Chemotherapy hair loss - Eyebrows and Head

Chemotherapy is hard enough but having to endure the temporary loss of hair doesn’t have to be. Eyebrows can be temporarily tattooed on with henna and for the adventurous, why not get your full head adorned with henna designs.

Henna is a natural plant dye which is traditionally used to stain the hands of Asian brides with ornate designs, but this same medium is also able to stain the face and head while battling cancer or during any periods of hair loss.

Henna, a coolant, also helps to ease the burning pain (Peripheral Neuropathy)  associated with some of the chemotherapy drugs.

Nicole uses her own hand crafted henna paste, which includes henna powder, lemon juice, sugar and essential oils.  It is recommended to consult your doctor prior to having a henna session.

 

Eyebrow application session - (Includes home application henna)

  • Nicole will apply the first coat of henna. (Bring a photo of you with your pre-chemo eyebrows)
  • This application will stain the facial skin for 3-5 days.
  • You will be provided with a bottle of henna and an application tip for you to reapply the henna as it is fading, simply use the first stain as a template. Apply henna paste, leave on for an hour and flake off, avoid water on the area for one night. The stain will be at its best by day two.
  • The session lasts about 30 minutes and costs $40 (including home application henna)
