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
Beachwalker19 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.
Thanks so much for posting your pictures ladies!! Let’s us see that our hair will grow back! I’m only 3 weeks post chemo so still waiting to see my hair grow back!
Eight weeks post chemo . Was shiny head bald now even lashes arrived back
Very siver with darker areas same as before
