I would like to ask if anyone has any knowledge of products that will encourage hair regrowth after chemotherapy treatment? I have searched the internet, but do not know whose claims to trust.

I have used eyelash and brow (Rapid Brow Eyelash Growth Enhancing Serum) treatment and it has worked absolute wonders, so was hoping I could get my hair going as well. Last chemo was in July and still not much sign of new growth.
Many thanks x

Mine started to grow back very quickly and when it reached about an inch it was curly but it didn’t stay curly after the first cut.

DH has been on and off chemo many times. Currently no chemo since Apr 24 so he has thick curly hair again. He restarts chemo in a few weeks so will soon be bald again. His is incurable cancer so Oncologist uses chemo to slow down the cancer growth.

Your hair will re-grow when your chemo stops and out of your system. Of course, a lot depends on how luxurious your hair was before chemo, but it will grow back. Have faith smile

Many thanks everyone for the reassurance and encouragement. I am trying a caffeine shampoo at the moment, which seems to at least give my hair a bit more body. The Rapid Lash is truly a magic bullet <3

pennyhapenny, which serum do you use? There are so many to choose from when I looked on Amazon, Thank you.

I got Rapid Brow Eyelash Growth Eyebrow enhancer from eBay. Prices vary wildly though! I paid £13.60 for a pack of two. It says 8 weeks on the box, but it was much quicker than that
