Hi,
My curls lasted about a year and a half or so now I'm left with wavy hair. I urge you to get macadamia nut oil if your hair is frizzy. My stylist gave it to me and it works wonders! really tames the frizzes and gives you body and shine!
I still wear my wigs but it is nice to have my own hair back again, mine came in a different colour as well (drab blondish grey) I was a strawberry blond before the cancer (breast).
Good luck!

Yes survivors do rock!!!! yeah I still have my curls and its been 1 1/2 years since treatment. I also am growing my hair out. I notice that if i just wa**** and do nothing to it it is very wavy. The top part id more curly. I usually use a scrunch spray and scrunch my hair to have more defined curls. It is beginning to grow on me and I am liking the curls. Still sad that my blonde hair is gone but I had blonde highlights put in, they are very subtle but I think I will get more highlights for summer. Funny what chemo does to our hair. When I was on chemo I lost all of my hair including body hair. Now my eyelashes came back but they are very short and thin - I hate them. And they are still blonde, go figure. My hair on my head came back brown. I wish my eyelashes had come back brown so that I wouldn't have to wear mascara. I also have very little underarm hair and I no longer have to shave my legs. My hair is also a different texture. It is very thick and somewhat coarse. It used to be very fine and silky. I am glad to have hair though. I had uterine and ovarian cancer and am just happy to be alive. Hoping to have RNY next month.

Congratulations on finishing your chemo! I know I was so happy to be done with my chemo. It's been 2 years since I finished the chemo and I have grown my hair out to a little past my shoulders. It has a nice wave to it now. I think if it were still short I'd still have the curls because after I wa**** and let it dry naturally, I will get little ringlets around my face where I have shorter layers. I think the length is pulling on the curls. I've gotten used to the curls now and love them! Some days I even "scrunch" my hair. Enjoy your new locks. Did your color change too? Mine came in darker.

I am 3 years post tx and mine have totally gone away.  Sad I had never had curls, except by perm...I loved them.
