  • I went to my hairdresser to have a buzz cut just before my second chemo cycle, my oncologist said it would fall out a few days after that and I felt I couldn't face it while feeling tired and nauseous.  I felt better with it off. Good luck

    Some how I cut off all my message and only one line showed up.
    loosing my hair is ok but like you I don't want to wake up with a hairy pillow that won't be pleasant  
  • Hi Kylie,
    I had pretty long hair, and I decided to shave as soon as the first clump of hair started fell out - I didn't fancy having to vacuum up my hair from all over the house once it started to fall!
    I was too nervous to shave before that, as I still hoped in the back of my mind that it wouldn't fall out - needless to say I didn't have to live with my shaved head for long as it fell out pretty fast after shaving but waiting was definitely the right decision for me (especially now I'm trying to grow my hair back, I'm glad I enjoyed every single possible day with my long hair before it went!!).
    Good luck!
