      Shampoos, including those with ketoconazole, may offer mild benefits for hair health but are not effective for stopping hair loss or balding. Effective treatments for hair loss include finasteride and minoxidil, often used together, while shampoos are generally not on the scalp long enough to impact hair follicles significantly.
