Hair Loss

- Well listen, I'll tell you something. I do not know if it's good to talk about it, but hey, like you are determined ... Know that there are a refrigerated helmet that some women put on their heads during the chemo, that would not lose all the hair . Know that it really does not work in 10 years in the service, I met only two patients who kept their hair by putting the headset. Also note that all women do not support, it gives migraine, it is very restrictive, and sometimes you can not stand it. "



I look at him, he tells me to wear the refrigerated helmet 20 minutes before the start of chemotherapy (Taxol or Taxotere), it must be changed regularly when it is colder. He found the right words to convince me, I reply that I agree that I will put the helmet and I'll be the third woman of service that will keep her hair.


From that time, the war to keep my hair has begun! I did everything, everything in my power to avoid losing them.



I first searched for studies on the web about using the headset, the user protocols and products to prevent hair loss, I met a specialist hair, and from all these elements, I put up a defense strategy.



Hair loss through chemo is due to the products used and their effect on the lack of oxygenation of the bulb that causes the fall of the hair. The loss is inevitable if we do not cool the scalp, we recommend you, to quickly cut your hair after the first chemo if you have not done before, and then choose a wig to go to a specialist to you advise a hair for your face and your current cut. To have it at home as soon as the first symptoms of loss come, that is to say, three weeks after the second session.



Everyone kept telling me to cut them, I did not



For my part, I have absolutely not follow this advice. I chose a beautiful wig I did set aside in the store, in case I lose my battle.



I refused to cut my long hair, while everyone kept on repeating myself, nurses, friends, relatives, doctors ...



"It is better that you prepare yourself for the cuts, the shock will be less hard!"



I always answered them the same thing:



"I will not cut my hair, I do everything to keep them!"
