Hi,
I finished 10 sessions of radiotherapy about 3 weeks ago. I’ve noticed that my hair has become limp and greasy ( something that never usually happens).
Has anyone experienced this or similar ? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Due to being on Oestrogen blockers which is more likely the cause I’m not sure which shampoos may help ?
Thankyou for the reply. I’ve been using baby shampoo from the beginning but now it’s very greasy whereas my hair is usually dry. It’s reassuring that it hopefully will return to its natural condition thanks
Mine has but it does take time. Mine took a full year before it was 100% back to before radiotherapy.. I'm the exact opposite my hair was always a bit greasy but now dry. Xxx Gail x
