Thinning Hair
I finished chemo just over 5 months ago, and my hair is starting to grow back. It is coming back very curly, and very thin. I was wondering what everyone elses' hair looks like when it grows back. I ...
wow is it good to read these comments, I finished chemo 6 mths ago, and when I look in the mirror I see nanna curls, I now feel soooo old, hence why I jumped on here to see what the general consensus was , with your hair growing back and when would it go straight again.....Mine is thick as, have never had it cut since growing back as i wanted to see what happened, but now the length is just being taken up in the curls, so frustrating.....anyway by reading these messages another 6 mths and it will be different again....
As far as shampoos I was advised to purchase Nioxin which you get from Price Attack etc, it is a shampoo, conditioner and spray all in a kit.
The spray, you spray on your head to promote the blood flow to that area when it starts to grow back.I sprayed this morning and night till hair looked a bit normal on my head, I don't know whether it was mind over matter, or it did work but my hair is sooo thick and I am also now on Tamoxifen.
Glad to have this site to answer these little questions, thanks everyone...
