Nizoral - Hair Loss Treatment Review




Nizoral shampoo is a product that is commonly used to fight dandruff that has been caused by fungal scalp infections. It is generally found with a one or two percent concentration of the main ingredient ketoconazole. Some countries require prescriptions before allowing the two percent version to be purchased.


One lesser known attribute of Nizoral happens to be the fact that it is a highly effective treatment against some types of baldness too. In fact, studies have shown that the two percent ketoconazole was equally effective as two percent concentrations of minoxidil though the minoxidil products are more widely recognized for fighting baldness.


Nizoral Reviews -- Pros of Using Ketoconazole


No review is complete without discussing the benefits of the product. When it comes to Nizoral the biggest benefit by far is that the price is considerably lower than many other "hair growth" products on the market today. The reason for this is that Nizoral is still commonly believed to be little more than an anti-dandruff shampoo. This means that people haven't yet jumped on the hair loss bandwagon for this product so the average Joe can still afford to buy it.


Another benefit of using Ketoconazole over Rogaine (minoxidil) is that it is much easier to apply. This is significant because the easier it is to use, the more often it will be used. Most people incorporate it into their usual shower and hair washing routines.


If it's at all possible, purchase the two percent concentration of ketoconazole in order to get the greatest preventative impact. Remember that this is a product intended to prevent or slow hair loss and not necessarily to re-grow hair (though some claim to have new hair growth after using Nizoral).


Cons to Keep In Mind


It's also important to pay attention to the downside of using Nizoral for hair loss treatment. The first major negative to keep in mind is that this product is more about preventing further hair loss. As mentioned above, it doesn't promise or offer to generate new growth of hair. It simply slows or, in some cases, stops the loss of hair that's taking place in your shower drain morning after morning.


Then there are the side effects. While they aren't massive side effects felt by all, there are a few negative side effects to consider before using Nizoral for hair loss or for dandruff. The first, and most bothersome to many people, is the fact that it can cause an uneven texture in your hair. Some also claim that it causes some degree of discoloration or darkening of the hair. The other more widely experienced side effect of this particular shampoo is the fact that it often makes the scalp itch.


Nizoral has a lot to offer those who are eager to slow the loss of hair that seems to be taking over their thoughts day after day. There aren't many products out there that happen to be a perfect combination of price, application, and ease of use like Nizoral..
