Wigs! Hair loss with TC chemo

I had long curly/frizzy hair before TC; about 2 weeks after starting treatment it became very matted at the back of my head and was coming out while showering. I called my niece and had her shave my head. I never actually went bald - so my hair was probably thinning ALOT. Fortunately I was working from home and it was winter so I just wore warm polar fleece caps day and night to keep my head warm. I looked at my hair situation as a "Do Over" and was interested in how it would return.

After TC was completed my hair started coming in, it is slightly different - the curl is looser and my hair actually feels softer. Its still growing slowly and it will be a year come this July when all chemo treatments were completed. Its not long enough to anything with but to wash and let air dry - it was slow growing before chemo so I'm not surprised that it is still slow growing.

Best of luck in your journey with treatment.

I have curly/frizzy hair too! I wonder if I’ll have looser and softer curls when it grows back. That would be nice!
