I’ve been using Ketoconazole for 8 years for Seborrhoeic dermatitis. I get it mostly around the perimeter of my head/ears. It’s helped a lot. I realized real quick when I used to apply to my whole head, my hair was drying out. Now I apply to the scalp only. And I follow with a moisturizing shampoo or a no suds conditioning shampoo. I now only use it twice a month. I mostly use As I Am dry and itchy scalp cowash and oils. I feel it helps a lot!
I used ketoconazole for my Seborrhoeic dematitis for the first time yesterday and after seeying what it did to my hair I was horrified. I started my curly hair journey not too long ago and I started to think all my efforts had been for nothing. I've been looking up ways to limit the damage and recover all day.
@@curiousdeino2764 Have you tried a deep conditioning mask? I sometimes sleep with a plastic cap and a bonnet with the deep conditioner on my hair.
@@naturalhoneydid you experience hair loss at any point before using ketoconazole?
Also, what products did you use to style your hair while using ketoconazole?
@@tatianadaniel3569 No hair loss. Since this post, I got microlocs. Best decision ever!!. I don’t get flare ups anymore. Just 1-2 small area close to my ears. I still use the Ketoconazole shampoo for my scalp. I now know that the seborrheic derm. Feed off of the oils and butters I was using. Coconut, Shea butter are two of the ones I used the most. Before I Loc’d I detoxed my scalp and used only the Mielle pomegranate line. I used mostly the foam and gel for my wash and gos. If the first 5 ingredients had oils and butters, I stayed away from it. I made my own oil for my scalp from MCT OIL. I added a few drops of tea tree. Mct oil is on Amazon or a health grocery store. My curls were moisturized with those products. Hope this helps!
@@naturalhoney Thank you so much for the detailed information! I'm relieved to know that this product worked for your scalp!
I'm going to look into the MCT OIL and tea tree oil that you've suggested. Do you think aloe vera GEL (fruit of the earth brand, from walmart) would be a good styling product until then?
I am so glad i found someone talking about this. I got worried for my curly hair after reading all the pharmacy stuff that came with the shampoo. Love your red curls by the way.
Thank you so much! Yes, I honestly don't see a lot of curly hair/naturals talking about this. It could be because they don't experience it as often but I'll be sure to share more on this 💖
Thank You for making this video - I know coconut oil dries my hair so when my Dermatologist literally didn't take this into account, and the Ketoconazole shampoo is mixed with that.
I'm saying no for now, unless my hair loss become "nothing to lose" status
Thank You for making this video - information is important, especially niche answers that are needed, but not readily available
I was prescribed this when I was suffering from severe scalp issues.I quickly noticed a difference so I kept using it but my it had harmed my curly natural hair so much that it’s breaking off. I didn’t even have those instructions on my bottle. My anxiety has increased because of the dry texture change and I can’t stop touching it 😖
i was prescribed a shampoo that has this in and my curl pattern has completely changed and is practically straight now have you got any suggestions on how to revive them?
Wish I came across your channel much sooner. Ketoconazole definitely discolored and dried my hair. My texture changed and my curl pattern is completely gone. The dermatologist also gave me mometasone furoate topical solution which also contributed to everything mentioned. At this point I need a trichologist that knows or understands coarse hair.
I have been using Nizoral and I had so much breakage I’m having to stretch my wash days out to once a week. It is just way too drying but cured my dandruff! My scalp has been so clean, I can even see the pores on my scalp now!
Yeah, I haha this shampoo is strictly for dermatitis, psoriasis and things of that nature. Do NOT use it as a clarifying shampoo. Wanna clarify your hair? Use shampoos from harvest health that have mint and tea tree👍🏾❤️
Knew it , ever since I started this shampoo my hair is so dry so I try to keep it on my scalp but it be difficult , we have the same hair and I’m in the process or growing mine back long . We just can’t win either you want your scalp to stop itching but your hair is going to look like shit or you stop using it and your scalp is torn up 😩😩😩😩 this 3C life ain’t no joke
im having really really realllyyyyyy bad scalp issues, it hurts, its itchin sooo bad, im scratching my whole scalp till its bleeds, this is going on for like 2 months and i just realise.. i started on birthcontrol 3/4months ago, my hair is shedding alot (i'm 6months postpartum) my curls pattern is soooo sadface! but okay i called the doc and she writes me out this shampoo, i already asked if it dried out the hair, bc my hair is already rope. im at my limit of what i can take, and this itch and pain i can't anymore, so im really happy i came across your video so i only will do my scalp, i hope it works for me.
I’m so sorry to hear you are going through this, that can be so frustrating and uncomfortable.
Be careful with the shampoo I personally feel like it dries me out. Try using zinc see if you can find that and put it on your scalp to soothe it. I also find that not having too much product build up helps me too.
