      It is the chemotherapy that makes your hair fall out. Chemotherapy is very destructive to our cells and kills them without distinguishing between which are bad and which are good and this includes cells in the hair roots and follicles.

      Chemo makes hair fall out! It is a cocktail of drugs made to make the cancer cells die, but so toxic it makes other harsh effects on our bodies too.
