Wig wearers! When did you start going without?
Hi Ladies,
I'm 2 and a half months out of chemo and have quite a dark covering of hair on my head now.

It's so hot up here at the moment and I'm looking forward to the day I can give away my wigs!
But I'm just not sure when I'll feel right, I tried Saturday night infront of close freinds but after an hour I put the dreaded wig back on :(
Just wondering how much hair you all had when you decided to "brave it"?
Cheers
Sam

Sure did grow fast. Mine was the same colour. Probably had been for years, but I had been colour ing it. I put a colour in as soon as I could. Didn't want to be grey yet. Also would have had to explain at work when I took the wig off how I suddenly went grey. It was bad enough hearing the...did you have a fight with a lawnmower comments. It was all good natured and the people who made them had no idea I had been wearing a wig...it was that good. They would have been mortified if I told them. I just smiled and carried on working, happy with my little bit of hair. It was curly as when it grew back, but is now a dead straight bob again after two years. Cheers to all your lovely hair. Paula :)

Your hair looks like mine did, it sort of grew up like pinks. I felt like I had a mohawk going there for a bit then it just started to curl. Now the curl has died down to a wave with loads of body.

This was about 4 weeks out of chemo. It's growing VERY fast.
It started growing back while I was still on chemo....Paclitaxel ;)

In this heat, I would love to "lose" my hair for a day or two. I really enjoyed having really short hair as I always had long hair. These days I keep it short but evn in this 40 degree heat it is still too long. Enjoy the moment XLeonie
