Hi,
I suffer from diffused thinning hair in the TOP with an oily scalps only in the TOP too.
along with this hair loss I suffer from psoriasis and scalps hurting itching.
I tried minoxidil 5% for about a year and I dropped because it did nothing then I started it again since February 2016 and I still using it till now. I use it once a day the morning.
I started regenepure dr which contain 1% ketoconazole since July 2016 and it didn't help me much with the itching and scalps hurting problems.
I ordered from amazon usa the zinc + b6 and to make the simple zix lotion and I'm waiting them because I'm living outside the USA. So I purchased from a local pharmacy here a sulfate zinc and distilled water.
I mix my own lotion and I think I put a lot more zinc than the original formula. I can't exactly figure out the quantity of zinc I put it because I bough it as powder. I think I put at least 1000 mg or may be more for 120ml distilled water.
I started using the zix since october 2nd (about two week ago) and I applied once a day at night before going sleep and the morning when I wake up I use minox5%.
THE GOOD THINGS is that I get rid of the scalps hurting/ itching and it was the first time that a product did that to me and I'm VERRRRY happy about it.
Even if I still 4 days without washing my hair the hurt doesn't occur. Before when my hair get exposed to the sun or wind my scalps hurt. even without that the hurt occur always.
Before using the zix lotion when I scratched my scalps with my nails (bad habit) after that my hair hurt a lot and the hurt last for half or may be a whole days, now when I do that I don't feel any hurt after that.
Even when I shaved my hair before with trimmer I always feel hurting in the top of my scalps and now I didn't feel any hurt when I shaved my hair two days ago.
The dandruff decrease considerably too.
THE BAD THINGS is that my shedding increase significantly since I started the zix. Before I used to loose a only a short hair. (Because in my case I have two different layer of hair a hair that grow normally and the other that grow too slowly). Now after using the zix I loose both hair long and short, thin and little bit thicker.
This shedding may be happen because I was covering my hair with a hat during the whole summer (since june 2016) when I go outside so the sun or wind won't hurt my scalps and I remove the hat a week before I start the zix, may be a it's a coincidence.
Or may be also because of the autumn and the weather changing. In the last two week it moved from windy and cold to hot summer sunny day and back to windy. You know the global warming blow up everything.
Or may be because I use a lot of zinc in my formula, so I should drop the quantity of the zinc.
Need your advises guys !! and what do you think about that. should i hold and wait ?
