It's definitely time to start thinking about spring. The chances of going to faraway countries are not high with the quarantine still going on, but this time of year gives us much to look ahead to. While we might be psychologically ready to move from winter to spring, our hair could require a little help.

 Whatever the hair type, balancing hair care and cancer treatment is a hustle. Summer does not make things easier, bringing along a whole new set of challenges for sensitive hair: sun, sand, and salt.

For cancer patients who lost their hair from chemotherapy, or it’s just starting to grow back, the most important thing during the summer is to protect the skin on the head from the sun. As Dr. Shyamali Singhal suggests, patients should do whatever is most comfortable for them in the heat of summer.

Cancer and cancer treatment, some sorts of chemotherapy in particular, can cause hair-loss in cancer patients. Hair can also become brittle, dry and damaged as a reaction to harsh chemicals.
