If you are going for chemotherapy how long does it take before your hair has fallen out?

Question

This would be for aggressive treatment

Definitly with this type of treatment there will be complete hair loss in terms of eyebrowns, eyelashes and hair. The first treatment was this past week.

Answer 1

It varies by person and the kind of drug used. I received a drug that was supposed to make me bald in two weeks. Instead, I lost my eyebrows, all hair below my waist, and most of my eyelashes. My head hair thinned out a lot too and became very dry and brittle but I never completely lost my hair. I did end up shaving it though because it became hard to manage and really frustrating to deal with (and lose, even if it was slowly). (AVBD therapy)

Answer 2

I think it was a bit over 2 weeks for me - head hair started falling out a bit after the second treatment. I suggest you consider getting a buzz cut. The hair makes a mess dropping all over and your scalp will be a bit tender. If you live in a cold climate get some knit hats or turbans because your head will get cold, even at night.

Mine grew back the same colour but thicker and curly.

Answer 3

It changes from person to person, some people don't lose a lot of hair, other lose them all in few days. It also depends of how much therapies you have. Hair grows back after the therapy is over ^^.

Answer 4

different times. Some people don't lose all their hair and some never lose any.
