Hi everyone. Last chemo was 4th Aug. I lost a lot of my hair despite cold capping. Nevertheless it is what it is and it’s a small price to pay to still be alive.
My hair has grown all over now, no bald patches however the length is very short and so slow growing I feel. The length is only about 1 cm which is disheartening 3 months on. I figured if I can just get some length on it I can have extensions or mesh integration.
Does anyone have any tips on speeding up growth or is this normal? Sorry for the tmi but I need to tell you that down below is getting a lot of length on so why is my head hair not the same. I thought cold capping sped up hair growth. I use a thickening hair mask and a caffeine hair serum (which says 4 drops which I’ve turned into chucking loads on!!).
