How Good is Ketoconazole for Hair Loss preventing?
As you can see, the antifungal properties of Ketoconazole shampoo prevent the growth of scalp fungi.

As a result, the fungus gets killed almost without any side effects. Ketocip, Danfree & Nizoral shampoos are able to treat seborrhea dermatitis, dandruff and many other fungal infections of the scalp. Dandruff is usually begun when your scalp gets dry. Dryness and itching cause sebaceous glands which produce extra sebum so that the moisture/oils of the scalp is maintained. As a result of excess sebum and skin parts, the hair follicles normal growth process are blocked and interrupted. It also prevents hair care, nourishment and affects the normal health of the hair and scalp. Consequences of all this is that the hair fails to get the nutrients that it needs and remains completely dry, which leads to thinning and gradual falling of the hair. Ketoconazole shampoo keeps the scalp & hair hydrated, moisturized, disinfected and also treats dandruff, preventing the production of excess sebum and scalp built up by the way of hormone blocking. Finally, after the full cycle of treatment with Ketoconazole, the hair follicles do not get blocked and give rise to healthy and strong hair strands that are thick and long.
Ketoconazole Shampoo positive androgen blocking properties is also a well-known fact (this hormone causes hair loss). Androgen is a male hormone that is responsible for giving masculine characteristics to men. Hormone changes are one of the main causes of hair loss in both men and women. The hair gets its essential nutrients through its dermal papilla, which is in direct contact with the blood and lymphatic system that circulates in your scalp. The papilla also contains androgen receptors, which combine with androgen and caused hair fall. The androgens thus combining with the androgen receptors interrupts with the absorption of essential nutrients from the blood by dermal papilla. As a result of getting fewer nutrients, the normal health of the hair is affected and this leads to hair fall or alopecia.
