The chemotherapy that your doctor prescribes attacks cancer cells. Unfortunately, the medications can also affect other rapidly growing cells including the cells at the roots of your hair and hair loss results.

Degrees of hair loss will vary. It is our observation that everyone of our clients who is taking chemotherapy for cancer experiences some hair loss. Nearly all clients experience significant hair loss to the point that they feel it affects their appearance and they choose to wear a hair replacement product.

Our clients usually see hair fall out from 10 to 14 days after they start treatment. Generally, significant hair loss is noted around day 17 - 21 and this is when we recommend clients transition to some form of hair replacement or head covering for best results and maximum comfort. Because we help our clients prepare for this time, well in advance, our client's experience little to no stress around the hair replacement process.

When your hair starts to grow back, it will probably be slightly different from the hair you lost. Your new hair may be curlier than it was before or it may be gray, it may even be slightly more or less coarse. Don't be alarmed, the change is usually temporary.

Radiation therapy directed at the scalp and head can also cause hair loss. Radiation may cause your scalp to be very sensitive so be cautious about what you wear to cover your head.
