Can nizoral shampoo help with hair loss?

Yes, Nizoral shmapoo is helpfull for hairloss, it thinners the area of testosterone receptors this is why it can be used as a treatment. 

If you are suffering from scalp inflammation as manifested by seborrhea, dandruff or an otherwise very highly active scalp, then the Nizoral or other  similar shampoos may help you.  Dr. Donovan's response is very well written and explains this issue concisely.

Yes, Nizoral does aid in hair loss and it also conditions the scalp to promote hair growth. Good Luck!

Nizoral is certainly an option in combination with other treatments for hair loss.  I would not utilize it as a standalone treatment, but optimize your outcomes in combination.

Nizoral shampoo is very good at helping with dry flaky scalp conditions. If your hair is falling out because of you scalp condition then it may help, but if you are losing hair for other reasons it will not help the hair loss.

Nizoral shampoo has been shown to not help with hair loss. Try propecia and minoxidil, and possibly PRP and Laser,

Nizoral (ketoconazole 2%) shampoo can be used to promote hair growth and also slow down hair loss in some patients. Nizoral is a popular product that is usually used to treat dandruff as well as a variety of skin fungal infections.Nizoral could be used by itself or in combination with finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss treatment or to slow down the process of balding in men or women with male patterned baldness. Nizoral can also be used after a hair transplant to slow down the risk of further hair loss in non-transplanted areas and to minimize the risk of shock loss after hair transplants.

Ketoconazole shampoos (Nizoral, etc) promote hair growthKetocaonzole is an antifungal agent and effective for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis and "dandruff". But research over the past many years has suggested that they help hair loss as well. I often recommend that individuals with genetic hair loss consider use of anti-inflammatory shampoos. Whether these shampoos benefit other types of hair loss is not clear. If you are not sure what type of hair loss you have, please check with your physician. What were the results of ketoconazole studies for genetic hair loss?A 21 month study compared the use of topical minoxidil to ketoconazole 2 % shampoo. Study participants received the 2 % shampoo or an unmedicated shampoo with or without minoxidil 2 %. Interestingly, hair density and follicle size improvements were similar with both ketoconazole and minoxidil regimens.How do ketoconazole shampoos help hair loss?The means by which topical ketoconazole helps hair density and hair growth is unclear, but may be due to is anti-inflammatory effects against T cells and the yeast of the scalp which create inflammation (Malassezia yeast). Ketoconaozle also inhibits steroidogenesis and decreases DHT levels.Medical ReferencesInui. J Dermatol Sci 2007; 45: 66-8.Pierar Franchimont Dermatology 1998; 196: 474-7

Nizoral definitely can help with hairloss. It also gives the scalp the best environment for hair to grow.
