How To Handle Hair Loss From Chemotherapy?

Introduction

Chemotherapy-induced hair loss can be a physically and emotionally draining experience. It’s not just about your appearance; it can also have an impact on your self-esteem and sense of identity.

That is why we are here to offer our help, and support you through this aspect of your cancer treatment. With our guide on handling hair loss during this trying time, we hope you will feel more at ease and confident in your own skin.

But before we get into the various solutions to dealing with hair loss, let us first understand why it happens.

Why Does Chemotherapy Cause Hair Loss?

During chemotherapy, strong drugs are used to kill rapidly dividing cancer cells. However, these drugs can also harm healthy cells in the body that divide quickly, like hair follicle cells. This damage to hair follicle cells can lead to hair loss, which occurs on the scalp, face, and other areas of our body.

The extent of hair loss experienced during chemotherapy can vary depending on factors like the type of drugs used, the dosage, and the length of treatment.

Although hair loss is typically temporary, it can be a challenging and emotional side effect of chemotherapy. It’s important to remember that you’re not alone in this experience, and there are ways to cope with it.

How To Handle Hair Loss From Chemotherapy?

Experiencing hair loss adds an extra layer of challenge, and it’s important to find ways to feel comfortable and confident during this trying time.

While many women and men turn to wigs as a solution, it’s important to know that not all wigs are created equal. Regular wigs can often cause discomfort and itchiness, especially for those with sensitive scalps.

But there’s good news! Paula Young’s Heart of Gold collection offers wigs specifically designed for women experiencing chemotherapy-induced hair loss, taking into consideration your sensitivity and comfort needs.
