Can Hair Loss Caused By Chemotherapy Be Prevented?

Chemotherapy Hair Loss Treatment

Hair loss caused by chemotherapy is one side effect of cancer treatment that people dread the most. People dread hair loss from chemotherapy the most in cancer treatment. Hair loss during chemotherapy might reveal something a person prefers to keep private. But is there a way to prevent losing your hair while undergoing treatment?

It will not keep your hair from falling out but could promote faster regrowth after treatment. Neither method is scientifically proven to prevent hair loss permanently. Cancer-fighting drugs attack all body cells, including those on the scalp. Chemotherapy can cause hair loss on the body, including eyebrows, eyelashes, and pubic hair. Different drugs and dosages in chemotherapy may lessen hair loss risk, says the Mayo Clinic. Your treatment team will inform you about hair loss and side effects during cancer treatment.

Not everyone loses all of their hair during chemotherapy, but many people will at least experience hair thinning. You will notice your hair falling out two to four weeks after beginning treatment. Doctors believe your hair may regrow differently after cancer treatment, but it might be a different texture or shade than your original hair.

Possible prevention techniques

Doctors warn about hair loss in cancer treatment but offer ways to slow it. The first is a scalp cooling cap, which can help restrict blood flow to your head.
