Hi Ladies
Mind if i join in, i have suffered from oily hair all my life, now with the PCOS, i find if i don't wash my hair everyday the days that i don't wash it, my hair is oily and you can see my scalp at the top where the hairline is, i also have thryoid disease so that may be thinning my hair.

Anyways my question is, can that Dandruff Shampoo Nizoral be used on oily hair, and on the bottle it says 1-2 times a week intially and than to taper off, so do i just use it once a week??? isn't it too much to be using it everyday or every other day, i know its got some pretty harsh chemicals in it?

Also Dr. Weil suggest trying 500 mg of primoise oil taking that twice a day maybe help with thinning hair.

Thanks
