Hair loss
Hi there
So my hair has begun to come out with the chemo. Its quite knotty when i get up of a morning. Should i sleep with something on my head at night? Not sure what to do.

- VangirlMemberI don't think I could bear to clip it again. Watch and wait for now, methinks!
- SisterMemberI ended up clipping the white fuzz off to a No 1. I felt much better about it after that.
- Kiwi_AngelMember@Vangirl I used the cold cap. Finished chemo and the end of May and it had thinned considerably up until the end of June but I still had a sad little ponytail to hang out the back of my cap for work. At the end of July I ended up shaving off the long bits but I have quite a head of hair compared to someone who did the same chemo as me at the same time. The cold cap definitely worked - the nurses did tell me that it would grow quicker.
- VangirlMemberThanks @kmakm I am using shampoo and conditioner again instead of face cloth so that's a start!
@"Kiwi Angel" how long has yours been growing? - Kiwi_AngelMemberI’m looking forward to my first cut and colour at the end of this month :)
- kmakmMemberCouple more weeks @Vangirl and it will start to grow like crazy. K xox
