Daily scalp care - hair almost all gone

Hi, I’ve just had my second dose of EC and most of my hair has now fallen out, I have maybe a quarter of it left. So Ive covered up with headscarves but with the recent hot weather Ive needed to wash it once or twice a day. I understand that once a day is good to keep cradle cap at bay, but can anyone recommend a shampoo to use? Ive used e45 dry scalp shampoo so far, this has been fine but Id be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks x

I’ve been using moogoo body wash on my scalp and it seems to be very moisturising. I also use moogoo scalp cream afterwards which is good. I’ve found as time has gone my scalp has settled down and is less sensitive as it was at first.
Edit: forgot to say I lost my hair on day 20 of first EC. I’ve be bald for a couple of months x

I’ve been using moo goo shampoo. It’s very mild and has no nasties in it.
My hair has nearly gone after 2 x EC.
I was advised to wash what’s left of my hair and scalp only occasionally so I’ve been doing so weekly. Also to cut it very short rather than shave it and then rub argan oil in every day though I haven’t started doing that yet.

Thank you - I’ve heard good things about Moogoo but it’s not cheap, so your insight is very helpful, thankyou x

Thank you, I will be investing in Moogoo I think! Is the Argan oil for moisturising? x

It is a bit expensive but I think it worth it. I had the body wash and a body moisturiser in a Little Lifts box so they were free. You can apply for a Little Lifts box here if you’ve not heard of it before. It’s such a nice thing to get through the post when we are going through this rubbish. :blush:

Yes, the argan oil keeps your scalp moisturised and I understand it can help the hair follicles. But yet to test out the theory!

I agree. It was a lovely gift to receive and had lots of nice goodies in it.

That sounds good, argan oil is in lots of hair products. I think I’ll stick to really bland stuff until I know how my scalp responds to all the meds. Good luck and thank you for the advice xx

I used Alberto Balsalm raspberry shampoo and then massaged oil into my scalp morning and night. My hair started to grow back about 8 weeks EC finished and I was still on Paxi. Not sure if just good luck or if it was due to increased blood supply due to massaging.
