Chemotherapy Hair Loss And What To Expect

Chemotherapy hair loss normally starts around 10 days after you commence treatment. It could fall out very quickly in clumps or gradually. You'll likely notice bunches of hair on your pillow, hairbrush or in your shower drain. Chemotherapy hair loss will continue throughout your treatment & up to a month afterward. Whether your hair thins or you become bald will be contingent on your treatment. Generally, you can lose about 50 percent of your hair before it is noticeable to other people. It takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks to recover from chemotherapy hair loss. As a whole, you'll be able to expect about a quarter inch of growth monthly.
