Default Alpecin shampoo, after transplant?.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with alpecin shampoo?. I've just had a hair transplant and im thinking it may be better to use than normal shampoo.

Consult with your Dr and ask him before you do anything!

rlc26,

As NEWHAIRPLEASE has already stated, the best course of action when considering applying any product to a newly transplanted head it to consult your physician.

Good luck!

I'm using this shampoo along with Nizoral. Its really great. I love the smell and its very beneficial because it contains caffeine plus its not sticky so its useful for thin hair. I love the red one (DOUBLE EFFECT) for both hair loss and dandruff. I knew about it from my German workmate and been using it for a whole year now.

I do not rate it - it causes shedding so be warned.

Its harsh stuff and definitely not to be used just post op - let your scalp heal prior to introducing harsh shampoos.

totally agree with spex. This year when hair thinning hit me big time i used alpecin to try and counter it. It doesnt do anything. Foolishly since it was the only shampoo i still had in my house post HT, i used it for my first few shampoos....post HT....big mistake.....its just so thick and sludgy what happens is it gets stuck in the recipient area which is already full of scabs and a thick film of skin which u cant rub too hard and the alpecin just clogs things up

I liked Revita the best because it contains the active ingredients, volumizes and conditions too!

Alpecin and Revita were horrible for me, just use a sulfate free gentle one
