I used the Moo Goo scalp care cream all the way through chemo. I used the Moo Goo shampoo as well, even though I had little hair. Now that my hair is growing back I use the Moo Goo conditioner as well as the shampoo. I use the moisturizer and deodorant too. They do not contain any nasty chemicals and are recommended by a lot of women on here. Take care. Deanne xxx

I am concerned at how often opinion gets presented as fact when it comes to cancer. My standard response to a lot of these claims is 'How interesting. Where can I see the data for that?" I think it's reasonable to conclude that if a particular chemical has been classified as carcinogenic following legitimate research then putting it on your body is a bad idea. The fact that your mother uses hair dye and doesn't relapse makes her lucky, but it doesn't prove that the hair dye was free from carcinogens. Unfortunately the only way to be sure is to check all of the ingredients by searching with the ingredient name and 'cancer'. 

Or you can just take you chances.

But it's still important to differentiate between opinion and fact because statements like 'organic is hard to police because insecticides travel in the air' scare people. In fact, organic is very easy to police because they test the soil. If pesticides have been carried in the air they will show up in the soil.

 

Hi there,

I've been using organic rosehip oil (Trilogy brand) on my head since I started chemo and it's wonderful. My hair is growing back and I'm not using shampoo at all, just a body wash by 'Uniquely Natural' that smells divine and has no nasty chemicals. I use this all over my body. I put the oil on as soon as I get out of the shower while I'm still wet. The woman at the 'look good feel better' worksop was so impressed that she asked me what I'd been doing to have my scalp in such good condition. As an added bonus, I'm not rubbing nasty chemicals on my skin.

If you google the moo goo website they have a product for dry scalps etc. have not used it but love the moisturiser. Good luck. Paula xx

Well it's 4 months and my cover is sparse grey with some bits thicker than others. Still sticky up on top!

I use a light sorbolene moisturizer with a few drops of bio oil rubbed in after I wash with baby shampoo. Does this sound like the stuff we should do?

I don't wear hats etc except in the sun and finsd my scalp does get a little dryish.

By the way my Yr1 kids were great and now the whole school knows my sparseness now and I've got over most of the self consciousness -still a little in public as it looks a bit 'butch'! Must get back on my motorbike and really play it up!

Well done to you Deanne for getting through the Chemo stage of your treament.  I am 6 months since my hair started to grow back.  We are all very different, so I have noticed with the hair subject.  I wish you well with your hair growth.  It is all to do with the chemo, and cells, so once the chemo is out of the system, our hair seems to grow better.  I wore the wig until I had enough hair and my husband said, "I prefer you without the wig"  Climate has a lot to do with that too.  Once again, personal decisions.  I recall waiting for the last minute before I shaved mine, still have photo of my hair in the sink piled up.  We are more sensitive to the sun during chemo, and I always covered after my 10 mins of Vitamin D.  The problem being that if you dont get any sun you need to take vit d caps!  (immune system).  I like my hair being coloured, but wont be thrilled to have to do the regrowth each time.  I tried to pick something close to what I had before it fell out.  It has gone a bit dry, but I expected that.  I just want to look like I did before, and the short, grey, curl is so opposite!

Have a good day!
