I'd like to know too...been using nioxin for almost 2 months and haven't noticed much improvement..I was thinking about mixing nioxin with nizoral
Problem with Rogaine, stop using it and the hair falls out. Also, I have read that Rogaine is only effective for up to 36 months. So you're just delaying the problem.
I have used Rogaine, Nioxin, Nizoral, Saw Palmetto, Lysine and probably something else that I'm just forgetting. Of all of these methods, the Nizoral works the best for me. I use it every day although the bottle says to use it every few days. It has done very well and I will continue to use it.
Here is a tip a hair specialist told me: use a confortable soft bristle brush and lightly apply 100 strokes of the brush to your hair and scalp each day. Every swipe of the brush = 1 stroke. It only takes a couple of minutes. I noticed within a few days I had no more hair falling out in the shower. It does not pull the hair out any worse, it increases circulation to the scalp, which is what nioxin is supposed to do. This way is cheaper than nioxin.
Good luck.

I was worried about that too but the lady who told me said something about only worry if your hair is very long and if your hair is brittle but otherwise to just make sure and brush lightly. You definitely don't want to press hard and get your scalp inflamed. The brush I have has the wide knobby rubber teeth, not plastic so it's comfortable. I would think that if brushing makes them fall out then they were coming out soon regardless.

it is a topical anti-androgen.. it works fairly well for most people
I'm using Nizoral shampoo every 2 days and apply minoxidil 2% and continue doing that. Another friend of mine whose got really thin hair is planning to shave his head off and start applying minoxidil daily. Do you guys think that applying minoxidil on a bald head is worth it since there is no hair. Need feedback guys.

I used to use nizoral shampoo for years growin up because i had a scalp condition. On the RX label it says may cause hair loss. So its very strange to me to see people using it to stop hairloss. Maybe what they wrote on the RX label years ago was only a myth or they were uncertain but, it did say it might cause hairloss.
But like sremack said, it stops inflamation of the scalp which can cause hair loss it totally true but not DHT cuased hair loss. When my scalp used to flair up and i would scratch the hell out of it, tons of hair would fall out. i mean alot. i used to have about 50+ strans on a peice of paper. thats how i used to measure. but they all grew back. it was the inflamation that forced them to temporarily fall out. Nizoral just stops the inflamation and flaking of the skin.
I found better stuff for my scalp. Head and Shoulders shampoo and conditioner. My scalp has never felt so friggin normal since. Nizoral was the next best thing though.

does this take a while for the hair to start falling off?BackDoc said:
Now, I repeatedly hear that the circulation thing is a myth. It was an antiquated idea from the beginning of the 20th century. One of the main causes of balding (and what makes Nizoral good) is inflamation. It isn't solely a problem with DHT clogging the folicle, which is a way simplified explanation -- no one knows exactly what it does. "Stimulating the scalp" seems like it might exacerbate the problem, if nothing else.
It took a few days for me to see a difference as well. It is scary at first because you think you're losing more. While most of mine did not come out on the brush, I could count upwards of almost a hundred hairs every morning shower. As to theories of scalp stimulation, I really can't say if it has truly been dispelled or not since at least from an anecdote standpoint it worked for me and the Nizoral seems to support whatever I'm doing. One of the Nioxin products is supposed to increase blood flow the head as well, although that did not work for me. Who knows, it may depend on what type of hair loss you have. I have vortex, but not MPB, so that may make a difference. I will run it by the hair specialist next time I see her since she is the one with the degrees in this field. It could have been something specific to me, but that seems unlikely.
