OK this is so silly I know, but someone had posted a certain brand of shampoo that they really felt help bring their hair back to normalNormal saline flush after surgery. Which one was it??? I jotted it down on a scrap paper here at my desk and do you think I can find it now? ugh!
Time and a hat are your best friends until your hair get back to "normalNormal saline flush". I used numerous shampoos and conditioners and did not find any the was truly outstanding. My hair dresser recommended Biolage Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner. I've been using that for about 4 months now. I also use the Biolage leave-in conditioner. I also use a oil treatment every time before I blow dry that proved thermal protection by Bill Friede.
It's been 7 months since my RAI and my hair looks fairly healthy considering how dry and brittle it became, but it still hasn't reached normalNormal saline flush. Before RAI if I skipped a day washing my hair, it became very oily. My hair is never oily now. It also grew back in curlier, which I like that part of it!
I like the" Pantene" brand labeled for hair strengthening. Now that my hair is mostly normalNormal saline flush again I use "Pantene" classic clean formula.
nioxin is what has been recommended a lot on this board. I have used Nioxin for the last 2 years (my MIL is a beautician and I haven't bought my own shampoo in 10 years b/c she always sends me the huge bottles) and I can't say that it's done anything to help my hairloss.
Ooops... let me clarify: my hairloss started AFTER my TT in May of '07, so maybe it would have even been worse had I not already been using Nioxin? Who knows.
