Hello!
Doesn't get exposed, doesn't get stuffy, doesn't tighten! I'm Mayumi, the designer of the medical hat [BAREN].
Depending on the type of anticancer drug, hair loss may occur as a side effect.
In order to recover as quickly as possible, it's important to know how to care for your hair and scalp during hair removal without damaging the hair roots.
Things to avoid during hair removal
During chemotherapy, avoid using perms, coloring products, or hair growth products that can irritate the scalp and hair roots.
Also, avoid scalp massages that tend to promote blood circulation to the scalp, as promoting blood circulation may increase the effects of anticancer drugs.
keep your scalp clean
You may think it's better not to wash your hair because you're worried about hair falling out, but if your hair is unclean, it can clog your pores and cause dermatitis. It is important to keep your scalp clean.
It is said that the amount of sebum secreted from the scalp is almost the same as the forehead, which secretes a lot of sebum, and if not taken care of, it will become unhygienic. Please try to keep your scalp and hair as clean as possible.
How to choose hair care products during treatment
During chemotherapy, the scalp becomes sensitive due to irritation caused by dryness and hair loss.
It is best to use mild amino acid-based or soap-based shampoos and conditioners. Also, shampoos that come out with foam are also recommended, as shampoos tend to be difficult to foam during hair removal. Apply only a small amount of rinse or treatment to the ends of your hair.
Regardless of which hair care products you use, if you experience any abnormalities on your scalp such as itching, dandruff, or inflammation, please seek medical attention immediately.
Wash your hair gently
Wash your hair as follows.
- Gently rinse your hair and scalp with lukewarm water
- Using a foaming net or the palm of your hand, lather the shampoo as finely as possible.
- Apply the lathered shampoo to your hair and wash it by gently massaging it with your fingertips, being careful not to dig your nails or rub too hard.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove any bubbles.
- Gently wipe off moisture with a soft towel (it is also convenient to use kitchen paper instead of a towel)
- Using a hair dryer too much can damage your scalp and hair, so use it at low temperatures, with weak or cold air, so as not to put stress on it.
- Brush gently and slowly to avoid irritating the scalp.
Hair loss is a side effect that has a strong psychological impact, but it will definitely recover once the anticancer drugs are finished.
Until then, please take proper care and look for a care hat that suits you.
