Affects of Chemotherapy on your Hair

Chemotherapy usually results in hair loss, also knows as alopecia. The reason for this is because hair follicles grow fast and chemotherapy damages fast growing cells. After your treatment is over your hair will grow back, but different people have different reactions to the therapy. Some people get lucky and don't lose their hair at all but even though they don't lose their hair completely, it still causes the hair to become very thin.
