No. There are many kinds of chemotherapy and some drugs such as 5-FU (for example) don’t normally cause hair loss. But even chemotherapy drugs that are known to cause hair loss don’t always produce hair loss.
I was treated with 8 cycles of ABVD chemotherapy (Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine, and Dacarbazine) for Hodgkin’s Disease. My oncologist said I would lose my hair, mostly due to the Adriamycin. I didn’t. My hair thinned somewhat, but I didn’t lose anywhere close to all of it. Anyone who didn’t know wouldn’t know from looking at my hair that I had chemo. I know other Hodgkin’s Disease patients treated with ABVD for half as many cycles who lost ALL of their hair. It is just luck of the draw.
There are chemo regimens that do cause total hair loss in just about everyone. Cytoxan for example. Then there are those like ABVD that usually cause hair loss, but some people get spared. Then there are regimens where hair loss is rare.
By the way according to the chemo nurses, hair loss does not equate to chemo working. There is no correlation between chemotherapy side effects and effectiveness.
Here is a list of common chemo drugs: http://www.chemocare.com/BIO/index.asp
You can look under side effects to see if hair loss is common.

Unfortunately, scientists have yet to be able to locate specific features of malignant and immune cells that would make them uniquely targetable (barring some recent examples, such as the Philadelphia chromosome as targeted by imatinib). This means that other fast dividing cells such as those responsible for hair growth and for replacement of the intestinal epithelium (lining) are also affected.
In simpler terms, chemotherapy can’t target the cancer cells themselves, only any cell in the body that grows quickly like hair, so it dies and falls out…

Not sure what you mean. Chemotherapy targets fast growing cells within the body . . which includes hair follicles . no matter where the hair is located. So, if the type of chemothearpy causes hair loss . . than it will affect all hair on the body including pubic hair.

“It is common for hair loss to include hair that grows anywhere including eyelashes, eyebrows, and even pubic hair.”

I’m going through the whole chemo process, actually i’ve lost my hair and now it’s growing back. What chemo does is that it kills all fast-growing cells, as cancer cells, unfortunately hair cells also grow at high speed if you comparate them with other cells in human body and that’s why they get affected by chemotherapy.
It’s hard, even more if you’re a woman, hair is such an important thing for us, but the good news is that hair grows once you’ve finished chemotherapy, and if you don’t feel good going out with a shiny head, you can find great wigs, i did!!
