Hair thinning during breast cancer treatment is a common concern, and there are gentle approaches that may help, such as using mild shampoos, avoiding harsh styling, and considering scalp massage to promote circulation. Many find it helpful to discuss options with their healthcare team, as they can provide personalized guidance based on your specific treatment plan and overall health.
