No problem, Lynn I'm glad to help where I can, sometimes the posts that are so fearful and desperate need replies so badly but the words just don't flow from my fingertips the way other peoples can.
So, you can get the Chemical removing Shampoos from a hair salon, I've tried the cheaper "deep cleansing" shampoos from the drugstore, but they left my hair so dry it snapped off even more.
I personally recommend Redken Cream Cleanse shampoo, followed Joico Phine conditioner (which also reduces residue. They are more expensive but they are only used once a week.As for the B's they are one of the few vitamins where the brand isn't terribly important, make sure they don't contain yeast though.
100mgs of B.complex
Plus 100 mgs of extra B5 (pantothenic acid) (its good for stress and for hair)
2cc of additional b12 2x a week this one should be a sublingual or liquid, its very important and difficult for your body to absorb in pill form, it also helps with depression.
A health food store will usually have the
sublingual form.
Flax oil doesn't have to be the expensive kind from a health food store, most grocery stores carry it now, it should be in a dark bottle (light affects it) and cold pressed. I take about 2tbsp per day,Oh, also extra vit b6 50 mgs per day, its easy to find an fairly inexpensive.
as for the vit A and E, I use the Grocery store jamieson Anti-ox, it also contains vitamin C, and some helpful minerals.
I really hope it helps you
There are some other things that are reputed to help if you're interested let me know, but I've found this alone to be effective, and adding more can get really expensive.Gabbi :)
