Shaving head to bald - do I go to a barber?
Hi ladies, Just diagnosed with BC early May and have done 3 out of 4 chemo sessions. I have a tiny bit of grey hair left all over but wanted to maybe shave it all off completely by going to a barber (...
Just a couple of questions about shaving. I found some advice online from a hairdresser who suggested only shaving to a no 2 and using a lint roller a few times a day to stop it hurting and prevent inflammation because the whole hair hadn’t fallen out. So I did that and have been left with a very sparse, patchy no 2 that won’t fall out or be pulled out after 3 FEC cycles! I don’t think it is growing but I am not a big fan of the current convict look and am considering either going even shorter or the whole hog. Will be starting weekly Taxol soon which may make the decision for me. Have any of you had any problems with follicles after a really close or complete shave? Also did your hair stubble stick around but not get longer? Oh the joys of chemo! 🤪
