My eyebrows came in very thin after chemo. I now have them dyed every 2 mos or so when I get my hair cut. It makes a big difference in the emphasis around my eyes. My hair came back in a little more curly. I used to have it a little longer, but when it was growing back, the shorter length looked better on me than I had expected. Also, my hair came back much darker - I tell people my colorist is my oncologist
