It takes a while, try not to worry. I finished chemo March 2013 and didn't go wigless until mid-September 2013. And it was still short! You will start a growing spurt soon. I obsessed because I had really thick curly hair that grew like a weed. It's to growing like a weed and thick and curly.

But don't ask me about my eyebrows :-(

Best
