How to deal with hair loss?

Hey everyone I just wanted to get some insight about the hair loss part of chemo. I’m 22yo and have opted for 1 cycle of BEP starting in the next 2 weeks. I know unfortunately losing your hair is a part of the healing process but that’s been a hard part for me to accept. I’m young and very active and to be honest my hair is a big part of my personality and character (I have nice blond curly hair). I know it’s not the end of the world, as I’d lose my hair any day if that meant I’m cancer free, but kind of hesitant about how I’m perceived out in public, work etc. Any tips that helped you guys during this part of the treatment would be appreciated. Any encouragement would also be helpful. Also has anyone tried any thing to speed up or help hair growth post treatment? Thanks.
