My hair grew back after chemo very thin any suggestions?

Question

My hair fell out completly from chemo and came back in very thin and I don't know what will help it thicken up.

Answer 1

Give it time, maybe use some pantene for thickening. My mother didn't lose her hair, she kept massaging her scalp. "Experts" say that doesn't work and it may not for everyone, but give it a stab. Still, patience and a good wig will help until it comes back. Good luck.

Answer 2

First off, congrats on making it through Chemo:)

My Mother-in-Law also lost all of her hair after Chemo. When it came back it was very brittle and very thin. Now 4 years later, it's as thick and healthy as it was before. She said she used(and this is so not like her, nothing usually makes her happier than saving money) some rather expensive shampoo and conditioner she bought at a Salon for that hair type(dry, thin, and brittle). So, try a local Salon and ask them what they recommend.

And once again, I am so happy you made it through;D

Answer 3

Hair growth treatments will not work,for hair that has fallen out due to Chemotherapy treatments,because it is the Radiation,that takes the hair out. The best thing to do is to buy a "human hair" wig,that is close to the length and color of the natual hair you had. (also),buy one that you can comb and style in more ways then one,so it looks more natural. Consult in a hair dresser,for she/he can tell you which wigs will suit your facial features,and eye color. (Note:) There are stores,that specialize in Wigs,for Chemo patients,but I would'nt recommend them,because the Wigs look phony.
(PS) I hope your having a nice day,today!.

Answer 4

Try Nioxin from a hair salon. I know someone who used it after chemo and it worked really well!

Answer 5

Rogain may help, but a wig is not a bad way to go.

Answer 6

You can always cut it off and get a wig. That is what my mothers friend did.
