I used Nioxin. I seem to lose a lot of hair when I wash it. i think partly it is due to the Feramra.
But I do need to add, it has been about 4 yrs post chemo, and I honestly feel like my natural hair now is better then ever. I really like it. It is dark and very curly. It may have thinned, but with the curls it is not that noticable.
