It has been 3 months since end of chemo. Can anyone share their hair pictures or stories about hair regrowth?

I had to give up on my real hair at least for now. It is kinky and frizzy and completely unmanageable. I own several wigs that look much more like my real hair and this is what I do. I am determined to look as good as I can
You look TERRIFIC! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kinky chemo hair is what I have been hearing. I have more turbans to wear. I live in Phoenix so my wigs are very hot in the summer here.
Thanks for the information.!
I have had many comments now - my hair looks a lot like yours. I will stick to my turbans.
You might check into Rachel Welch Luxlite cap wigs. Very sheer cap. I live in FL and it is comfortable for me.
You are beautiful no matter what you choose to do.
Thank you for the information - chemo hair seems to be most common
You are too kind. Now my hair is thickening. And it's all coming back, some in places I would rather it didn't.
It's been a while, but here was my 3 month hair. After that it came in curly, now at 3 years curls are at the bottom.
thank you
Hi! I know I'm late to the party, but I'd love to join in! Losing my hair to chemo didn't affect me too much emotionally, thankfully, although I know it's different for everyone. I did find it a very interesting process, so I'm happy to (over?)share! I can tell you, I never, ever took selfies before cancer. Once I was diagnosed, I was snapping pics of everything; my biopsy bruise, my surgical incisions, my (grotesque) radiation burns, my beautiful bald head, and every stage of regrowth. I swear I'm not a narcissist; I just wanted to document my journey! I had heard of "chemo curls" and wondered if I'd get them--I sure did, and I loved it! They have pretty much grown out now, two years post-chemo and several haircuts later. I know several ladies who had very similar regrowth to mine. There was definitely a mullet stage; that's when I got my first haircut, about 11 months after my last chemo infusion. Oh! One more thing--I didn't lose my eyebrows and lashes until the very end of chemo, and they have been much slower to grow back. I have some, but not much. Anyway, I'm always long-winded when I post here. Best to all! (If you click the pics, they are labeled with when they fall in the timeline.)
