Will hair that's growing back during chemotherapy fall out again?

It's possible that hair regrowth during chemotherapy could fall out again, especially if you're continuing with the same or similar chemotherapy drugs. Hair loss happens because chemotherapy affects fast-growing cells, including hair follicles.

Since you're still receiving treatment, your hair follicles continue to be exposed to the chemotherapy drugs. Some people experience ongoing hair loss throughout their treatment cycles, while others may see some regrowth between treatments.

The pattern of hair loss can vary depending on:
* Which chemotherapy drugs you're receiving
* The dose of medication
* How long your treatment continues
* Your individual response to the drugs

Once your chemotherapy treatment is completely finished, most people find that their hair grows back more consistently. The good news is that hair loss from chemotherapy is typically temporary, and regrowth usually begins within a few weeks to months after treatment ends.

Talk with your cancer care team about what to expect with your specific treatment plan. They can give you a better idea of whether additional hair loss is likely based on the drugs you're receiving and how many treatments you have remaining.
