How do I know when to let it grow?
When diagnosed, I had lovely long hair. Two weeks after my first AC treatment, my scalp hurt so much I got a pixie cut to relieve the weight/sensitivity. A few days later, what was left fell out in la...
I started getting some fuzzy hairs about halfway through 12 rounds of Taxol. It took quite some time to grow in and I didn’t cut it until it was quite well developed and needed some shape, then trimmed regularly which helped reduce the wild frizz. About a year after it had grown back, I started losing more hair than normal (which had been almost nothing) when brushing my hair. It seems that not only can the colour and texture of your hair change after chemo, but so can your shedding pattern. My hair is now a little finer and I shed a little more (but well within normal amounts), otherwise stable and healthy, a little wavier than pre bc, but not the crazy frizz which I didn’t like much!
