What I've been doing, prior to this path of getting a hair system, was using a combination of 2 shampoos to stop hair loss. Nizoral and the Nioxin system (shampoo, conditioner and scalp treatment)

What I found was that, for me anyway, it did seem as if my head was less 'sweaty' or greasy (hard for me to say for sure since I buzz my head pretty closely)

Since I've been starting to regrow my hair I'm still going to use them and I really like the Nioxin products now that I can feel my hair, it seems very soft. Again, I'm new to having hair, I'm just letting you know what I've been using.
