Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Chemotherapy stops active multiplication of all the cells of our body so the actively growing cells like hair growth, oral mucosa and blood cells are most commonly affected. After the chemotherapy is over, These hair will regrow normally after 6months to 1 year.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
