  According to Dr. Nguyen Tien Sy, changes in hair after chemotherapy can affect the patient's confidence and quality of life. However, this is only a temporary side effect. There is currently no way to completely prevent this condition.
  People can control and improve it by using mild shampoos and conditioners, protecting hair from the sun, limiting heat styling, avoiding brushing hair when wet, and using a wide-toothed comb.
  Patients should eat a nutritious diet, supplement protein, vitamins and minerals, and drink plenty of water. Practicing yoga, meditation or relaxing activities to reduce stress contributes to reducing hair loss during chemotherapy. If there are any abnormalities during chemotherapy, patients should consult a doctor for advice on appropriate treatment.
