Hiscram I had a good laugh at the “nutty professor” description.
Not vain at all, it’s a real milestone so congratulations to you. From previous posts about how hair comes back it seems everyone is different. But I have noticed a few saying their first regrowth seemed to be a bit random and eventually it settled into something else. Eg my hair grew back (this was about 18 months ago) in a fine fuzz all over but once it got a bit of length (maybe 2 cm) I developed quite a curl. I have always had straight hair.
Once it got to a point where it was a “pixie look with mullet” I went to the hairdresser and had a number 2. Now it’s straight again and although I have good coverage it doesn’t have the volume. I think that’s down to the oestrogen prevention hormone treatment (Aromatase Inhibitor) I am now on for a few years but that’s just a guess.
Hope you get some joy from seeing the return of your hair. My eyebrows, eyelashes and nose hair (who knew it was so handy) took a little longer.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Eyebrows and eyelashes are making a return but looking forward to nose hair returning, I too didn’t realise how precious those hairs were.
I have started on hormone blockers and about to start radiotherapy. Interesting that your hair texture changed after that first cut. I am now actually looking forward to the ever changing hairstyle.
