grub12,

Yes, ketoconazole can cause an initial hair shed. If you're using Nizoral shampoo, you may want to use it only a couple times a week. Nizoral can cause your hair and scalp to become dry.

Best wishes,

I used Ketoconazole 1% and 2% for about a year without any other hairloss products and noticed minimal if any reduction of shedding. But then you might respond differently.

Furthermore the damn stuff practically scorched my scalp every time I used it, and it didn't even get rid of my dandruff!

From my experience if you're going to use it, stick to 2x/week.
