Hi
Could I just ask please about chemo Curl!!
My hair started to grow back in July when I changed from one type of chemo to another, it's grown back grey (which was no surprise as I've been going grey since I was 21 (I'm now 48) but it used to be straight and now it's curly!!! If it had been any other colour but grey I'd probably have loved it, however I'm not keen on the curly grey look and it's also quite thick.
I've had it trimmed a few times but it doesn't seem to growing any less curly, can I ask if your hair came back curly how long did it grow curly for please?
Lol nutty professor. Hair has been growing back six months now. Not great photo but gives you idea
Thank you, would you say it's getting less curly as it grows?
I think so and am hoping so. I reckon it will take a few more months to calm down. Will see what it's like after a proper haircut
