I dont know the reason, but I heard not to use it that much. You should ask around some more, maybe it dries out your scalp or some shit. I dont know

 

[Brett]

everyone has said twice a day while on your cycle, and im doing test, so i think its a good idea

Your scalp and hair will wind up dry, very dry. If you can keep it to EOD so much the better - use finasteride or topical spiractolone etc. depending on budget / needs / etc.

I agree with gtaman. Using Nizoral ED will dry your head as hell (depends on skin type) and you may die from itching too much Use it 3-4 times/week along with a topical and finasteride and you'll be fine.

My experience has been a very positive one using it twice a day, everyday. Here's a thread about my acne.

I used it once a day throughout my cycle, and if I noticed shedding I used it twice a day till it subsided. Some people can do it twice with no problems- others will have trouble with a dry scalp. If you need to use it twice a day then get a healthy scalp conditioner, that will help with the dryness. There has to be a trade off here -- which would you rather have, a itchy flaky scalp for 8 weeks, or maybe some premature balding? I know what the answer is for me-

I use it ed when i am on cycle, but it dryes my hair big time. My hair is very dry, but at least i have full head of hairs, dryeness can be fixed later

Does Nizoral work well for most cycles like a fina cycle?
Also how does it work, does it prevent hair from falling out or does it actually grow hair, maybe even both?

My understanding is that it only reduces DHT in the scalp (preventing fallout) and does nothing for hair growth.

try to get the 2% if you can

read somewhere that 2% is no better than 1% when it comes to maintaining hair. Now maintaining dandruff, that's a different story.

can you buy the topical spiro at the pharmacy or do u have to order it from minoxidil.com
