- Cate64Member@melclarity I love your hair, I had mine straightened at the hairdressers a few weeks before Xmas testing to see if I could get a trendy look for a Xmas do I was going to & I though I looked like Mrs Brady!!! so left it curly t=for the function.
My hair is as long as yours I would say but I cannot get the same nice straight look, I must try again :) - NeMemberIt has been 2 years now since my diagnosis and I still have my curls. Here is my initial first 10 months post chemo treamtent hair calendar with photos.
My hair is longer now but still pretty curly.

- melclarityMemberAha!!! LOL ohhh yes very NORMAL, the beauty is as it grows the curls drop and the fuzz slowly gets trimmed away at every hair cut. Im 13 months post Chemo and I straighten my curls but only until it gets a little longer as it looks funny but the top has now grown straight. So it changes this is my hair journey...LOL
- LITHGOW1950MemberSome interesting posts here. I finished chemo April 2016. I always worn a bob style hairdo. Dark brown ( coloured) and my hair was very thick. So it, like many others ladies, came back white and very curly. I enjoyed the curl but couldn't get use to the look of myself when I looked in the mirror! Its now after only one hair cut starting to straighten out, it's very soft and although I seem to have plenty of hair it's not as thick as before. I know I'm due for a hair cut but it so goood having hair again I can't make myself go to the hairdressers. My eyebrows were always think. As I have a few grey hairs there now I have started getting them dyed and I like that look.
thank for your post.
Anne-Marie - CarmelSMemberMine came back very curly (also was dead straight) & eventually it straightened out, it had been grey but coloured for long long time so I knew it would grow back grey. But my hairdresser of twenty years &I I agree that it's almost like it went back to the baby stages....... it used to be extremely thick hair shafts & lots of it. Now it is much finer & only half as much. Although it does change even five years on, almost like a child's hair changes as they get older????
Eyebrows used to be very thick & now they are much less so.....& not nearly as dark as they used to be. I don't think the Femara helps any of this !!
Carmel - mum2jjMemberI got to do chemo twice (lucky me) due to a recurrence. My hair looked like a very bad old lady perm after both lots of chemo. However it has now gone back to the dead straight hair I always had. Very grey, but suspect it was under all the colour I had in it before BC. The one upside of the curls for me was that once I coloured it the grey's didn't show through nearly as quickly as they do now my hair is dead straight again.
Hugs
Paula x - primekMemberI had my eyebrows tattooed during chemo, thank goodness, and they remain sparse 5 months on.
