5 Tips for Chemo Hair Regrowth

🙌🏻Hands up if you lost your hair to cancer. 🙌🏻

My hair has always meant A LOT to me. As a natural redhead, people identify me by my hair. 💇🏻‍♀️It’s not vanity. It’s part of who I am and what I choose for myself.

So when my hair all fell out from chemo, it was tough. Like really tough!😭

The process of growing it back out seemed so far in the future. I would sit on my couch googling hair regrowth at 6 months, 1 year, 5 years…what could I expect?😳

Well I’ve taken the google work off your plate! Here is my hair regrowth.

But you can use science backed strategies to speed up the hair regrowth process! I’m giving 5 simple and science backed tips right now!

🚨🚨Save this short for later! This is a good one. 🚨🚨

🍗Hit protein target levels

Certain amino acids are needed for hair regrowth. We get amino acids from protein! If you are diligent about hitting your target levels, you will get better hair regrowth results.

💆‍♀️Scalp Massage

Scalp massage helps with blood flow which will help stimulate hair growth. Incorporate this into your routine twice a day.

🌱Use Rosemary oil

Rosemary oil has the most evidence to promote hair regrowth when compared to other herbals!

💦Hydrate

Hydration is key for cancer recovery and this includes hair regrowth too

🥕Eat plant forward

Vitamins and mineral play a key role in hair regrowth. Start with a half plate of veggies at each meal.

You don’t have to get lost in a lonely google search! There’s a cancer community for you right here!

Shaved mine yesterday on New Year’s Day. Tired of hair falling out onto everything. I wish there were more ideas out there other than beanies, scarves or wigs. …. maybe how to tie a scarf in different ways or in a way to give some lift… not flat on the head. It’s hard enough dealing with this stupid cancer, but to know how ugly i feel makes it worse.

My hair won’t grow back. It grew back a little bit to probably the top of my neck and it won’t grow anymore.
