Nizoral is harsh on my hair. What shampoo to use after nizoral?

[messmorph]

Hi Guys,

I don't use Nizoral that much as after washing it my hair feels brittle and dry. Can I was with Nizoral and then do another wash straight away with a better shampoo to make my hair feel better?

What shampoo do you recommend?

Also Nizoral 1 or 2%?

There used to be a Nizoral non-medicated conditioner (discontinued).

I don’t think there should be a problem with a second wash.

lee has a less harsh 1% keto. I hope they know the keto is what is reponsible, and not the shampoo, and that the vehicle is not critical.

One thing i HATE about nizoral is if I get it in my eyes it burns burns burns. I'm going to squirt a little aloe and a little oleic acid in it.

I just started using it this week, I seem to be having no problems with it. How much do you guys use? Sparingly or lots so that there's full lather coverage? I noticed that it seem to have much lather and wondered if I'd used enough.. :roll:

If you pre-wash with a gentle shampoo you could use a very small amount of Nizoral.
I’ve been using the same bottle (4oz.) for 6 months and still have a month’s worth of shampoo.

I may try that, thanks. I've used Nizoral twice now in 5 days thinking about using it again tomorrow, if I'm having no problems with it could I use it as my only shampoo every other day? When did those of you that have had problems with it first start noticing?

nizoral makes my scalp itchy

I'm pretty new to all this, but i got some Tricomin, and it REALLY helped with the itching from Nizoral (I used to scratch like a monkey when I used it)and some cosmetic thickening. I'd give it a shot- sure, it's $ 48.00, but you don't need to use that much.
