A member asked:

Cancer and hair coloring: can i have my hair colored between chemotherapy sessions (i was told that i would probably not loose my hair during chemo)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, no problem: Hair care can continue as you normal do. Chemo will not come in the way, other than the fact, some chemo drugs will make you lose your hair over 1-2 months.
