About Chemo Hair Regrowth Products

Overview

Chemotherapy is a prescription drug administered intravenously to treat cancer. As a result of chemo treatments, patients usually lose their hair. This hair loss can be both embarrassing and devastating to cancer patients. However, there are many regrowth products available for patients who lose their hair.

Minoxidil

Minoxidil is a topical treatment that is rubbed into the scalp. Minoxidil circulates blood flow to the scalp and stimulates hair follicles to grow hair.

Natural Products and Supplements

Natural products and supplements also help with hair regrowth. Aloe vera (in a gel rubbed into the scalp) and supplements such as vitamin E and ginkgo biloba stimulate hair growth.

Nioxin

Nioxin products help thinning and balding hair. Nioxin offers a wide variety of shampoos, conditioners and hair treatments to stimulate hair growth.

Scalp Massages

By massaging the scalp daily, blood circulates better and stimulates hair follicles. As a result, hair follicles are activated and grow hair.

Warning

Cancer patients should check with their doctors before using hair-regrowth products. If patients are taking prescription medication, these hair-regrowth products could have a negative interaction with the drugs.
