I too was in a hurry to color my hair. I finished chemo in Feb. I colored around June, and I was a flaming red head due to the chemicals. Eleven months later, I am able to color and highlight so it looks like the old me. Texture of my hair is much thicker. I too had curls for the first time in my life, but they are starting to relax. Now, I wish I could get rid of my weight gain.... So an old boss today, and I told him I look like a "little porker," and he grinned and told me that I look like a "healthy porker." God is good!
P.S.--Christmas is over and I'm back.............27 years of retail insanity!
Happy New Years to you all!
Louise
