Hair Hair Hair - Another question

kittycat, first of all, Happy Anniversary!  You look soo good!

kittycat... I LOVE YOUR HAIR ....WOW !!!! You look so amazing!!!

marjie, Your hair looks so thick and great color too!

Yep - had the fuzz!!  I agree that my hair is thick - it's like a carpet on my head, hope I can get some length happening soon.  Sheesh we're never happy are we??

Kitkat you drinking miricle grow? You look awesome.

Marjie you have one of those faces that make me smile everytime I see yours. I think the short hair looks fabulous on you.

So today I bumped into one of my old profs from grad school. Actually he spotted me… said wow you changed your hair. He then said something else about it so I gave him the "not by choice". He of course said "enough said" then asked if I did the chemo, surgery etc. He said "you look great considering all you've been through."

He was given the nickname "asshole" by the undergrads. Hmmmm This is supposed to be an educated man. Too funny. I'm not upset by this just think it's funny knowing who it's coming from. Guess he doesn't like short hair or doesn't realize I'm 23 years older.

I am 2 weeks post-chemo and have white fuzz. Was a blonde (mostly), and my wig is platinum blonde so am hoping I can pull off the white look, but not for a long time. SIGH. 

Also, I had asked about Nioxin. Didn't realize it came in so many versions...the one I got from my stylist is #3 system, which looks like the "normal/thinning" version! I looked at the website (cant' remember who posted, but thanks) and now I am not sure WHAT system I should be using. I may have to call the shop owner-she goes to my church-and clarify. She told me yesterday she would get me refills at cost when I need them; she felt bad that I had already paid the retail sale price. The girls rent the chairs and get commission on the products they sell. Is everyone using System 2? 

Huskerkkc, I've ordered the system 2 from Amazon, I had read on someone else's post that is what system they went with. So I thought I would give it a try.

I am using System 8 in the Nioxin.  I had DH examine my head with a flashlight tonight and I definitely have teeny, tiny short hairs growing - I'm 10 days PFC.  Yipee!

Marjie - there is a definitely difference between your old avatar and your new hair!

KittyKat - WOW!  I can't wait until I have that much hair!

 You ladies all look fantastic!

Hey girls. My hair started growing back at the end of September when I was on Taxol. My sister did dose dense Taxol and hers didn't grow back right away. However, she has this huge mane of hair (she's 2 years post chemo and it's probably shoulder length now). I haven't seen her since Christmas. I have insanely curly hair. It takes me forever to straighten it, so I wash it every other day. Plus there's a ton of it so it doesn't get limp by the 2nd day. I don't use Nioxin or any special products. My hairdresser got me to use the Onesta products. They aren't cheap, but I use them every other day so they are lasting a while. I also use Moroccan Oil and pomade called Previse. My sister sent me the pomade and it really helps it when styling it. I didn't start wearing my hair in public until mid April. Then it got too bulky under the wig. I loved my wigs though. Never a bad hair day! LOL! I had the back trimmed up or "stacked" as they call it. It makes it easier to style.



Marjie, you look really pretty with short hair. I think it's true that only beautiful women get bc. LOL!

Thanks kittycat. I am very envious of your hair.

Hi ladies - I read often, but post very infrequently.  Marjie - you look great - I want my hair to look just like yours.  I am about 14 wks PFC.  My hair is growing in thick, soft, and GRAY/WHITE!  I colored it before, and I am ready to go topless, but not ready to be gray.  When can I color it and what can I use?  Also, it is about 1" and mostly lays flat except where it decides to stick up and there seem to be cowlicks all over my head.  Any recommended styling products out there?  Thanks for the help!

just noticed a dark shaddow where I had lost part of my eyebrows!  I will be good to have eyebrows back since it will be a long time before I have bangs.

Yes it can. Mine is growing and I'm not done with taxol yet. One more treatment left. I was told by my onc nurse that it could start growing while on taxol.
