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.
