This will get rid of the most brittle, dry hair. You may even like to get the ends trimmed once a month or every other month until your hair returns to its normal texture. In 6 to 12 months most of your chemo curls will be gone and you'll be free to try new styles with your short hair. Enjoy your new hair.
I lost my hair in the third week of treatment. I was on taxol, cyplatin, and herceptin for 12 weeks. Then 5fu with the herceptin for another 3 months. My hair did not return until 2 months after the last chemo. It came back very curly and very thick hence the name âFluffyâ gven to me by a co-worker. I was completely bald for 6 months. On the bright side, I no longer have any gray hair. Also, I do not have to shave my legs or underarms to this day! It has been almost 17 months since my last chemo.
