donating hair
Does anyone know if I can donate my hair after I have commenced Chemo? does it effect the hair quality etc?
thanks
That's a lovely thought. I am not sure, can only say that almost immediately after starting chemo, my hair felt simply awful, like it belonged to someone else. Didn't look too bad, but lost a lot of its normal shine.
I was really almost relieved to get it cut off and a few others on the network have made similar comments.
Hair is effectively dead cells anyway, so I don't know if the chemo has a long term effect if it used for wigs after treatment starts.
Perhaps the very helpful staff at Head Complements at Ringwood can advise?
Best wishes for your treatment.
