Chelee,

I had waist-long slightly wavy brunette hair prior to treatment that was easy to comb and easy to wave, with just a few stray gray hairs at age 50. After treatment I really liked the curliness and decided not to cut it and see what happened. The ends have stayed quite curly but the newer hair above it has come out straight. Still brunette, but with more gray here and there. When I lost my hair I figured it would be 5 years before it was the same length and that turned out to be right on target. It is not as thick or as strong as it used to be. Keeping the curls on the ends means the ends seem to constantly be tangling up and with the hair drier than it used to be it is harder to get a brush through it without breaking it and takes much longer. (Different ages and treatments might make a difference too.)

A.A.
