I too started losing hair about two weeks after my first chemo treatment. I had my hair cut very short beforehand - short hairs are a lot less unpleasant to deal with (I wore a cotton cap at night and just shook it out in the morning!). Be prepared also for your hair to feel strange before it goes - mine felt like someone else’s - and for your scalp to feel like it’s a bit sunburned. All par for the course and will stop when the hair goes. Best wishes.
