Gentle Scalp & Hair Care Tips for Cancer Patients

Gentle Cleansing Matters: Use mild, sulfate-free shampoos to protect fragile scalp skin.

Moisturize the Scalp: Chemo & radiation can cause dryness and flaking—hydration is key.

Avoid Heat Styling: Hair dryers, straighteners, or curling rods can worsen breakage.

Headgear Protection: Scarves, soft caps, or wigs help protect from sun & pollution.

Nourishment Counts: A balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins & minerals supports recovery.
