Brief Answer:
Use a good conditioner along with the shampoo
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Yes you can use salicylic acid and ketoconazle shampoo regularly but its better to restrict its use to once in a week when there is no active infection.
Use of such combination has no side effects but they make your scalp and hair very dry, so its prudent to use a good conditioner every time after washing your scalp with such shampoo.
Hope the information was useful to you.
let me know if you require any further assistance from my side.
Take care
