HOW CHEMOTHERAPY AFFECTS HAIR

The side effects of chemotherapy range from thinning to total baldness and depend mostly on the type and dosage of chemo you or a loved one receives. The good news is that hair loss is temporary for most people, but it's one of the side effects that women fear most.

Hair loss occurs because chemotherapy targets all rapidly dividing cells—healthy cells as well as cancer cells. Hair follicles, the structures in the skin filled with tiny blood vessels that make hair, are some of the fastest-growing cells in the body. For a healthy person, our cells divide every 23 to 72 hours. But as the chemo does its work against cancer cells, it also destroys hair cells.

Within a few weeks of starting chemo, some or all of the hair may be lost. Hair loss is one of the most emotionally devastating side effects of chemotherapy. For women in particular, so much of your individual identity and personality is reflected in your hair. Hair being a physical representation of your confidence and sense of self. Losing it can be unexpected and truly upsetting.

RECOVERING HAIR ESSENTIAL RULES

While hair begins to regrow, they need to use a gentle & mild shampoo or conditioner that is free of harsh sulfates, such as our INSPIRE Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner.
For the first six months’ post chemotherapy, your client will want to hold off on chemical processes like perms or haircolor because their hair is still fragile and their scalp will be very sensitive.
Using a hairdryer or thermal styling tools such as straightening irons may also cause damage and need to be avoided.
