When I was taking chemo the first time, my chemo nurses told me of a little boy that they had that took chemo 4 different times and each time his hair returned in a different color! Mine came back with a lot more body and curls. I was always a natural blond, my hair is now quite dark. Several people I know had theirs come back kind of salt and pepper, but surprisingly, I didn't have any grey in mine. I have worn my hair short ever since it came back in. I really got to liking the ease of care and people kept saying they liked me in short hair.
