Working with Your Care Team: How to Keep Your Hair Nice Daily

Your nurses and carers are there to help you, but they are often very busy. The good news is that with a little communication, you can work together to keep your hair looking lovely between salon visits.

• Speak Up: If your scalp is itchy or sore, tell them immediately!
