Daily DHT Blocking Shampoo Recommendation

[Goblin82]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a DHT Blocking Shampoo I can use daily? I appreciate it's not a replacement for Finasteride etc 

I plan to use Nizoral once a week as well

Thank you

There are a number of shampoos. I would find one that works well with your hair and perhaps add some additional ingredients.I have added peppermint oil, castor oil, and olive oil. You can also add saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil. A little of this... and a little of that. Peppermint oil has natural anti-inflammatory benefits. This study on peppermint oil is worth a read: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4289931.

Shampoo ingredients that may strengthen hair and give it the look of fullness include:

• ginseng
• biotin
• collagen
• aloe vera

PS Look at my avatar. It is working.

Thank you!

There are a few online I can find;

Son's which contains;

• Saw Palmetto
• Argan Oil
• Iron
• Vitamin B3/Niacin
• Cedarwood Oil
• Hibiscus
• Amla Oil
• Sage Oil
• Rosemary Leaf Oil

There is also Manual which contains Biotin, Saw Palmetto, Caffeine, ginger, sage and olive oil.

Or lipogaine with pretty much the same ingredients.

Haha nice head of hair 😅

My view is mix it up. Hairguard makes a good caffeine based shampoo. There are some really expensive Argan Oil shampoos. Dr. Shapiro has a medicated shampoo. If you use Nizoral--make sure you use the prescription 2%. Big difference.

Thank you.

I bought the 20mg/g, is that the 2%?

[Mountinvan]

Not sure. Nizorol comes in an over the counter 1%. But it is way less effective, in my opinion, than the 2% prescription. Google ketoconazole shampoo 2 percent which is the generic version.

Use 2% Nizoral as frequently as your scalp can handle , and then on the days you don’t use it, look for a nice quality paraben free shampoo - you’re wasting your money with the ‘dht blocking’ shampoos.

Shampoo can stay only a couple of minutes on your Scalp so not worth spending money for a DHT blocking Shampoo. Just use any other mild to moderate shampoo for everyday use. For DHT, medicines, as prescribed by your doctor, are the only option in my opinion.
