Hair thinning after chemo

Hi Twirly 

I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

I lost my hair during chemo and it took quite a while for it to get back to normal. While it was still in the growing back phase, I used the mildest shampoo I could, didn't use conditioner and let it dry naturally. 

Hopefully yours will back to normal soon.

Hi twirly.

I lost my hair whilst on capox.it did take a while to regrow but then was advised to use mild baby shampoo only wash a couple of times a week and no other chemicals at all.I did get a wig on the nhs which gave me confidence *(i paid a little extra on top of the prescription to get more choice)

Ps.annoyingly those pesky chin hairs didnt fall out at all.

Thank you. I didn’t loose my hair but it’s definitely thinner and not really growing, I’ll look up milder shampoo. 

I used shampoo for babies.
