Hi Julia00
I found my hair started falling a few weeks in. I then went and got it cut really short but then found myself itchy and irritated by the shorter hairs falling out so I borrowed an electric razor from a male friend and shaved it right down. It was such a relief. You might have a different experience but for me no hair was better short hair when it's falling out anyway. All the best to you xx
Hi Julia00,
I came on to the forum today to ask the exact same question you did, so thank you :). I have had 4 doses of Chemo and my hair started falling out all over the place last week. I wanted to know when the right time was to shave it off and thanks to all of the lovely responses here I have come to the conclusion that I will take control of something in this Cancer journey!
