Tamoxifen hair loose

Hi Csp

I’m on lextrazole rather than tamoxifen. My hair is very fine anyway, and now I have (what I think is) very noticeable hair thinning. I used to have quite long hair, but I felt that just made the thinning even more obvious, so after discussion with my hairdresser I took the plunge and tried a very short hairstyle for the first time ever. 

I really like the result, a short style suits me a lot more than I thought it would, and the hair problems don’t seem anywhere near as obvious. If I’d hated it I was planning on buying a wig until it grew back, 

It might not be the right solution for you, but it worked for me. One more thought, You’ve been through a lot since your diagnosis (it goes with the territory) and you say you’re feeling low, a chat with a counsellor or your GP might also help

Good luck

Hi Csp85, sorry to hear you are having issues with your hair. Would it be easier to have your hair cut  so both sides match? Maybe a kind of pixie cut? It’s difficult not knowing how short the shorter side is.
I too am on tamoxifen and targeted treatment. My hair is only about a centimetre and a half as I lost most of it on chemo. It is very higgly piggly and is different lengths all round. I do get low days as I just want it to grow and be back to where it was (almost down to my boobs) so it was quite long before too. I think it’s going to take a long time to grow that far. I have wigs, scarves and beanie hat, whilst they help to hide my head and the bit of hair I have,  nothing is the same as having your own hair. I also look ridiculous with short hair which is why I keep it covered. To help I have been using a hair serum from uk lash. I also used their eyelash and eyebrow serums too which have help so much with them growing back to (link below for you) and I have also be drinking kefir which I think helps too. I’ve been told biotin is good for hair growth but I haven’t tried that yet.

wishing you all the best and hope your hair evens out soon
