I rubbed coconut oil regularly into my scalp. My hair has grown back thicker than it was before I had cancer. All the best with your treatment xx

I did nothing, bit of shower gel in the shower and that was it 😬. When it started growing in I bought special shampoo for thicker growth, not sure it does anything though. Have full if slightly thinner head of hair

I just washed my head in the shower, using a very gentle non perfumed shower. I didn't wear a wig and tried to leave my head uncovered whenever I could. My hair grew back fine after the chemo.

Always where a hat or scarf when out in the sun to avoid sunburn.
