chemotherapy and hair loss?

Question

Does anyone know of anything that can help prevent hair loss as much from chemo?

thanks everybody..

Answer 1

There isn't any thing you can do to prevent it, depending on the chemo you are getting, it will either thin out, fall out and as someone already stated it might not come out at all.
You need to ask your Onocologist how severe the loss will be.
The if you think you would be comfortable wearing a wig, get one before it starts coming out and get some hats and scarves, Cut your hair short before it starts coming out so that its not as tramatic.
I have lost mine 3 times over the past 3 years once the chemo treatment stops the hair begins to recover I am 7 months out of my last treatment and have a short curly do.
Thats the other strange thing with chemo is alot of people that never had curly hair get really curly hair when it grows back in.

Its temporary, its only hair, it will grow back

Good luck to you

Answer 3

Depending on the chemotherapy, hair loss either happens or it doesn't. The hair loss, unfortunately is complete - everywhere on your body. Some chemotherapies are more apt to cause hair loss than others. However, everyone can respond a little differently to their treatment. I knew of a patient who received a chemotherapy that absolutely caused hair loss and he did not lose his hair....go figure! It's a good idea to prepare beforehand by getting a wig that matches your current color/syle etc, or cut your hair short before hand to minimize the shock of long hair falling out. There are also a lot of scarves and hats that look great.

Answer 4

There is nothing that will totally stop from loss it and many of the treatments mentioned won't and can't be used on all chemo treatment patients. Not all chemo make you loss your hair totally. It just might thin. Wigs are the best solution.

My personal option bald is not beautiful. The ones that say it is when they loss their hair also let it grow back after treatment. Whose kinding who.

Answer 5

Depending on the type of chemotherapy, hair loss may be mild or complete. Unfortunately, it can't be preventd from happening, but rest assured, your hair will grow back once the chemotherapy is done, sometime fuller and with more body than it did before!
