My 10 y/o daughter is going through radiation and chemo. We are extremely concerned about her hair growing back specifically after radiation. Some children’s hair does not grow back as well on the sides and back, due to where they do a higher dosage boost for where her brain tumor was. Some kids hair grows back, some don’t. She has thin (but healthy) hair to begin with and I can’t stop thinking about this.
We are looking at the irestore elite. I also would consider a handheld option to target the specific spots for her hair loss. Here is my question about the irestore:
Will it sufficiently hit the sides and backs?
Is it okay to use for a child size head? Her circumference is about 20”. (Around the hair line)
Anything else you recommend? We will also use rosemary oil when we are able to put things on her scalp.
Radiation damages hair folicles. I don’t know if they can be “saved”. But maybe if they are struggling, therapy can rescue them? This is such a hard thing to go through, among all the other things, for a happy 10 year old whose life has been turned upside down.
