What is the best shampoo for someone going through chemo?

My heart goes out to you as you start chemotherapy. My mom just went through it herself. The effects of chemotherapy on your system will determine which shampoo you should chose.

While everyone experiences chemotherapy a little differently, the two issues you will likely face that will affect your choice of shampoo will be an enhanced sense of smell (due to the loss of nasal hair) and the loss of some of or most of the hair on your head. In reference to your heightened sense of smell, you’ll want to pick a shampoo whose scent you can tolerate. You might be able to find unscented or sensitive skin formulas that you can tolerate.

Even if you lose most of your hair to chemo, you still will want to use shampoo on your scalp. Your scalp skin is very delicate and needs special care to keep it from being irritated. Body soaps and facial cleansers will likely irritate it too much.

From cancer.about. Com -quote Hair Care Tips During Chemotherapy…. Use a gentle shampoo, like baby shampoo and mild conditioner, every 3 to 5 days to keep hair healthy looking.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
