Louise,
Like Bonnie I had straight hair before chemo and have straight hair again. I was hoping for curls. Last chemo was the beginning of March and I gave up the wig in July.

Thank goodness the spiked look is in, because it is not growing all that fast and has a mind of its own. I do love it though. I wash it , put in a little gel and spike it. Got it highlighted ASAP because it came in very brown, and I was a dark blonde before. Yep, there are no bad hair days now, just hair days

. Life is good.
