Fig. 1 A 23-year-old Japanese man who used 2% ketoconazole (KCZ) lotion during shampooing everyday. Six months later, hair regrowth was attained (b) in comparison with the pre-treatment condition (a). Suspension of use for 3 months, however, caused recurrent hair loss (c). Renewed use of KCZ induced renewed growth of vertex hair (d). A 25-year-old Japanese man with AGA (e) applied 2% KCZ lotion immediately after shampooing everyday. Ten months later, hair regrowth was apparent (f)

Topical ketoconazole for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia: A systematic review

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is common and associated with significant psychosocial distress. Treatment options are needed for patients that do not adequately respond to first line treatments of finasteride or minoxidil. Topical ketoconazole has been proposed as a promising treatment. The goal of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of topical ketoconazole in the treatment of AGA. A systematic literature search was conducted within the MEDLINE database using the key terms “ketoconazole” and “alopecia.” Forty‐seven papers were screened for inclusion, of which nine were assessed for eligibility. Seven articles were included in the qualitative synthesis, including two animal studies (total of 40 participants) and five human studies (total of 318 participants). Murine studies demonstrated a significant increase in mean ratio of hair regrowth to denuded area in the ketoconazole treatment groups compared to controls. Human studies reported increased hair shaft diameter following ketoconazole use. One study reported a significant increase in pilary index (percent anagen phase × diameter) following treatment. Studies also demonstrated clinical improvement of AGA based on photographic assessment and subjective evaluation. Topical ketoconazole is a promising adjunctive or alternative therapy in the treatment of AGA. Randomized controlled trials are needed.

Once daily and no I don’t use finastride. I honestly don’t believe I’m prone to mpb but I use Nizoral because I know my DHT is high, I’ve tested it. I use it just for piece of mind.

The study refers daily usage for 6 months. I believe one should left it in the head about 5 to 10 minutes before washing off.

It worked decent as a styling product for me, worked it into my hair after showering and it left my hair soft and shiny.  Nowadays I don’t bother, I just take 1mg finasteride and don’t worry about it.  I think the 2% ketaconazole Rx formulation is what gets your results, the 1% OTC might not be enough

I’m going on 8 years finasteride now and hairline hasn’t budged.  Wish I’d started earlier tbh

I do about 2-3 minutes but i will give 5 mins a try.

I quoted another study where instead of shampoo, ketoconazole was applied topicaly in liquid form. The results are showed in pictures E an F.
