Hi all, wondering if anyone has some good tips on best fake eyelashes. My mum is beginning to lose her hair, she is very upset about this naturally.
She would like to try fake eye lashes but currently won’t let anyone near her due to covid and infection risk. What do other people do? We’ve looked at magnetic ones but she was worried this may effect her treatment due to metal? Any suggestions would be very welcome :0)
Hello Lara77. There's loads of suggestions about false eyelashes on the cancerhaircare site (link below) so hopefully this will be useful for your mum. It says that magnetic eyelashes have had mixed reviews and I think that your mum is right to think about whether these would impact on her treatment as there are usually quite a lot of scans involved. Probably best to check with her nurse first if she is thinking of having the magnetic ones:
Hi I don't know anything about fake eyelashes but I'd suggest that you post your question in the chemotherapy thread CLICK HERE as you might have more luck finding someone who can answer this question for you. Also by replying to you it bumps your post back up to the top of the list where someone who can help might see it this time.
Hope all goes well for your mother.
