How long do chemo curls last?
Hi all, if there was one good thing about going through chemo, for me it was getting chemo curls. I am very lucky in that my hair was very fine and straight before and hung limp with no body in it whatsoever. Now I have so much curl that my sons jokingly call me "Annie". It is so easy to manage. I was devastated in the past when I lost my hair to alopecia after my youngest son was born and so was worried it might not grow back at all again after chemo, but I am fortunate that it did. I know this is not the case for everyone. It took over 2 years for me to get my hair back after alopecia. The photo was taken today. Hair came back in April. Last docetaxal was 22 Feb 2016. I still haven't had it cut. You can see my eyebrows are still thin and I recently lost all my upper eyelashes again - don't know why. They just got weak and when I rubbed my eyes they fell out. I think they are growing again though. Wish chemo could have done something about my freckles!
Just wondering, for those of you who got the chemo curls, how long does it last? Did your hair straighten again?
