Glad to hear you say that, it is about vanity. I was afraid of losing my hair as well. I haven't loss any hair and to be honest my hair has grown longer. I do use organic hair products as well. I have talked with several people taking HU and they have not loss hair. My oncologist said that it doesn't cause hair loss. Another issue I have notice is skin discoloration I don't like that part of it either but, this could all be worse. If I start to lose hair , she would have to put me on another medicine. Just thankful that my platelets are down to the 200s and I feel good.
