Hair Hair Hair - Another question

ladym13, sorry I can't see your pictures.

survivor11, what is the hair gallery?

Racy- I am looking into extensions. I used the cold caps and kept most hair but the hair I did lose makes it difficult to style. My stylist says we can donor but I am worried.

Carol2, your hair looks great.  At about 12 weeks PFC, mine is coming in oddly.  The sides and back are thin and flat, but the top is thick andI swear if I let it, it could keep growing straight up and look like grass.  Not sure how it's going to continue to grow.

Thanks for the compliments. I do think my hair is growing a little bit faster than normal. I think this is pretty much the wave I had before chemo. it's hard to tell because it always curled up more when it was shorter or layered. I was wearing it all one length down to my shoulders before, not even any layers so that the ends would look thicker. I always had very fine hair, and the ends would get straggley.  I don't think it's thicker now but I do feel like I have more of it somehow. You can't tell in the pics but there is a lot of grey in there too. I colored it once months ago with a semi permanent and then did not want to spend the money. 

I do take 5,000 mcg of biotin every day so that may be helping, and I use nioxin shampoo and conditioner. I was using the nioxin scalp treatment but now that the hair is coming in pretty good i stopped. 

I'll keep posting pics for you all as it comes in. I know I found it helpful to see pics of the regrowth when my hair came out.  

lago you look great. I have not been wearing a bra with my tes but sometimes i need to wear a sprots bra or cami to cover the indent from the scar. Did your PS say it's ok to go braless after the exchange?

just wanted to post an updated pic, taken this weekend- 13 months post chemo finally able to enjoy some styles

you are looking great Ladym very sassy!!

This is 12 weeks PFC

Ladym13, you look absolutely beautiful. Thank you, your photo gives me so much hope. When I am 13 months pfc will be when I turn 50.



Mariel, your growth is very advanced for your stage.



Summergirl1, thanks for the link. I will check it out. I am also interested in hair extensions. I am nearly 18 weeks pfc and my hair is maybe a bit shorter than Mariel's. I will let you know how I go with the extensions.

ladym13 Wow looks lik everything is back to normal for you. When did your hair start to straighten out? Sexy picture.

Marial that's some head of hear you have at  12 weeks PFC! You must be drinking mircle grow or something. I assume you are going topless. YOu look awesome.

mariel coming along nicely you should be ready to go topless if not now really soon.

marial, you look great!  Beautiful eyes and eyebrows, too.

 My hair growth on top is similar to yours, but my sides and back are thinner.  I remind myself of a ch-ch-ch-CHIA pet!

Post Final Chemo

Thank you - I've looked for it but the explanation I found didn't make any sense.  I'm trying to finally get some pics posted and didn't know what to count from - now I know.
