<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Chemo Hair Loss Takes Two Weeks
Most people who have chemotherapy lose their hair. According to the Mayo Clinic, chemotherapy hair loss begins between 10 to 14 days after you start treatment. For some, the hair loss from chemotherapy is dramatic and falls out in clumps, while other lose it gradually over time.
On the Other: Chemo Doesn't Always Cause Hair Loss
Although most people do experience hair loss from chemotherapy, in some instances people lose very little to no hair. The type of chemotherapy you have along with the strength of your dose largely determines whether you will lose your hair.
Bottom Line
The best way to get an idea as to when or if you will lose your hair from chemotherapy is to ask the doctor who is treating you. This will help you know better what you should expect and plan for in your individual situation.
