I had my hair cut short last week in preparation for the big fallout. Since then I've had a painful scalp. No product was used but that's how it feels. Is this the start of me loosing my hair?
can’t say for definite cos we all different but yes this happened to me and a few others that I know of just before hair shedding .
I can remember the pain when wind ruffled short hair . For me the answer was to get hairdresser to do a no.2 shave ( less risk of cuts to scalp ) the relief was wonderful . wishing you well with rest of treatment.
Thanks for your reply. I only had it cut short last Thursday and thought she must have cut me but the feeling has spread and feels exactly as you describe.
Think I might have to go even shorter now.
Yes baby steps and deep breathing haha. Thanks for your support
Carolyn321 I had EC x 6 and was told by onco def hair will go possibly after first session . So had pixie cut and then only washed when necessary and finger dried I managed to keep it til third session before shave . A bamboo sleep beanie will make you more comfortable in bed and stop hair loss thru rubbing on pillow .
History of hair was shaved in Dec 2019 went into isolation Feb/ March 2020 with a fuzzy growth came out in July 2020 needing a haircut lol It has come back strong and healthy . I’ve got lazy so keeping it short ….it needs cutting every 4 weeks . best wishes with rest of treatment
Thanks again Margaret especially for the sleep beanie advice. Just put 1 on! I've got to have 3 x EC the 12 x something I can't remember at the mo. Hate the brain fog haha.
