If hair is saved after Cold Cap with Paclitaxel, when can hair be treated normally. Ie colouring etc
I've completed 4 EC and 10 Paclitaxel (2 to go). Look like I have kept most of my hair. What advise can anyone give, re treating hair after Cold Cap and Chemo. How long before blow drying? Colouring?
