Hair Hair Hair - Another question

Thanks for the Halle Berry photo. The idea of my looking anything like the divine Halle is pretty funny, but I do like that hairdo.

Re the Halle Hair.

I was saying to a GF a while back that I wish I had one of those faces that would suit "Halle" hair.  I don't LOL!  But I would still be gratefull for it at this point.  I haven't had short hair since I was 6 and I begged for a pixie cut in the 60's.  Since my mid 30's I've always kept it shoulder length.  Ahhh shoulder length hair...... or just hair for that matter.  I comfort myself with the hope that like alot of women before me, their hair seems more lovely a year down the road than it did before TX.

I'm one year PFC now and I had my first hair cut about 6 weeks ago. I didn't want it cut since it took so long to grow but it helped to shapen it up and the curls are not as curly now. It's funny but I have friends who look at me and tell me how much they love my hair and seem so surprised by their own statements. I even have people I don't know tell me what beautiful hair I have and how lucky I am to have just the right amount of curls. I never know what to say and have a hard time responding but inside I'm thinking of the strangers' comments like "If you only knew what I had to go through to get this". Someday I'll get up the nerve to ask my friends why they stare so much. I really don't get it but I'm so thankful, grateful and happy that my hair has grown back in at all. I was so afraid I would be someone whose hair never grew back so for all of you worrying avbout your hair, it takes time but the end result will get there sooner or later. I never miss a day without looking in the mirror and being grateful. I wish I could put on a photo but I've never been able to figure it out b ut it doesn't matter. I just wanted to give you all some hope who are still waiting for their hair to grow.

I use mousse only and either let it air dry or a warm dryer because if it's any hotter it will blow it every which a way. The mousse allows it to be controlled.

I have been using the got to be glued products, the back is just unmanagable.  When I look in the mirror from the front I LOVE my hair, but when I look at the back I hate it!  The top and sides are straight, but the back is super curly, the curls go out instead of down.  

Auntie, so glad the MAC pencil worked for you. 

Had my "haircut" yesterday.. Had my hairdresser shape my hair  in hopes it will grow out nicer, was hard to see the little bit of hair on the cape as I have waited so long for it to grow.. Hairdresser said my natural colour is starting to come back in woohoo. But there are patches  yup he said patches of completely white hair still.. ..  Hope that will change.. Don't mind some grey mixed in, but do mind patches of white

Feeling much better today. Only some heaviness in my new foob, getting used to it though. Stitches pulling on my lifted side.. Signs of healing happening.. Think another week off work should be good then back to reality.. Going to enjoy another gorgeous day here.

23 weeks PFC

OK, I think I may have figured out how to post a pic...  These were taken today, 23 weeks PFC.

Thank, Ossa...  I do have a lot of hair, but it's really short - I'd happily trade some of the thickness for more length!  It's only about 1.5 inches, less than that in the front, and it has taken over 5 months to get to that point.   I'll be done with Herceptin in mid-August, and I'm hoping the growth will speed up after that.

Thanks Ella!  Yes - the brand is Garnier Herbashine.  I used "copper mahogany brown", which is pretty close to my natural color.  It is supposed to last 28 shampoos. I shampoo every day, and it really lasts only about 3 weeks.

MizMarie

Lookin good!!!  I was just checking my head (like  do 10 times a day LOL) The fuzzies just stand straight like I have static or something.

Hey Mizmarie, aren't you looking cute!

mismarie your hair look beautiful! It will grow before you know it.

Well I have not cut my hair except for one time about 4 month PFC and it is now  17 months PFC. I now have really frizzy split ends. I was looking so good but the humidity really brings out the frizz.I still really like my hair now though way better than before.

So I made an appointment for tuesday with my salon to get a trim and go to their spring fling to see all the new products. I am even getting an airbrush tan.  I am going to research color options and makeup. I am now allergic to purple and some blue eyeshadows which both look really good on me but make my eyes all red.

So I am really nervous about cutting my hair but I know it will look better without the frizz.

Hi ladies, I am going on 9 wks PFC and see some hair regrowth on the sides of my head and a bit on the top. My question is on the #%^> brows. I lost my brows sometime in Feb and they haven't returned! Neither have the eyelashes but they don't bother me as much. What is the story with eye hair? I understood it was on a three month cycle but it has been more than three months. I have some very faint colored growth on the one eye and absolutely nilch on the other. I know I hear alot about latisse but I wonder if I cannot get regrowth without adding another product into my system. Also I don't know where I would get it in my small town.



Please help me! For some reason the eye hair bothers me more than the head hair.
