Hair loss question

in Day to day
Hi Everyone, so it is day 20 after my first chemo and when i washed my hair this morning I noticed that there was way more hair than usual in my hands on then on my towel when drying it.. I keep it naturally short and am going to shave it. Today is Tuesday and my best mate is a hairdresser who is going to come over for dinner and shave it for me on Sunday.
My question is do you think it will last til Sunday, my hubby thinks it is all going to fall out before then and wants to do it tonight.. I think it will last til Sunday....
Can anyone she any light ??

In my experience, once it goes it goes fast. You can of course try waiting and see what happens. Like everything with chemo, it varies!
I have donated my braids to this company in case your daughter does not know what to do with hers.. it just ada to the ‘experience’ of it all..

I am sure you are both going to rock the bald look! 💃🏼🥰
The up side, if there is such a thing, is that the first shower with a bald noggin is amazing.

I was told hair falls out from day 17 of starting chemo. I shaved my to a number 1 blade as chemo started. I only had tiny hsirs then to fall out and they did at day 17 and within 4 days it was all gone. I had treatment in winter and my head was very cold so beanies and felt hats were great.
Your daughter must be a wonderful support and very brave too. I hope your treatment goes well. Your hair will grow back quickly once treatment ends. Take care
the armpits then the fanny
its all grown back quiet nicely
