Photos, my hair calendar - Month by month, 10 months post chemo
I remember visiting this site during the whole hair loss stage looking for photo stories about hair and often wondered how long my hair would take to grow back. I have created a collage with photos starting from when last chemo finished until today (exactly 10 months on) showing how my hair has grown month by month.
I just have to add, I was blessed with the chemo curl phenomenon so don' be disheartened if it doesn't look as long as it should after 10 months because the curls are really tight and my hair are basically double the length when wet. So with the curls they look fairly short but I have heaps of it! I would say roughly 10 cm's when pulled out straight and I have had one style cut (mostly just the back of my neck as it was getting to hot and thick). I have trimmed off only the ends of the top bit.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Huggles, Ne

Ne , you look beautiful in every one of those photos , well done you ! Your curls are gorgeous ??
Hi Ne. I'm almost 8 months out from finishing chemo. I'd given up on chemo curls, but over the last 6 weeks or so have developed some. Nowhere near as tightly curled as yours. I see it as a bonus. I have hair and if it's curly, i'm going to make the most of it.
You look beautiful in all your photos, with a lovely sparkle in your eyes.
Take care, Lyn
Thanks so much x
Aaaauw thanks sweets. I hope you don't need chemo but if you do then hang in there and kick butt x
Lol..I've wondered about bald people and whether they suddenly grow hair after chemo..
Thank you. No, my hair grew back black and i used to have mousy brown ish before.
Yep! Been slapped with the chemo curl fairy's stick just about...lol
I dont mind the curls but are quite inpatient in waiting for it to get some length.
Love your curls. I had curly hair so wonder if mine will grow back straight.
Love your curls. Don't know if I have to go the chemo route yet but if I do I hope mine does that. You look lovely. xx
