Best shampoo for post-transplant care?

What shampoo do you guys recommend for post-transplant care? My clinic gave me a bottle but it's running out and it's expensive to ship from Turkey. I've heard baby shampoo works well, but I want something that will help with healing and growth. Any specific brands that helped with your recovery? Also, when did you switch back to regular shampoo?

I used Johnson's Baby Shampoo for the first 2 weeks, then switched to Nizoral 2% twice a week. The baby shampoo is gentle and won't irritate the grafts. Nizoral helps with any fungal issues and keeps the scalp healthy. Avoid any shampoos with harsh chemicals or fragrances for the first month.

My clinic recommended Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength. Worked great and helped with the itching. I also used a gentle conditioner after week 2. The key is to be very gentle when washing - no scrubbing or massaging the transplanted area for at least 2 weeks.

I personally found that the Nioxin System Kit was the best shampoo for post-transplant care. It's a bit on the pricier side, around $40 for the kit, but it really helped with promoting hair growth and keeping my scalp healthy. I started using it about a month after my transplant and noticed a difference in the thickness and strength of my new hair growth within a couple of weeks. One thing to keep in mind is that everyone's experience may vary, so what worked for me might not work for someone else. It's always best to consult with your transplant surgeon or dermatologist to see what they recommend based on your individual needs. But for me, Nioxin was a game-changer in my post-transplant care routine.

I found that using a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo like OGX Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco really helped with my post-transplant care. It's been about six months since my procedure, and this shampoo has kept my scalp clean without causing any irritation or dryness. Plus, it's affordable and widely available at most drugstores or online retailers. However, I did notice that it didn't lather as much as traditional shampoos, but I've heard that's actually better for your hair health. Overall, I've been really happy with the results and would recommend it to anyone going through the same process.
