Hi M,

I used Nioxin during chemo, etc. to counteract the itch and twangs of being bald.

When it became evident that my new hair was going to be wild, I bought anti-frizz shampoo's and conditioners. I bought a straightening iron and employed waxes and glossers, ad nauseum.

1.5 years out of baldness, I'm using regular products, not my previous extra body products. Put leave in conditioner on the wild ends.

So I think it might be worthwhile to see a hairdresser to get some ideas.

I have always had very fine hair, so the chemo curls were an improvement. I just didn't know how to deal with them. I think my hair will be back to normal in a year, judging how straight new growth is coming in.

Have fun, BB
