Chemotherapy-induced hair changes, known as “chemo curls,” are a common yet understudied phenomenon. While chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells, including hair follicles, leading to hair loss (alopecia), it can also cause hair texture and color changes. The mechanisms behind chemo curls are poorly understood. Still, they are believed to result from how hair follicles recover from chemotherapy damage, potentially altering factors like follicle shape and protein distribution.
