DURING CANCER TREATMENT AND HAIR LOSS
During Cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy may cause you to lose all or some of your hair. The hair loss may begin 1-3 weeks after your first round of treatment and could significantly worsen after 1-2 months. Your hair may fall out quickly in clumps or in gradual stages over a period time. You will most likely notice accumulations of loose hair on your pillow, in your hairbrush, or in the shower.
Fortunately, your hair will most likely grow back. Hair usually grows back 6-8 weeks after you’ve
completed treatment. Although, it is very common for your hair to grow back a different colour and or different texture than it was before the treatment. You may find your hair to be more curly or even grey in colour. This is because the cells that control pigment have not regenerated yet. It can take up to a year to see your original hair grow back. During the hair loss period
We hold a large supply of ready made wigs that can be customised to your needs.
