Ketoconazole Scalp Serum vs Shampoo
Ketoconazole shampoo rinses off after a few minutes and can leave your hair dry and straw-like. A 2% ketoconazole scalp serum goes directly on your scalp, barely touches your hair and stays on, so the active ingredient has time to work. Mel noticed less shedding with it, even though she never had dandruff or flaking.
What it is
UluRx Ketoconazole 2% Scalp Serum is a prescription leave-on serum for flaking, itch and scalp-related shedding, with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E. It pairs with any UluRx hair serum.

The reason why most of you don’t want to use ketoconazole is the shampoo absolutely turns your hair to straw. This is a serum. It goes directly on your scalp. If applied correctly, it should barely touch your hair, and it’s not going to dry your hair out. This is game-changing. I didn’t think I had an issue, because I didn’t have dandruff or flakiness. When we were creating this as a serum, I tried it, and I was like, am I shedding less? I have less shed with this. So you may not think you have a fungus or a folliculitis or inflammation, but this was game-changing for me, and this is our ketoconazole serum.
