Can hair loss be prevented during chemotherapy treatment? There is no known way to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss. However, not all chemotherapy medications cause human hair loss. You should consult with your doctor about the type of treatment recommended for you and what its side effects are likely to be.
Whether or not you lose your hair depends in part on the specific medication and dosage administered. Women should consider visiting a wig salon before they begin losing their hair so that the specialist may become familiar with her present hairstyle and color.
Some wig salons specialize in hair loss from chemotherapy and are able to offer women specific advice. A wig specialist may also wish to measure the woman's head size to make sure an average wig will fit. Custom-made wigs sometimes take several weeks to have made.
There is always a special offer for the wigs for sale.
Chemotherapy drugs are powerful medications that attack rapidly growing cancer cells.

Chemotherapy hair loss, and changes in skin and body can be devastating after effects of cancer treatment.
