Anyone used anything that helps with chemo hair loss?

Unfortunately it does take awhile to come back. You can investigate vitamins and supplements but in addition to those, my integrative medicine doctor recommends rosemary essential oil. You must mix it with a carrier oil (like jojoba oil or any that you like) because it is too strong on its own. Just mix about a half teaspoon of carrier oil and five or six drops of rosemary oil in your hand and apply it to your scalp.
Patience is required! Best wishes to you, Cindy

Caveat emptor: There are a number of high priced products on the market that mix rosemary oil with carrier oil or whatever. $27 for 2 ounces? Doing your own rosemary and carrier oil mix is so much less expensive.

Yes on the Rosemary essential oil and the carrier oil. I also put a few drops of the Rosemary in my Plant Based Shampoo and Conditioner. Cosmetic companies haven’t been regulated by the FDA since the 1970’s and can put anything in their products. Stay away from items with fragrance and parabens (the parabans act as estrogen).
