Well.....after finally finishing nearly 6 months of chemo.... My hair has started to grow back....yay....but it's WHITE.... Does this change? I am 50 and was a bit grey.... But not this grey....anyone else experience this?

  • Hi

    This happened to me as well, I did have quite a bit of grey before chemo, but when it came back it was white and then it started coming through coloured. It was very funny-opposite to what I usually had instead of grey roots, I had coloured roots. It sorted itself out after a few months, but I did get it coloured at the hairdressers when it was long enough.

  • Hi there, Yes I would like to know about this too. I am still doing Taxol 6/12 down but my hair is starting to come back ( it's very very short!) It's all totally white . I am only 41 and prior to losing my hair didn't have a grey hair on my head!!! I was wondering of this was normal too ? Take care , Sophie x
