How long does hair take to fall out?
I'm on my second round of chemo and my hair has started falling out- but just bits and pieces. In the mean time it looks terrible and I can't style it because my scalp hurts. I cut it into a short pixie to make the falling out process less awful but now it's all flat and weird looking so I'm keeping it covered. There is hair all over the place but it's still not falling out full-scale. I don't feel like I'd be able to shave it either as my scalp feels too sensitive. What did you ladies do? (I'm attaching a picture of my recent pixie cut. I can't get it to look like that now because every time I try moving my hair it hurts and I get a handful of hair, now it looks all squashed and patchy. Also I don't look as chirpy as that at the moment, my neck has gone kind of fat too). )
Nobody told me I’d look like Teen Wolf
Hi guys, whilst I’m wildly happy to have finished chemo (AC/taxol) about 7 weeks ago and watching my hair take off, what I’m not so excited about is all the facial hair that I seem to be sprouting. I’m going Michael J Fox in Teen Wolf a good run for his money! Its possible that I’m so used to being bald as an egg that any hair now seems excessive, but my young son has even pointed out my new beard and moustache. can I ask if this is normal and how long it takes for this hair to hopefully disappear? I’ve got dark chin hair and then a fine coating of blonde hairs all over my face. And secondly, perhaps more importantly would it be ok for me to start getting my eyebrows waxed now or should I wait longer than 7 weeks post chemo? I’ve smashed out a mastectomy/recon in between to pass the time 😆 I am due to start radiation in the next 2 weeks. Thanks all!
Products to thicken hair
Hi friends, I am 40 and my hair is super thin and continues to thin out daily. I finished chemo in 2015 but on Zoladex & Exemestane - permanent state of menopause since then. Has anyone used Watermans, Nioxin or something similar to increase thickness? Can anyone recommend seeing a Trichologist? Any help appreciated
