Hair loss (alopecia) in chemotherapy

During treatment, your hair may get thinner or may fall out entirely, depending on which chemotherapy drugs you are given. You may also have hair loss from your eyebrows, eyelashes and body. Your hair will grow back after treatment ends, but it may be a different color or texture. Using mild shampoos, soft hair brushes and low heat when drying your hair may help reduce hair loss. Some women may choose to cut their hair short beforehand to gain some control. If you would like to wear a wig, it is a good idea to get it before treatment begins so you can match your hair color and style.
