Photos from July, August and October. Think I’m going to have to have a trip to the hairdressers for a tidy up. My hair was naturally so straight, I really didn’t think it would come back curly, it didn’t hold a curl if I tried before. I only cold capped 3 times but it wasn’t fitted properly the 2nd time so started to fall out, i was on the filgrastim injections which can cause hair loss and oncologist told me Docetaxel can cause total hair loss I decided it wasn’t worth spending an extra 2 to 2 and a half at the hospital so didn’t bother as I had a lovely wig. Hope photos help anyone losing their hair atm there is hope as I was completely bald 5/6 months ago. 

Love T x x

    Thanks for this information.Ive had no hair since October , chemo finished 20th December, Radiotherapy finished 19th February.Hair just starting to grow , should  I shave it as I’ve heard that this will help it grow quicker . 

  • that is fantastic! I cannot believe the difference in mine, very red to dark brown, poker straight to curly top! 

  • Mine is still straight where the cold cap worked,  and a darker colour.  Where it didn't,  it's wavy and lighter:) wavy is good though as it looks like there's more of it than there it's.  10 weeks post last chemo.
