Should cancer patients shave their heads?

There is no correct answer, it’s up to you! If you feel comfortable shaving it ahead of time, maybe you want to get accustomed to the new look you can do that. Otherwise, you can let your hair fall out slowly. It’s entirely up to you and whichever you feel more comfortable with!

How can I buzz my hair during chemo?

Borrow a pair of clippers and use a #2 attachment to get a “buzz cut,” which will leave just enough length to prevent ingrown hair. Patches and uneven regrowth will not be as obvious when your hair is this short as well. If you don’t want to do this yourself, you can ask your stylist to shave your head.

Why do cancer patients shave their heads?

Some people report that their scalps feel itchy, sensitive and irritated during their treatments and while their hair is falling out. Shaving your head can reduce the irritation and save the embarrassment of shedding.

What type of people look good with buzz cuts?

Those with evenly proportioned diamond, square, or oval shaped faces will suit the look the best. If you don’t fall under that bracket, you may still be able to pull one off, but it’ll more than likely require some creative use of beard grooming to square off your jawline.
