Ok lighter moment here!
I'm loosing my hair (and have had it cut really short -number2)
but why oh why, has all my coloured and natural coloured hair gone first and left me with the grey looking like a badgers bum!
Is grey hair stronger, or is this just another burden to bear?
Oh well, c'est la vie!
Dawn
Hi, Dawn, I shaved all mine off I was going grey any way but I used to have it coloured, however sine the end of all the treatment my hair has come back really thick although salt and pepper and really curly where it was dead straight before, to start with I loathed it and could not wait to get it cut in the hope that it would go straight but I have left it to grow and I really love it now as do all my family and friends, so maybe there is a very small plus side to it all. However on a more serious side whatever happens to your hair it is a small price to pay. Best Wishes Pam
Hiya Pam, yep agree with you re the small price to pay, can't wait to see what it does come back like, but I do miss the blonde I was sporting before!!
I don't think it is more resilient, I have whitish hair and when I have chemo it always goes a horrible yellowish colour so I think the chemo changes the colour of your hair anyway....but when it eventually grows back I get zapped again 
Best wishes love x G x
Hi Dawn, my husband shaved all mine off when it started to fall out. I'd been colouring it all my adult life so wasn't surprised that it grew back in shades of grey. I eventually had blonde highlights and lowlights done by a hairdresser who has had years of experience with chemo patients and can honestly say that I like it better than I did before chemo.
Good luck with the rest of your treatment.

My hair is grey and when I went to work yesterday (first time that my work colleagues
had seen me for a year) they all liked the new Leenie, I do feel so much more sophisticated and I must admit I am looking pretty good for an old girl of 54

I popped into work this evening ( I work in a school - parents evening) and most have not seen me with my (grey) Sinead O'Connor look, but said it suited me, and I believed them!
Boost to the ego that I don't look like a scarecrow and am looking good for an old girl under 50!
Mine came back very dark brown no grey at all? not bad for 66yrs. But as I have been blonde since I was 16yrs. big shock got tinted back to blonde straight away.

PS grey hair is definately stronger
As you can see from my photo I was dark. Since chemo has finished my hair has come back grey. Salt and pepper, some really light bits. All my friends like it as do my family and I have got used to it. It is as thick as it was prior to treatment too and no sign of the chemo curl lol. I had been contemplating letting my hair go grey for about a year prior to my illness but chickened out. I don't recommend our way of going au natural though lol
Nope I agree with you, it is a drastic way of experimenting with a change of colour!
I'm hoping my hair will come back thicker as it was very fine baby blonde hair before, I still hanker after the farrah Fawcett long blonde tresses, but guess I might have to give up that dream now....especially as it has hasn't appeared over the last 50 years!
Can I dye my hair when taking Niraparib
