Oh brother....I have been using Nioxin shampoo and conditioner ever since I started with my new growth of hair post-chemo. It is suppose to be very good in stimulating and conditioning the new hair follicles. You can actually feel the "tingle" when you use the products and it recommends you really massage it in for a good minute. My new hair growth is thick, black, and very soft and I presume probably due to the Nioxin which I have recommeded for use on another thread at this HER2 site.
I am so sick to hear that now the tea tree oil might mimic estrogen and promote hyperplasia.
