Yes, and many people to whom I've spoken about it say that their hair grew back darker, or more curly, thick, or more coarse.


Answer:
Yes, after you're done with the chemo.

Sometimes it'll grow back completely different than it was before.


Answer:
yes it does and is sometimes curly even if your hair was straight prior to chemotherapy.

Answer:
Yes, hair does grow back after completing chemo.

Answer:
Yes it does

Answer:
most of the time - after chemo yes

it might not come back exactly as it was b4 - and it might not come back in certain parts of your body

4 example my mom - her hair grew in thinner and curlier, and no more hair on the top part of her legs

but my nana everything came in A-OK so

good luck!! =)


Answer:
Once the treatments have stopped hair will grow back. However, it can grow back, straight when once curly, black when once blond or back the same shade and style.

Answer:
Yes, it does grow back. Two women I am close with have been through this, as well as brain surgeries. Sometimes your hair will come in a bit of a different color, in both cases it's darker! During Chemo try to keep your confidence up with hats and cute scarves..

Answer:
yes it will….my mom did chemotherapy cuz she had breast cancer and her hair was completely gone and now it's normal again and even better than before…it grew back

Answer:
Yes, typically a few weeks after your last chemo treatment it will start coming back in. Don't be surprised if your hair is different at first. I've seen some who had straight hair had it come back curly where others have actually changed color. A lot of times it will go back to the way it was, but I knew one guy his hair was light brown come back almost black.

Answer:
yes.

Answer:
yes it would defo come back

Answer:
Yes, hang in there

Answer:
When you are done with the chemotherapy, your hair will grow back.

Answer:
Yes it does, it may even start to grow back before chemo is finished. The hair on my head grew back curly, but is now straight again - it was curly while short, a bit of weight straightened it out. It's thinner than before.

Some people's grows back a different colour - sadly it seems grey remains grey!

My body hair is much sparser and my underarm hair never grew back.


Answer:
Indeed it will–even after high-dose chemo. It may be curlier than it was previously… then again, it may be exactly the same as well. It's pretty individual.

Answer:
Yes!

Answer:
Yes, it will. I always had thick hair, but mine came back even thicker than before…..also, the first time it came back, it started curly, then changed to wavy, but it grew back in a "layered look" which was not the style I had it before the chemo nocked it out! That was cool! This last time, it again came back curly, but this time, it has stayed curly…….and the color was different too. I've had friends whose hair came back straight as a pin…no curl at all…….you just never know what is going to happen!
