Chemo Curls my new hair

Looking good Ne,

I can't wait any hair would do! It will be wonderful not to see a cancer patient in the mirror. I am 8 week post chemo and have white straight fine baby hair. This hair comparing is interesting, our bodies are amazing how they can bonce back.

happy thoughts to all

You need to keep us posted, would be so interesting to see what happens.  In the first week or so it really feels like nothing much is happening, but then it starts shooting out!  You'll see xx

Thanks Christine x

Thank you Holly x

Keeping fingers and toes cross for you Nadine xxx

Sorry Maryrose, I just picked one of the few brands that were available from the health shop and now cant remember the name, but the box was dark green. 

Hi Nadine,

just to let you know, I had extremely fine hair with bald patches from alopecia. It had been like that since I was 19. I am now 50 and it has come back thicker than before, darker and curly. So hopefully yours will be the same. Karen xox

I looked like a baby chimpanzee for quite a while. It was soft, straight and stood on end until the curls kicked in. I hated it. I preferred bald to that look. That in between stage is definitely horrible. 

Love the photos Ne, before chemo I had long(51cms long)  curly hair, the longer my hair got the looser the curls got, the weight of it pulled the curls looser, I wonder if that will be the same for you?

ive currently got a 'bum fluff' head ?? starting, I'm 5 weeks post last chemo and keen to see proper hair again, mine was dark brown but it's coming back very light, I'm saying it's blonde but it's looking grey lol, and I'm wondering if instead of Chemo curls will I get straight hair! 

Ne you look gorgeous!

I know it's new and different and probably harder to manage, but you still have that lovely smile and positive outlook so you can't go wrong!

Go you!! xx
