Hair Growing Back
Hi All,
I am on my last paclitaxel chemo next week and staring to look beyond the chemo bad ass.
I am just completing 8 courses of dose dense chemo - 4 xAC, 4x Paclitaxel and am wondering how long it took for others to grow their hair back. I know this is assuming it has grown back sufficiently, as some women are unlucky with hair regrowth.
Just hoping you can share you experiences of when your hair grew back enough to actually feel like you had enough to do something with and any changes in your hair regrowth from before chemo.
Many thanks,
Jo

- The current state of play after a hair cut on the weekend so I’d look half respectable going back to work today. In the fun position of having hair still falling out while the new hair is starting to grow in! Oh and I have salt and pepper grey at the back with full grey on top mixed with my last dye job in June. Going to be a great look for a few months yet
- @JJ70 stunning!
- @JJ70 you rock girl!! Beautiful
- And she goes...na na na na na, nananana naa naa...she's got the look. :D ;)
- Hey @"Kiwi Angel"..I went for the wax it rip it off approach. Hasn't grown back.... :# B) <3
- My sideburns are grossing me out - I know some have said they eventually go away but it’s not happening fast enough for me. I was thinking about using some cream to get rid of them but I’m worried that they might grow back worse - what are others experiences??
- So far I have evaded chin hairs.....I'm always Sherlock Holmes in the bathroom mirror each morning.
- Why can't my chin hairs grow in my napalmed eyebrows?! Go north you pesky buggers!
- It's the ones on the chin that are driving me crazy - it's like they've been fertilised!
- Legs out yesterday in the sunshine at my daughter's swimming lessons. Embarrassed to find much deforestation needed. So out of touch with hair removal now. I keep forgetting it is growing! :o
