Some just cause hair thinning and some don't cause hair loss at all. A patient's oncologist will tell them if hair loss is a likely or inevitable result of their particular treatment. Hair often begins its regrowth before chemotherapy ends. It's usually soft and fluffy like baby hair initially but it soon grows back. Many, but not all, chemotherapy regimes cause hair loss.

However, you will be referred to a 'miller' (wigs, hair pieces etc) and you can be fitted with a wig until your hair grows back (if you wish too). Your hair will grow back as soon as treatment ends.

But as soon as the chemo is finished the hair can grow back. Cancer cells divide very rapidly. Chemotherapy works by targeting and killing all cells which replicate in a very short amount of time. Unfortunately other cells in the body replicate very quickly are thus also destroyed by chemo. This explains all the sideaffects people get from chemo. Yes.

Not all cause hair loss. I was treated for breast cancer last summer and lost all my hair, eye lashes and eye brows. Everything grew back.

During the treatment phase, she lost all her hair. To cover up, she wears a hat and even bought a wig. But she neither needs the hat nor the wig now because she now owns a head full of hair. In fact the quality of the hair feels like a baby's hair - fine and soft. Hope that answer your question. A year ago, my cousin went for chemo to treat breast cancer.
