How can i deal with hair loss from chemotherapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair piece: In many instances hair pieces have been devised to be used temporarily when chemo induces hair loss. The latter can be minimized when an elastic band is placed on the forehead to minimize circulation that reaches the hair follicles. Ice has also been used.
