Re: Chemotherapy Permanent Hair Loss
I had Taxotere. My hair has grown back really curly and so thick. The colour grew back awful- many grey hairs and an awful light brown. So had it all dyed blonde- too short for highlights! Hence, the signature name Blondie. Never thought I would suit the white blonde, pixie cut look. So have some fun, try a few different looks- you may be pleasantly surprised. Most of the people I have spoken to say their hair has grown back thicker.
(I have read that Vit D helps with hair growth- I take 3,000IU per day.)
