How long after an HT, can i start shampooing with my regualr shampoo (H&S)after a HT. Its been 3 months and im still using baby shampoo. Can i go back to regular?

Yes, you can start using the H&S. But, do you have dandruff still? I think that shampoo is still harsh, even if you haven't had a transplant; and I would think it would be better for you if you didn't use it every day. Maybe twice a week?

What shampoo do u think is best? i just purchased the Gillette "Clean and Thickening Shampoo"..Can i use that as my daily shampoo?

Helllo Thinman,
I know this is a little bit off the topic of the shampoo, but I have made a reservation with Dr. Alba Reyes Sagiv for 2009 and I would just like to find out how is your transplant progressing in? and what is the follow-up from the clinic like? Is the service good?

Thanks.

Hi mmhce,
The transplant is progressing very well. You have made a great choice by choosing Alba Reyes. The team is extremely nice and professional. The service was nothing short of expectations. They provide you with a driver who will take you from the clinic to the hotel and to the airport. Dr. Alba Reyes is a very experienced doctor. She knows exactly what she is doing. They made me feel right at home. It was a wonderful experience for me.

Thank you.

If you have any latest pics of your transplant, please post the link.

Thanks again.

We tell patients to use whatever they like after day 10.

I personally prefer nutragena t-gel shampoo. Helps dry skin more than anything I have seen.

Lindsey Medical does NOT sell fancy shampoos that advertise hair growth properties as there has been no controlled scientific studies published in a peer reviewed journal to substantiate their success. Some docs sell their own brand of shampoo to increase the bottom line.

The only problem with t-gel is that is smells like the tar in it--a bit. If you want your hair to smell really good, wash out the t-gel and do a rinse with something that smells nice.
