I am growing my hair back for the second time...

First time I wore my hats for about 5 months until I felt my hair had grown enough to go "commando"...

This time I finished chemo on Jan. 26 and my hair is growing like a weed! I am only 3 months out today and I plan to start going hatless in about 2 weeks for an event I will be attending. I think the key has been using Nioxin Follicle Booster. I am a hairdresser and have watched Nioxin work fairly well for many clients with thinning hair. I figured if it can help spur some growth on heads where there is progressive thinning, then maybe it can help me grow my hair faster and thicker (with no history of thinning before chemo). It seems to have really helped the process along. It is not very long now (about 1/2 -3/4 inch), but it is close to being where it was at 5 months the first time. It has grown in more evenly all over, which did not happen the first time.
