Suggest Treatment For Dry And Thin Hair

I am currently receiving chemo treatments (Alimta) and my hair is not only thinning but it is very dry, the ends are almost like shredded wheat. I wash & condition my hair once a week to minimize hair loss in addition to not having dirty oily hair. I currently use Morrocon oil and sometimes even coconut oil and my hair is still dry. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi,

Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. As of now you can take zinc containing multivitamins for symptomatic relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
