Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Ketoconazole and Pyrithione ZincKetoconazole is an antiandrogen like Spironolactone. When used in 2% form as a shampoo, it helps to reduce DHT in the scalp. There's a non-presecription product that can be purchased over the counter called Nizoral. Nizoral is only 1% but this is better than nothing. Or, you can head on over to Minoxidil.com, get a prescription and purchase a 2% version called Regrowth Treatment Shampoo. Ketoconazole should only be used three to four times per week in 1% form. In 2% form from Minoxidil.com, it also contains 3% Salicylic Acid - which clears sebum deposits (and anything else that doesn't belong on your scalp) to allow better penetration of the Ketoconazole. Pyrithione Zinc appears to be a very effective DHT inhibitor. Many people using Pyrithione Zinc have noticed their thinning hair problem either cease - or at least slow down drastically. And, those who use Pyrithione Zinc and Minoxidil - are experiencing better hair regrowth than without it. Pyrithione Zinc can be found in 1% or 2% form in Head and Shoulders shampoo. My personal self-treatment regimen has changed over the years. Currently, as of 01.30.2007, I'm using 2% Ketocanazole 3 or 4 days a week, 2% Pyrithione Zinc 3 or 4 days a week (alternating with each other) and a moisturing conditioner every day. I wash my hair 5-7 days a week. I do my best to give my hair at least one day off during the week. |
