I was a blonde all my life, ash blonde with help from
L'oreal at the time my hair fell out. Now I see it is gray. I'm waiting to see if I get the famous chemo curls. No matter what, I love having hair again! Thanks for writing!

I had long slightly wavy dark brown hair, pre chemo. When it came back it was kinky like bozo the clown and snow white. By the time I was 40 it was grey and silver and curly in places but straight in others. I left it grey but I perm it so that it at least matches. Like you I am very grateful for hair. Now if I could only dance like Christopher Walken. @loribmt .

Congrats on your hair!!! I was thrilled to see the little bristles returning to my head! Lost my hair 3 times during my extended chemo and bone marrow transplant. When it finally reemerged, this time for keeps, my lifelong super straight hair came in looking much like Christopher Walken. Giggle. Very course texture, standing stick straight in the air like a long flattop as it grew! Sides were baby fine though. Weird. Now, a year later I’m loving my hair. It’s all the same texture and the coarseness keeps it puffy on the top. Never had that luxury before! Enjoy!! The only drawback is now daily I have to style my hair. It was much easier with just a quick wash and pat dry. LOL.
