Nioxin vs. Nizoral

[wayneboard1]

So whats the deal here? Is this just 2 ways of doing the same thing or is one better than the other. I have asked a few people and done some research but can't find any facts about why one works better than the other. Is it just personal preference or what? I do not have MPB in my family, I just want to keep what I have while on my first cycle. I have nioxin shampoo and conditioner and can only find the Nizoral at 1% at the store. I'm not too keen on taking anymore pills, so if anyone has any facts or personal experience with Nioxin or Nizoral, I would like to hear back from you.

Thanks!

I know that in studies with Nizoral shampoo, the 1% over the counter dose is practically as effective as the prescription 2% dose. The 2% was only slightly more efficient. Haven't learned that much about nioxin yet. I think that's the synergistic stuff that salons carry.

So if I am not prone to MPB and on my cycle (400 EQ/250 Test) each week, do you think the 1% nizoral would be good at just keeping my hair? I THINK with the soemwhat lower dose of test, and my lack of proness,, that woukd be enough don't cha think?

Yes I think you should be ok. Whether your going bald or not, you're going to lose hair. The reason people go bald is because the follicle gets closed off and the hair grows back thinner and thinner until it's gone. A lot of people see a few hairs here and there and start freaking out. Worry and stress will only make it worse. In fact, it's normal to lose 50 - 100 hairs a day even in individuals who are not suffering from MPB.
