Should I buzz my hair after chemo starts making it fall out?

Many people find that proactively buzzing their hair can help them feel more in control during treatment, while others prefer to wait and see how their hair responds. The timing suggestion about getting a quality wig fitted early is really valuable - having that option ready before significant hair changes occur can provide peace of mind and help maintain confidence during treatment.

I like this recommendation. I start my chemo on December 3rd, but I’ll also be doing cold cap therapy to slow down or possibly prevent hair loss. Since my oncologist said that cold capping can be a crapshoot regarding hair loss (but she strongly recommended cold therapy on my hands and feet during chemo to reduce or prevent neuropathy and nail damage), I prepared in advance just in case cold capping doesn’t work well for me. I already had some wigs for photo shoots and videos that I could use, but I needed a really good wig since there’s a possibility that I would need it for “real life”. I already bought the “real life” wig for just in case, and once it arrives, I’ll get the wig stylist to style it for me.
