HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

Does this shampoo actually help or is it just wishful thinking?If so do any shampoos really help.

hmm...i used it for about 7 months. It really dried out my hiar and scalp but apparently due to various studies can regrow hair. I personally dont think any cosmetic improvement will occur. I dropped it also. If it had any meaningful results it would be consumed by the money hungry pharmacuticals and marketed for HL (probabli increase the price too). If you do use it, be sure to use a heavy moisturizing shampooo. Good luck

Actually, Nizoral shampoo was designed to treat Seborrheic Dermatitis ( Dandruff/Dry Scalp) It comes in two forms, one percent ( over the counter ) and two percent ( prescription ) I would highly recommend getting the 2 percent if you have good insurance. I have been working in the Dermatology field for over 10 years now and Nizoral shampoo is the best shampoo for Dandruff. It comes out pink and does not have that bad tar smell like the others do. The active ingredient in it is ketoconazole. I have used this shampoo and I love the results it gives me for my dandruff.

As far a promoting hair growth, One 1998 study showed that prescription-strength Nizoral, which contains 2% ketoconazole, worked just as well as minoxidil (brand name Rogaine) in men with androgenic alopecia (male hereditary balding). Both medicines increased hair thickness and increased the number of anagen-phase hair follicles on the scalp.

Dr. Cole gave me a new prescription for the Nizoral 2% shampoo. I am going to use it twice a week and use the Hair Cycle shampoo the rest of the time.
