Ketoconazole shampoo can dry out hair, causing it to become frizzy and less manageable. Users suggest using conditioner, trying different shampoos, or reducing the frequency of ketoconazole use to mitigate these effects.
User experienced hair growth after 1.5 months using Fin, 1 month using Min, and microneedling. They use liquid Rogaine twice daily, microneedle with a .4 mm dermaroller, and take oral Fin once a day.
The user reported significant improvement in hair quality and stability using topical finasteride for two years, without side effects. They later added minoxidil, which may have further enhanced hair quality.
Microneedling can aid hair regrowth but poses risks like permanent hair loss if not done properly. Combining it with minoxidil, finasteride, and tretinoin, while ensuring proper sterilization and technique, is crucial for safety and effectiveness.
Ketoconazole shampoo helps reduce hair shedding and improve thickness for some, but can cause dryness or irritation. Its effectiveness compared to finasteride or minoxidil varies among users.
