PostHeaderIcon Please tell me urgently where I can purchase the cold cap used to prevent hair loss in chemotherapy in India?


We don’t have time to purchase it from USA or Europe. So maybe somewhere in India or South East Asia where it would be available. I heard it is quite effective with the chemo drug Taxol & wish to try it out with my friend. Also, you can give me any idea about the gel which is used & how the cap is made, how it works & functions. So we may be able to create a similar cap here in India. Thanks & Regards.
I am really sorry I cannot be of much help to you. I have no idea where this can be purchased in India.

PostHeaderIcon Off Birth Control Pills and Hair loss?

I was on birth control pills for about 7 years and i stopped taking them about 1.5 month ago and still dont have my period just yet. How many months should I wait till I got my cycle again? And I noticed hair loss. If I want to go back to my birth control again, should I wait till I got my period first?
It will take about 3 months for the body to adjust to being off the pill as it tries to rid itself of the medication. As for going back on the pill I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say. As for the hair loss that could be related to a hormone imbalance.

PostHeaderIcon does biotin work for hair loss?

Does biotin work for hair loss or thinning hair? If it does, how long does it take to see results?
yes! of course!! year ago I suffered very much from dandruff and hair loss too and I started trying everything you can imagine to stop my hair loss. the things that really worked for me was: 1) Vitamin A – an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp; 2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The ‘B’ vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation; 3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage; 4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three); 5) also I used herbal treatment – Provillus (do not use Rogaine – it will not work!) It is a good products that helps prevent hair loss and contains Biotin and the clinically tested ingredients approved by the FDA to help re-grow your hair.! I think it is very important! It worked and still works for me! I do not know if any pharmacies carry Provillus but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer http://www.resisthairloss.com/Provillus

PostHeaderIcon How much does a typical hair transplant cost? I need a ballpark figure from the low end to the high end.?


It depends so much on the Dr. and the number of graphs done. Most Doc’s charge by the graft – I would say in the ballpark of $10,000. If you are considering doing it – do your research though. There are a LOT of quacks out there who should not be attempting this procedure. When my hubby did his he went to Dr. Victor Hasson of Hasson and Wong (he is da bomb!) in Vancouver, BC. There are plenty of websites you can visit online to get some feedback on Docs.

PostHeaderIcon When does significant hair loss start during chemotherapy?

I‘m going to start chemotherapy on Thursday. I understand that I will lose all my hair, and will probably shave my head. I’m just wondering, whether to do it before the first session, or if I can wait a little longer.
Mine started coming out about 10 to 14 days after my first treatment, I had it cut short before hand and when it started coming out I shave the rest of it. 

PostHeaderIcon When a person has cancer, what causes the hair loss – Is it the Cancer or Chemotherapy?

I watched a documentary about a lady that died from Cancer but she still had hair because she didn’t want any treatment but a relative had chemotherapy and now her hair is all gone.. So is it the cancer or the chemo that causes the hair loss? Thanks :)
chemo and/or radiation. I’m going through both for brain cancer. I was told that my chemo (taken orally every day) will not cause hair loss, but my radiation (directly to the brain) will. I’m expecting to lose patches of hair where the radiation beam goes in and where it comes out…..
