Langley Cruisers Posted December 18, 2014 #26 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hi hon, I lost all my hair during chemo too and it grew back curly and in grey patches. The advice was do not color the "new hair" as it might turn orange. It simply isn't able to hold the color as regular hair would. I've made peace with my hair... I'm so happy to have it! I had to swipe it out of my eye the other day, and I almost cried! LOL God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm going to be on the inhibitor for a long time and it makes the hair white. I have white eyebrows and eyelashes too. :) is been about 1.5 years now since the chemo. The hair I do have takes forever to grow in because I have permanent damage to my bone marrow from the intense chemo drugs they used and I can't make hemoglobin properly now. My body puts the hair on low priority. It's the only reason I hesitate to cut it off. :) what you see on me now is 1 years worth of growth.

pcur Posted December 20, 2014 #28 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I would get the pixie cut, and then have a heavy white streaking done over most of the head. This will blend the colors and help with the transition as it grows out. It will end up looking like a lot of sunstreaking throughout all the hair.

luv-my-kids Posted January 11, 2015 #33 Share Posted January 11, 2015 It looks great! I like the Pixie cut! Shorter hair is also easier to deal with. Hope you are feeling great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherilyn70 Posted January 11, 2015 Author #34 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks, it really is so much easier to maintain. Especially since I do spend a lot of time laying down and resting. We went out tonight and I got so many compliments on the haircut and color (everyone really thinks the white is intentional!)
