Hair loss
can be a side effect of many surgeries. It is caused by various factors, particularly stress, and it is only temporary. The medical term for temporary hair loss is telogen effluvium, which may start with hair thinning and progress to excessive hair loss all over your head or in patches. Does this Spark an idea?
Time Frame
Hair loss usually occurs three to four months after major surgery and may take as long as six months to a year to recover.
Lifestyle
You can help increase hair growth by maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in physical activity, decreasing stress and getting the proper amount of sleep.
Hair Care
Use mild shampoos and conditioners, and refrain from using harsh products such as dyes, oils and hairspray on your hair.
Changes
Your hair texture and/or color may be different when your hair grows back.
Solutions
Cutting your hair short can minimize the look of the hair loss as your locks grow back. Wigs may be another option.
