Hair growth after chemo
Hi Everyone, I had my last chemo on 21st July. Just wondering from those who know, what to expect with hair growing back. I'm normally dark brown, but currently have light coloured extremely short Ve...
Mine came back very sparse (it was really thick before), chalk white and like lambswool. The curls (very common!) were really frizzy and lasted almost 9 months. But it thickened and darkened over quite a long period - every hair cut (at first just to tidy things up) revealed new colour and a shifting texture. Was quite exciting. After almost 2 years, I was back to my original texture, almost normally straight and much less grey than it had been before chemo! A year further on though, I am getting some hair thinning. This may be just ageing (damn!!) but may be a combination of the effects of hormonal treatment over time and ageing as well. Not too dramatic, but keeping an eye on it and doing everything I can to counter it. Any one with a similar experience?
