I didn’t lose any hair during chemo but my hair has gone completely straight whereas it was curly before chemo. Has anyone else NOT lost their hair but found it had gone straight after chemo

Only Taxol of all my treatments was supposed to cause major hair loss and I did not lose it during Frontline (it thinned but I did not lose it) and now on Taxol again, it is slightly thinner (already thin from previous treatment) but still remaining. Mine did not change texture. I don't know about you but I see so many people with curly hair wishing for straight hair and those with straight wishing for curly--maybe you will enjoy the straight hair and the different styles you can try that you couldn't before. Nice not to lose it though! oxox

I was intrigued to find that my pubic hair grew back straight, in a rather becoming fringe!! After a while it reverted to curls. ☺

Hi Julie! You too have been “ genetically modified !”

Opposite with me / how crazy .all my life long brown dead straight hair . Chemo then

None . Then came back wavy !! Due to a hairdressers mistake getting grey roots redone I’m now a strawberry blonde with wavy hair!

My old friends here in NZ seem to like it so I’m getting used to it .

It’s all bonkers ...

Good luck and take care

Hi Julia! I did lose all my hair. Came in curly and more salt and pepper that before. My hair WAS long, straight and pure white. Now it's thin and still thinking and not all white. It also lost its curl. 😣
