Other solutions for your chemotherapy hair loss maybe:

• The Cold Cap System - This is a method used by some doctors on patients undergoing chemotherapy who want to have the best possible chance of retaining some of their hair. It works using a cold cap on the head to cool the scalp and prevent blood circulating to the hair follicles, this type of cap does vary between certain hospitals. The cold cap is put on the head at least 15 minutes before the chemotherapy treatment starts, to give it a chance of slowing the blood flow to the scalp. After the treatment has finished the cap is left on for between 1 and 2 hours after the chemotherapy. This does however mean that you spend longer in the treatment unit. The cold cap is exactly what it says, it is cold, and not everyone can stand it for that length of time and this is why it has been abandoned in some cases. It is not a necessity in preveting hair loss but it gives a greater chance of retaining some of the hair you have. While cold caps can be successful they are not as successful for all chemotherapy drugs, so it is important that you talk to your doctor about the drugs you are taking and whether or not the cold cap will be effective for you.

• Purchase a wig - Prior to your treatment shop around for a wig that matches your hair colour, often the hospital were you will have your treatment will point you in the right direction. Purchasing a wig prior to treatment will mean that you have one ready in case you do experience hair loss. Heres a tip try going out in public with it on before your hair loss starts so you can begin to feel more comfortable wearing it. Many wigs today are so good people will not be able to realise you have got one on. Have fun choosing the right hairpiece and experiment with the many different colours available.

• Cutting your hair short - Short hair can be a lot easier to maintain and can allow your wig to fit more comfortably. Some people often shave their heads before their treatment begins as it can be less traumatic when their hair starts to fall out.
