While you should avoid the hot tools, feel free to have fun with thickening shampoos and conditioners, such as Bumble and bumble Thickening Volume Shampoo, $28, along with products such as R+Co Rodeo Star, $32, to help amplify what you've got.
Root sprays are another helpful option. Go for tinted versions like Rita Hazan Root Concealer Touch-Up Spray, $25, to conceal thinning along with any color differences, or enjoy creating volume with Living Proof Full Root Lift, $29. Just be sure to be mindful of how much heat you use.
"Don't lose hope," Dr. Engleman counsels. "Those of us who are dedicated to skin, hair, and nail health will help you. It's a really stressful and difficult time for people, and I hate to see the sadness that it inflicts. But don't give up because it takes time. If you feel like your doctor isn't helping you navigate this journey, then find another one because there are plenty of us who feel very confident we can help you get your hair back."
