My hair is falling out due to chemo. What hairstyle would be best for now?

I am so sorry to hear your hair is falling out and that you are going through chemo. My heart goes out to you. I suggest you go with a short hairstyle so your hair does not look so thin.

One of my dear friends went through chemo almost a year ago. She went to a short sassy style and then at one point she shaved her hair and we embraced wigs and bandannas together. You can go to Google Images and Flicker and type in "short hairstyles" and up will come nothing but pics, which is great!

You can also ask your stylist what she recommends! Hair is physical so you can see the changes, but try to realize it is the least of your worries. Easier said than done I am sure.

What is most important is YOU and your health. Take care, I wish you the best.

Since your hair is falling out, you may choose to do what many women do. Radical as it may seem, shaving your head frees you from the clumps that fall out and the clumps you find on your pillow in the morning. Use the wig, or wear one of the attractive hats or head covers on the market today.

The barber took her to a chair in the back room, out of the public view, and shaved her head. Mom wore soft scarf-like things until her hair grew back. A co-worker choose to get several interesting wigs as she went through chemo.My favorite was a fuscia colored one in a 20s-era flapper look that was a wonderful look.

Long after her chemo is finished and her hair has grown back, she rotates that "look" through her facebook page periodically. Good luck with your treatments, and I hope you resolve the hair issue so that on the outside you'll feel comfortable about your looks, as you work on clearing the cancer out of your insides.

Invest in a really flattering wig. You'll be glad you did. Keep your hair short and soft with some face framing from the strongest longer strands.

If you color your hair, stop. Coloring weakens the hair folicle. I used to work with reconstructive surgeons for chemotherapy and keloid burn scars.

I created a prothesis false eyelash, custom cut to the individual. Women loved them. Find yourself a really good wig-fitter.

You might have to shop around...but worth it Your hair will grow back. Sometimes thicker than before the chemo...so keep the faith! Good luck and may God....or the force be with you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
