Chemotherapy treatment can significantly impact hair health, causing changes that extend beyond the commonly known hair loss. Understanding these effects and implementing proper care strategies can help patients navigate this challenging period and support healthy regrowth.
How Chemotherapy Affects Hair
Hair Loss Patterns
Chemotherapy typically causes diffuse hair loss that begins 2-3 weeks after treatment starts.
Changes in Hair Structure
When hair regrows, it may have different characteristics:
- Texture changes (curly to straight or vice versa)
- Color variations (darker, lighter, or gray)
- Thickness differences
- Growth rate changes
