I finished up my chemo on the 9th of December. I have now had one haircuts and feel that my hair is almost back to normal. My hair came back in a little more wavy than it was before but my hairdresser says that the next cut the extra wave will be gone and I will be back to my regular hair. It seems to be coming back in as thick as it was before. I used to have very thick and coarse hair. It is softer than it was before.
It took about 2 months after chemo before I started seeing noticeable and encouraging hair growth. I was on herceptin during and after the chemo so the herceptin did not seem to affect my regrowth of hair. My eyebrows, lashes and all other bodily hair has returned.
Hang in there, you will not have to wear wigs for too much longer.
All the best, Kool
