How can I improve my post-chemo hair regrowth?

Heidi, I’m off chemo since late December and my hair is slowly growing back. Yes, curly, but I’m using a Biotin/Collagen based shampoo daily and was told to not do anything until enough hair grows back. I also had long, thick hair and this is difficult. I’m also taking a biotin vitamin. The pharmacist told me to stay away from other meds because the hair loss was “chemotherapy,” based and not inherited alopecia. Minoxidil not recommended she said. Best wishes to both of us. I’m still in a nice wig. Helps self-esteem. 🙏

Post-chemo hair regrowth can be frustrating, especially when dealing with texture changes and scalp irritation. Many fellow community members have found success discussing scalp care routines with their oncology team or dermatologist, particularly for managing itchiness which can sometimes interfere with healthy regrowth. Have others in the community experienced similar changes in hair texture after treatment?
