steel wool
It's 5 months since chemo and abit more hair is coming through.My head now resembles a big steel wool brillo pad.Didn't have any grey hair b.c.- now I'm covered in it.It's way too short and thin to g...
In the second 3 months of chemo I had Taxol (Paclitaxel) weekly for 11 treatments but didn't have the last one because of the numbness and tingling.
I have a short hair wig but wasn't happy with it so I went back to the wig shop and they gave it a little trim for me. Remember if you cut it it doesn't grow again!! It is so cold here in SA today that I have a soft cap on to keep warm.
About dying my hair it was a bit of trial and error but in the end I used 'Clairol nice'n easy root touch up' and am happy with the colour plus it is fine for my scalp. I used 'Light Brown' and it was the colour I wanted. I first used Schwarzkopf Live Colour but found the colours totally different to the packet! It is quite funny, I must have got used to the grey fuzz because it took me a few days to get used to the brown colour (similar to what I had dyed my hair pre-chemo).
Good luck ,
