The decision to drop Nizoral 2%

[icon smith]

I have decided to drop Nizoral 2% from my regimen, at least temporarily. The reason is I believe the stuff is screwing up my hair and making it much less manageable. So, I will go with my primary shampoo/conditioner regimen of Tricomin, NANO and probably Jason's Thin to Thick to see if that calms my hair down.

Maybe there are other factors that are contributing to my "bad hair days", but i am going to try this and see if it helps.

everyones different but id say nizoral has helped my hair. it looks thicker after i use it with conditioner. i first used it on its own and my hair looked thin as hell but it does seem to make my hair feel healthier if i condition afterwards.

If you use nizoral, you need to use conditioner.

I use Nizoral 1% without conditioner.

In fact if and when I use conditoner it looks like someone wiped vaseline on my head with a baby wipe.

Hair and heads tend to be different.

Nizoral gives some people (like myself) a "fried hair" feeling. A mild conditioner gets rid of that and makes the hair more manageable.

Westcovinajoe: You need to change your conditioner - it's much too strong (hence the baby wipe effect) and probably damaging your scalp. Personally I use TGel conditioner since it's quite mild. Baby shampoo + conditioner is great too..

I found that when I used too much conditioner it weighed down my hair way too much. Only a small amount is necessary. I would keep using nizoral once or twice per week. It helps with other treatments. You can use 1% if the 2% is too harsh.

1% regrew just as much hair as 2% in clinical trials, and it is cheaper and has less side effects, if you will call them that.

I've never used conditioner in my life. Conditioner is for people with 3+ inch hair. mine is only 1/2 inch, because I'm very low maintainance.

MY derm sed that u shudnt use conditioner atall. she asked me if i did, n she sed good, dont.

she told me to wash my hair every day tho and since iv been doing that my scalp is very healthy. i use nizoral twice a week and baby shampoo on the off days. my hairs currently half inch long.

My hair looks terrible if I use Nizoral without a conditioner.
