Shedding does slow down after chemotherapy treatment has finished but not straight away. It can take many weeks for the chemotherapy drugs to work their way out of your system, and 8 to 12 weeks of higher than normal rates of shedding isn’t unusual. If heavy shedding persists for longer than this, it may be worth speaking to your doctor as other factors can affect hair retention, including low haemoglobin levels and anaemia.
