My hair is growing back!  Merry Christmas to the ladies who know me! xxx Love Bel

  • My hair is growing back in the tightest curls I've ever seen since the good old perm back in the 80's!  I have bought curl cremes, anti frizz, serum and leave in conditioner.  My hair is only about 4 cm's long but I really struggle with the curls.  They just sit there, tight as anything.  I am  going to attempt growing them out in a longer style and really hope they relax a little at some stage, cause this is friggin rediculous to manage.  Very greatful for my hair, don't get me wrong but just not used to styling curls.  x

  • Well it was not straight at first.  I did have 6 rounds of Chemo, and the Ruby Red for 3.  (paintstripper).  But I had really straight hair to start with.  My hair is a tad wavier than it ever was.  I was a hairdresser for 20 years, this do, took lots of doing !  I used mouse and leave in treatment, and a gloss/straigtening product.  Round brush blow dry.  Velcro Rollers, back combing and hairspray.  It was the first time I had gone to that bother since my hair had grown back.  I wear it up all the time for work.  What I did not say was 5 minutes after I finished and took this photo, I ran outside to rescue my washing off the line, and it was saturated.  I felt it was a reminder "Don't be so vain, it got you no-where!"  hahahahahahahah !  No one ever saw it.  With instant menopause though the condition is not happy.  I have less hair around the front than before, and it is dry as hell.  Needs lots of love and treatments, which I can't afford now.  It is true what they say, quality products equal quality hair! xx

  • Hi Bel.  If you dont mind me asking, when your hair grew back, did it come back straight?  If not, how long did you have curls for?

    Merry Christmas to you xxx
