Will the curls stay? Plus trouble growing eyebrows

me me me me :) & at the start i hated them, they were little tight fuzzy curls... but now 10 months later it has a little bit of length & a little bit of weight in them they aren't so fuzzy but actual curls instead I love them........... I hope they stay :) 

& my eyebrows never went altogether they thinned terribly though & at the start I was thinking hurry up & grow back as it seemed my head hair was growing a lot faster then it was almost overnight I have eyebrows again...

This phenomenon is often called chemo curls. I believe @Nadi, @Afraser, @"Michelle R", @primek, and @Ne all have experience with this  :)

thanks Cate. that sounds very encouraging. Cheers

its a horrid horrid journey BUT we are warroirs, we are tough, we can acheive anything!!!!!

I had the original bad perm when my hair grew back! As I had worn a wig, and a few people didn't know it was a wig, there were some funny conversations as to why I had moved from a smart, mainly straight (and dare I say rather flattering) style to a greyish frizzy mess! But hey, it was MY greyish frizzy mess!  Frequent cutting seems to be the answer. Trimming helped get some shape back, and each trim revealed better colour and less frizz. Curls were a glorious relief after pure lambswool frizz! My last single eyelash lasted fell out because there was a  minute row of new eyelashes appearing. Scared my husband with loud whooping noises from the bathroom. Eyebrows were a bit slower. I reckon my hair changed, albeit less dramatically, for a couple of years. Best of luck.

My hair came back really curly, but now 3 years on since end of chemo back to dead straight. It is very different much softer and very silver grey. I visit the hairdresser every month and fix the greys.
Eyebrows quite thin before worse after chemo I had them tattoed look great.
Good luck

I had my first hair cut (last week) since my hair grew back. My hair previously was long, dead straight with zero body in it. When it grew back I had tight little curls like Shirley Temple or Nicole Kidman during her BMX Bandits days. Now I am losing a bit of curl. There's less frizz but still plenty of body. I love it despite my sons telling me that I now have 'Nanna' hair when I am only 48!  So easy to manage.

PS I wish I was a nanna but sons have to get girlfriends first!

Here are the photo I tried to post on my personal response.

Hair  just after surgery

Hair post chemo ...5 months on

Hair product I swear by plus regular trims to get rid of frizz and give it style


I'm 52. And not a Nanna and thinking of uploading my sons profile into a dating app to help them along, lol. 

I don't want to colour my hair but we will have to wait and see.

I am with you about the curls but a year after chemo and the curls don't look like they are going anywhere lol... i straighten the front a little. As for eyebrows mine come back all patchy and still are so a couple of months ago I had them cosmetically tattooed and I love it!!! Rita xo

I had my eyebrows tattooed during chemo, thank goodness, and they remain sparse 5 months on.
