Chemo Patient Says Eyebrow Gel Helped Her Keep Brows And Lashes During Treatment

Everybody wants to keep their hair during chemotherapy, but the reality is that it's simply not always possible. Some people lose it and some don't, and even if you use a cooling cap to freeze your scalp during chemo, your hair can still fall out. A lot depends on the person and how much chemotherapy you have to undergo.

The same is likely true of your eyebrows and eyelashes. Not everyone can manage to keep them.

Audrey, who runs the vlog cancerwithasmile, was not able to keep her hair during chemotherapy, but she tried Talika Lipocils eyebrow gel, which a friend recommended for her eyebrows and eyelashes. She used it at least twice a day for the entire time she was going through chemotherapy, and she's happy to have retained her eyelashes and most of her brows!
