How to deal with cancer hair

SunShineEveryDay profile image

Hello beautiful ladies!

For those of you with with the lovely, frizzy, dry, brittle, lifeless cancer hair, just wet your hair, massage 2 eggs into your hair, shampoo and rinse!

Eggs are a nutrient-rich hair superfood. Vitamins A and E, biotin, and folate are just some of the nutrients found in eggs that are said to help keep hair thick and healthy. The yolk is loaded with healthy fats, which help replenish moisture and make your look sleek and shiny!

Let me know if you look like Sofia Vergara afterwards! 🤣

I’m going to do it today! :)

Haven’t washed my hair in over a week!

I also put some coconut oil in my wet hair. Or I spray it afterwards with some type of oil nurishment to bring out my curls and get rid of the frizz. :)

Yes! Doing great except for my dry brittle hair which is a hot mess! I live at the beach in NC where humidity is started to kick up so my hair, what’s left of it will be a frizzy mess. Will try the eggs and let you know how it goes! Thanks for the tip!

I am going to try that! My hair has lost so much volume and is hard to manage. I recently got it cut very short as that seems the easiest thing to do. I wear a pixie cut wig when I go out and everything thinks it looks great, but I miss my nice, thick, easy to style hair. I will let you know how this goes! Thank you.

I love short pixie hair on women. It shows such confidence and is so stylish. I’m sure the women on the golf course love it.

Is your wig made from real hair? I’m losing so much hair as well, and it’s very dry and brittle. Same as my nails. Luckily, I had so much hair prior to, I didn’t know what to do with it, 😂

For my skin, I made this most fabulous scrub of fine sugar, a bit of honey, a bit of lemon juice and coconut oil and my skin has never been so soft in my whole life as I always had extreme dry (crocodile) skin on my legs. Even my heels are as soft as a baby’s bum. 😜

Much love,

Miriam

Thank you. Everyone thinks it looks cute and I also had it colored. The one good thing is that because it does not grow very fast, I can go every 10 weeks for a cut and color instead of every 6 or 8. I have two wigs, one is all synthetic and one is hybrid (part synthetic, part human hair). The synthetic one is a pixie cut, the other is longer. I find I wear the synthetic one more as it is easier to style. I have been having my nails done with a dip at a local salon and they look really nice. I had been having problems with them being brittle and not growing and decided I did not like that. I bought all of the products from them including the clippers, files, etc. so they are only mine and do not get contaminated. The skin product you made sounds great! Take care. Hugs

Great suggestion, thanks for mentioning it! Going to try this today. I wonder if the eggs can also strengthen the follicles somehow to prevent any measure of thinning many of us deal with?

Another game changer that may be useful to you and the other ladies here is MSM powder / granules. You can add a tiny scoop to water or juice and it’s very helpful in lessening the dry brittle hair, also softens skin, and is great for joint pain especially for people who exercise a lot and tend to get sore that way. I noticed a dramatic difference in my hair and skin after a couple of weeks or so, the hair I noticed when I was washing it. (It works from the inside out).

I’m not sure yet if MSM helps our hair from thinning from meds/ treatments yet; after stopping anastrozole a year and a half ago and losing half of my hair to thinning, the half that fell out grew back and has now grown in past my chin. (The rest is longer).

I’m noticing some additional hair starting to show on my hairbrush again, 3-4 months into this next round of newer meds…I’m really hoping it doesn’t start coming out in clumps again like last time! Fingers crossed.

Appreciate the tip!

I buzzed my hair cause it was soooo thin and stringy and made me look sick. Now I wear a wig all the time and get complimented on my hair lol💕. Theresa

Wish I knew this before I had a crew cut 🤭Oh well I can still try it out on my short, dry hair - maybe just the one egg though!

Remember to rinse with cool, or colder water, or you will have a difficult time getting it out of your hair. I remember using mayonnaise many years ago.😇

Yeah, hahaha

For this like me with curls, we need to either apply some coconut oil in wet hair or a spray with some oil to spray on dry hair. :)
