Ok, all!! I have found some pretty good hair care products. For me anyway and you never know you may like it as well. I started using the Nioxin shampoo and conditioner before treatment. Started off good but soon found my hair feeling limp. So now I tried Burt's Bees shampoo and conditioner (not all in one) and it is amazing. Actually makes my hair feel thicker and with all the hair loss that's pretty amazing. It almost feels like it leaves a waxy film. on it and that concerned me at first cause my hair is was very oily Not so oily since I started treatment. Anyway, i mix it up from day to day, some days uing Nioxin shampoo and BB's conditioner next day BB"S shampoo and Nioxin conditioner. You get the idea!! My hair actually looks nice and feels nice somedays. This could change next week but for the last month or so it seems to be working. Not to mention I don't have to wash my hair everyday like beore treatment. Hope this helps anyone who maybe having a hard time with their hair like me.
Have a great day all!! :)

ANY help for hair is worth a shot! I've been using Paul Mitchell shampoo, conditioner, and a comb out serum called "skinny."
I went before starting tx to a hair dresser that has had many Cancer patients as clients. I had some length cut off, and then she set me up with these products. She said " Only shampoo every third day, don't scrub your hair or scalp, kind of massage it clean with the shampoo. Disturb the hair as little as possible. You can get it wet each day in the shower, then use the rinse out conditioner on it and the Skinny stuff before combing it with a large tooth comb. Don't use the Skinny on the top of you head, just down the length of the strands of hair. Start combing from the bottom up. Don't start at the scalp." So I've done that and have probably lost maybe 20% of my hair and the loss has slowed considerably since I finished the Incevik.
I'm hoping that it stays like this, or stops entirely...but that's not likely probably.
