if using anything shampoo or conditioner w/ alcohol causes the area where had surgery done to be sore, uncomfortable. Does any1 else have such problem? I never did until after going through the brain surgeries.

The only thing I remember when washing my hair, was I would massage my head roughly. Then when I got to the other side, I would massage it very gently. I was a strange feel washing that side.

Mine has been 14 years & it gets sensitive especially in cold weather. I don't notice it much when watching my hair though

Nope. You can't even tell I had surgery. And that was after a few days. I wash my hair all the time!!!

I had a tumour on the brain removed when I was in my late 20’s, but due to the fact that I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 15 they don’t know if they are linked.
