minoxidil has to be used along with the hair transplant procedure
nizoral shampoo - ketoconazole is used for scalp in conjunction to minoxidil -- this might decrease irritation
some doctors recommend shampoos with zinc in it like Photonic max shampoo
I think alcohol based spray would be better than cream for keeping pores open

any insight in the anti irritation shampoo would be great -- i know of the 2 shampoos mentioned above and poly tar
Nizoral wasn't available here, I did want to try that. What I found helped me best was this shampoo called Clinic (or Clinique), some french company, quite common brand now. Its some super strong chemical stuff. Use that a few days and all dandruff would be history for some time. Since Minoxidil has dandruff type effects, it helped there too. However its all chemicals, if you get it in your eye, it will burn. Even after you wash your hair and the dripping water gets into your eye, it will still burn, its that strong stuff.
These days I'm using some organic shampoo which is Aloe Vera based. Along with a separate Organic conditioner. No other thing.
I've done some reading and it turns out almost all the foaming shampoos contain a lot of things in them which make them closer to floor cleaners than scalp cleaners with varying intensity. This shampoo contains no foaming, so initially it feels like you didn't get a good clean, but once the hair dries up it actually feels better than the regular shampoos.
