Hair loss during cancer treatment

If you have taken your hair for granted like most women do, it can be really hard to come to terms with the fact that you are losing some or all of your hair. Although female hair loss is a difficult thing to come to terms with, it may have been the direct result of something else that you are suffering with.

In most instances of people with cancer who receive treatment, a large majority lose some or all of their hair. This is because the chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment affects the hair follicles on your body and they become dormant. This means that they no long produce hair and you develop patches of baldness or thinning of the hair. Not every woman who receives this type of cancer treatment loses her hair but it is a common side effect.

In order to combat the fact that you are losing some of your hair, you might want to cover up your hair wearing a hat, a scarf or even a human hair wig. Nobody needs to know that you have lost some of your hair during your chemotherapy treatment if you don’t want them to know. A human hair wig will easily cover up any hair loss that you are suffering with.
