The Best Hair Loss Shampoo
Is stopping hair loss as easy as changing your shampoo? Not exactly, but using a Ketoconazole based shampoo a couple times a week has clinically shown to increase hair growth.
What is Ketoconazole?
Ketoconazole is also known Nizoral. It is primarily used as an anti-dandruff shampoo, but has shown to help with hair density when used alone, and when combined with other products it has shown extreme results. Nizoral was originally created to be an anti-fungal medication, but after some research showed to have very promising effects on thinning hair it has been adopted by the hair loss community as a staple in any hair loss regimen.
Research has shown that when compared to using minoxidil 2% only, men who suffered from androgenic alopecia – Male Pattern Baldness – the outcome was almost identical for both. The men saw increased density, size, and proportion of anagen follicles. A second study using Nizoral shampoo alone 2-3 times a week for six months showed an increase in hair shaft size by almost 5.5%, it increased anagen hair by almost 5%, and decreased shedding by over 17%. When Nizoral was paired with finasteride in a daily regimen it was shown to be much more effective than only using finasteride on its own in treating male pattern baldness.
How does Nizoral work?
It appears that the anti-inflammatory effects of ketoconazole play a large role in mitigating hair loss. The same sensitivity to DHT which causes hair loss can cause itchiness, inflammation, tingling, and even pain on the scalp. Nizoral’s anti-inflammatory properties calm these effects.
Nizoral works for both men and women when dealing with thinning hair and hair loss and it is recommended to be implemented in your hair loss regimen. It should be in everyone’s shower who is currently dealing with, or even just worried about hair loss. You should wash your hair with Nizoral shampoo 2-3 times per week, and ensure it stays in your hair for at least 5 minutes before rinsing.
The studies suggest Nizoral alone has a great effect on hair loss. To defeat hair loss you should then definitely combine it with a DHT inhibitor, such as finasteride, as well as a growth stimulant, minoxidil, for maximum effect.
