Raw October: raising breast cancer awareness — one fact, figure, feeling, and photograph at a time.
Warning: Chemotherapy can change the color and texture of your hair; meaning, the hair you lose will likely not be the same hair you get back. The proof is in the photo — I lost my straight, blond locks and gained a dark, curly mop.
The hair transformation is not always a forever thing, though, because my dark is not so dark anymore, and my curls are not so curly anymore. With each passing day (there have been about 2,920 of them), I look more and more like my old self.

My hair is nothing like it was and it wasn’t that great to begin with. So that sort of indicates how I feel about it now! The hair is always a big deal isn’t it? You look great. Thanks for sharing your words and your photos.

Thank god that you are safe now.Even you cannot put back the color and texture of your hair as same as before,you are more lucky than others who died after chemo.
Thanks,
