Re: Chemotherapy Permanent Hair Loss

I am curious if anything worked for others. I have the Aveda shampoo, but not the other products. My hair started falling out in gobs at first with it . . . hmmmm. Minoxidil, Rogaine - expensive and not that effective.

Argh . . . I'd like more hair for Christmas.
