Waxing your head after third chemo

Rmgsar

I waxed my head after my third chemo because the black dots after shaving looked not so nice. Now I'm concerned at the end of my chemo (July 11 2013) that my hair may not grow back because what if chemo compromised /weakened the hair follicles and now waxing pulled them out and my hair will NEVER GROW BACK!!! Very concerned has anyone else waxed their head after onset of chemo and did your hair grow back?

I know women who used duct tape and other means to get the stubs out.   I write a BC blog and hear from many women.  No worries.  It will grow back!  My new post chemo hair is much nicer than my old hair.  It is so traumatic to lose the hair, but it will be okay!

Do no think waxing will have any effect on your hair growing back. Mine did take about 14 days to start falling out and at the end of 6 months chemo it took about another 3 months to grow out enough to stop wearing a scarf. I was short and spiky ( I was 58 at the time) It finally grew out longer but just as straight as vever and even mre grey.
