As for your nails dependant on your type of chemo you may have issues I was told by the chemo nurse to keep them painted black and whilst I have issues its not too bad. they are very thin and with ridges and break at the ridges, still I have managed to keep them.
I had long hair and got it cut before my 1 st chemo, my hair started to fall out after 2 weeks and my husband shaved it off after about a month as it was just coming out in clumps.

Take care
