The minute my hair started to fall out, I had my head shaved with no problem. Later on my scalp hurt but they prescribed a lotion that took care of it. My hair came in white ( I was already half way there) and wavy. I loved it as I have always had straight hair. Now, however, it has gone straight again and is a mousy brown with some grey. GRRR! Never know what is happening next. Am on an estrogen blocker which is changing my skin fast - thin and lots of wrinkles. BUT I am alive and kicking so everything else is minor!

I had my head shaved when it started falling out. I had no problem. My hairdresser did it with clippers not a razor. My scalp was sensitive when it started falling out but shaving it made it feel better.

I think the chemo drugs make scalp sensitive not hair loss or shaving.

I never had mine shaved, my scalp was so tender while I was losing my hair. My hair has started growing back and the sensitivity is gone.

I had mine shaved, no issues. Has come back white and soft and really pretty. Always get compliments..
