Hair - what did you do?
Hi all - I am almost a year post chemo and am wondering what to do with my hair. It has come back dark and curly (and a bit mullet like). I am thinking of trying to grow it into a bob and then shoulde...

Hi @Beginner
I finished my chemo in May 2024 too. My hair has come back curly too... it was wavy before but I had a bob and used to blow dry it straight. No chance of that now! Slightest bit of humidity and I curl back up again! The best I can do at the moment is a bit of a princess Diana circa 1986! I am a dusty blonde colour now, I was some sort of blonde before it fell out but not really sure exactly what colour as I used to colour it a lot (mainly light blonde foils or streaks). I have had a couple of tidy up haircuts to stop me looking like a koala because it was sticking out the sides! I'm keeping it short for now as I forgot how convenient that is! Look good feel better have an online course about hair loss and regrowth and colouring which I did and may be useful for you. www.lgfb.org.au. I have also found my scalp along with the rest of my skin is super sensitive since chemo and now use qv shampoo (I had sensitive skin before chemo).
Good luck with whatever you decide to do with your hair! 😃
