Anyone used anything that helps with chemo hair loss?

Has anyone used anything that has been effective for chemo hair loss? Mine is coming back, but slowly. It is patchy and frizzy and right now seems like it will be years before it is presentable.

I'VE BOUGHT many bottles of minoxidal - but, I don't use it - cause it needs to be used EVERY DAY! Wet hair everyday its not happening for me.
Had Prp injections. waste of a lot of money. Unless you can afford to go back.
then you can afford to go back.
you can afford to go back. $$$
Please what have you used that was successful?
I think Anestrozol thinned my hair. I'm furious w Dr. that ENCOURAGED! ME to use that horrible stuff. I changed Dr because of that!

Thanks, Mari-
A friend had success with HERS, but reading the cautions, it looks like it is associated with a breast cancer risk. I only want something that does not have any kind of cancer risk.
