My hair came back super curly - like a bad perm from the 80's. It also came back darker before. I didn't have gray before I lost my hair and was afraid that it would come in gray. It grew back so dark, after it was about 3 inches long I asked my stylist to lighten it. That really changed the texture - not for the better! I also used a flat iron to try to straighten it. All of this just damaged my hair even more. Finally after several haircuts (sometimes pretty short) all the goofy stuff was gone and my normal hair came back. It was still very dark so about 6 months ago (for the first time) I had a weave. I really love the way it turned out. I wear my hair shorter and curlier than before but everyone loves it. Just keep trimming off the new fluffy stuff and eventually it should calm down.
Now, even on a 'bad hair day' it is GREAT just to have hair!
