Pre chemo I had long reddish brown curly hair (that I had never liked UNTIL right before I was diagnosed go figure!). My hair came back absolutly straight and blond. The blond didnt last long and it then turned very dark with a few specks of grey. It is now just beginning to show a bit of a wave and is again turning color.....brown. I finished chemo May 2006. I have kept my hair short (easy to care for) and would like for it to stay straight but it will be what it is huh?