My scalp gets really irritated when there’s a lot of product build up.
This is a journey, not a sprint. It will get better, slowly but surely ♥️♥️
@@SullyG i have really bad flaking now, but i think its a little better, the itch comes and goes, what is zinc, i will search for it. but i dont know, thxx you
@@AmanDa-pb2sr how’s your hair shedding now?
@@SullyG did head and shoulders give the same result? Like dry and shedding?
Thanks for sharing my physician suggested this for me and I'm definitely not happy with this shampoo it's not for natural hair
My dermatologist prescribed this shampoo to me and it dried my curly hair out. I will not be using it anymore because I don't want my hair to break from it. I had to put a lot of coconut grease and olive oil and water in my hair just to bring back the moisture. She also prescribed me tretinoin cream which also dries my skin out on my face. It's crazy.
This product completely altered my hair. I have extremely... well had extremely thick healthy hair. After 2 months of use I would say I've lost 50% of my hair from the root, including breakage. Yes it's super drying. Definitely NOT for black hair.
Yessss! I feel the exact same way and have lost lots of hair density from it!!! Thank you for your honesty !!
I’ve had the same problem and now my hair is dry, brittle, breaking and shedding like crazy!!!! How am i supposed to resolve this issue and get my hair back thicker?
@@wassimbassar9628 I got the same issue
This shampoo also dries my hair out, tangles it where I really work it into the roots, and has been seeming to be straightening my wavy/curly hair.
A routine I've worked out is to wash my hair once or twice (usually with Head & Shoulders) to get my scalp clean so the ketoconazole shampoo can really work. I apply a little at a time directly onto my scalp, working it in and squeezing the lather back up towards my scalp, trying not to let much go too far down my strands. When I have my scalp covered, I put my hair in a high bun, and again squish my hair to concentrate the shampoo onto my scalp. I let it sit around 10 minutes and then rinse for a pretty long time. Then I DOUSE my scalp and hair with a diy diluted vinegar and water spray, put that up and let it sit for 5-10 minutes and when I rinse that, a lot of the dried out feeling is gone (plus the vinegar helps even more with controlling scalp itch). Then I put my conditioner in, let it sit a while, detangle, and rinse.
I don't know if the vinegar & water spray/rinse will work across the board for all hair types and textures in combatting the drying effects of ketaconazole, but if you *have* to use the shampoo, and are looking to try something, that has helped me.
I have the same issue. It’s very drying but I follow up with a moisturizing shampoo and a good deep conditioner. It has helped so much and I don’t loose as much hair during wash day
Yh that 2% destroys your hair. I have been using it for a while now thinking it might help with hair loss but I think it made my hair and scalp worse. Very drying!!!
You use on the scalp and only a small amount.
Did your curls end up coming back? I use this on my daughter the same way and it broke her hair off and it’s dry
Yes! I’ve been experience shedding due to other reasons but with routine hair cuts and deep conditioning my curls came back and were hydrated. I recommend doing the same for your daughter 💛
Would you say that regular V05 conditioner is safe to use on natural hair while using ketoconazole? Can i still use products like grease and shine n' jam when styling?
Did it change your curl pattern? I used to be a 3B now dancing at 2C atleast the top part of my hair. I don't know if I can get it back. :(
I often wonder if it changed my hair pattern as well
idk the exact pattern mine was but i had wavy/curly thick hair and after using it for a while my hair is almost straight??? idk how to get it back :( do you have any tips??
So….several questions. You partially followed the instructions on medication given to you and then made a video saying this medication isn’t for people with curtly hair…..even though you didn’t follow the instructions? Also that medication isn’t for general scalp issues it’s for severe to mildly severe scalp issues. That 2% is a harsh chemical. It doesn’t clarify. If you wanted Nizoral you could have gone to Target.
I have been dealing with flakes for 8 months after using ketoconazole and I wasn't able to stop it
I have been using and my her is thinning in the center thank you now I need help what to buy to help get my hair back
I used the same shampoo I do not like that
How many times did you have to use it before your scalp issues stopped?
Idk about her, but it reduced my scalp issues after 3 or 4 uses. I’ve since switched to Derma E Psorzema Scalp Relief shampoo (applied directly to the scalp with a small plastic applicator bottle) that also works and isn’t as drying. I also really like rosemary tea rinses and think it helps keep my dandruff at bay the longest. To make it, just steep fresh rosemary in distilled water (bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer). Once cooled, pour into a plastic applicator bottle, flip your head upside down, and squeeze the tea directly onto your scalp. I do this as the final step on wash days every 2-3 weeks. If you make a big batch, you can freeze it into ice cubes and thaw them out as you need them.
How did you stop your flaky scalp?
You were allergic to the ingredients
You're right I definitely was!
