Only downside is the drying of the scalp and I have started using coconut oil for that, and that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Kraistoff Posted November 7, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 7, 2020 How often a week di you use it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted November 11, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2020 I think it caused me some shedding but for a while it made my hair thick as hell, that was years ago so might give it another try 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Senior Member Kraistoff Posted November 11, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2020 I reckon the dryness of the hair after using it increases the static energy between the hairs and make mine look bushier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member rocketmas Posted November 16, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 16, 2020 I use Nizoral twice a week. BTW I also use Minoxidil 10% once a day. I used to use 5% twice for 10 years and have now moved to this just for convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jake1979 Posted January 18, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hi guys, I'm thinking of starting Nizoral shampoo 2%, does anyone know if you would experience "shock loss" after discontinuing use of shampoo, similar to finasteride and minoxidil discontinuation?
