If you remember this post about my hair-care routine, you would know I have been trying out Ketomac dandruff treatment shampoo for quite some time now. I have been facing issues like flaky scalp for some time now, though thankfully, the situation was never so bad to lead to public embarrassments ?? Nevertheless, if there is a problem, there has to be a solution. Read on to know my take on this shampoo
Ingredients: Ketoconazole IP 2% w/v; shampoo base- q.s.
Usage schedule: Apply to scalp and wet hair and leave for 5 minutes before rinsing off.
Use twice a week for first 4 weeks. Thereafter, using it once a week will inhibit dandruff recurrence.
My take on Ketomac dandruff treatment shampoo: Ketoconazole is a known anti-dandruff medicinal ingredient, and without getting into the details, I just wanna let you know that this stuff works! I have used up numerous bottles of Nizoral shampoo in the past, without any results.
The shampoo is a light brownish-orange shampoo with a liquidy consistency. When I started using this shampoo, the dandruff started fading away from the very first wash. I was really impressed, and as per instructions, I used it twice a week for the first 2 weeks only, then brought down the frequency to once a week, since by this time, the dandruff was almost gone. Now I use it once in 10 days to keep the dandruff from relapsing. My scalp is dandruff-free now.
The shampoo has a light fragrance, which doesn’t stay in the hair for long. It also helps keep my scalp relatively oil-free, as compared to regular shampoos(I have super oily scalp and dry hair). Also, it leaves my hair slightly more dry, so I need to use a lot of conditioner once the shampoo has been washed off.
Coming to the one thing which I didn’t like- hairfall! On the days that I used this shampoo, I suffered a lot of hair-fall post shampoo. As in, more than what is considered normal after a wash. Very heart-breaking! But in-between washes, I didn’t notice any such thing, so that’s a good thing. But still if you have consistent hair-fall issues, be careful, or be warned!
Pros of Ketomac dandruff treatment shampoo:
Helps clear dandruff from the very first wash
Helps get rid of dandruff to a major extent
Helps prevent dandruff recurrence
Affordable
Easily available at all pharmacies
Cons of Ketomac dandruff treatment shampoo:
I experienced severe hairfall on the days when I used this shampoo
Dries out the hair a bit
For a dandruff free scalp, I don’t mind putting up with the cons. Please note that this shampoo is a medicinal product.
Verdict: If you have been suffering from dandruff, you should give this one a try before investing in expensive in-salon dandruff therapies.
