Before treatment I had fine hair but lots & lots of it - All dead straight and down to the middle of my back. It's grown back quite quickly and though curly - only at the back - it looks exactly the same. It's currently shoulder length and my hairdresser has commented the only difference is that my hair has become more porous. It takes on colour (highlights) very very quickley...
