Hiya just finished chemo 2 weeks ago any tips on what i can put on my scalp to help my hair grow quicker or any reccomend shampoos im completely bald thankyou 

  • I didn't use anything at all on my hair other than water for the first few months or so. Be prepared that it takes a long time to come back. For me, it didn't really look like there was much there until 3-4 months in. It then grew very slowly for at least another year.

    When I started using cleansing products, I stuck to paraben/SLS etc free stuff and still use that.

  • I used this light scalp oil from Même cosmetics every day throughout chemo up until my hair grew back and I couldn't really spray it on anymore. I also used their 'care shampoo' when my hair started growing back and was enough to warrant washing. My hair grew back nicely and good quality - how much is down to the products I don't know, but I like to think they helped! From time to time I use the left over spray on my hair before bed and brush it through/massage my scalp as an extra bit of nourishment for my scalp :)

  • Hi estartit, whilst I didn’t go completely bald, I did loose most of my hair. I had the Gollum look. I finished my chemo in April (my hair started to grow back whilst I was on docetaxel) and now I have a complete covering. It’s about 1 and a half centimetres in length . I use Faith in Nature Shampoo and a hair serum from UK lash. I also use their eyebrow and eyelash serums too. My eyebrows are completely back and my eyelashes are doing well. I have included the link for you should you wish to have a look.

  • Definitely try Rosemary, ginger & mint water, Rosemary Oil, Faith in nature shampoo, Watermans Hair Growth Shampoo, Lee Stafford Hair Growth shampoo , Aveeno Shampoo. 

    These are all things I'm going to try once I finish my chemo treatments. I just shaved all my hair off couldn't deal with the pain of watching it fall out. 

    Hope these help you. Xx
