Hi, I’m on my 2nd chemo cycle. My hair was coming out in shedloads so yesterday I braved the shave and got my hairdresser to do the deed. To be honest now it’s gone I feel much better.

im not sure what products to use on my scalp. I did find an oatmeal shampoo that’s really lovely. I have bought some moo goo moisturiser, to try. 

  • Hi, I was fairly lucky with my scalp skin and I just showered with water and no products. I didn't have any itchiness or flakiness.  You can always give the lovely folks here at Macmillan a call to see if they have any recommendations if you are concerned. The number is 0800 808 0000.  Best wishes

  • Can recommend the Jennifer Young Defiant Beauty scalp care balm. Daughter found it really calmed her scalp and was a pleasure to use. 

  • Also sign up for Look Good Feel Better workshop online about Hair and Scalp care - it’s very helpful. 
    Enjoy your hair free days! I had my hair shaved on Tuesday and it’s much more comfortable, 

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
