Hair problem

My hair is growing back quite quickly now, very happy about that I didn't suit a bald head at all. But as always I'm not satisfied Prior to chemo my hair was thick, curly and shiny, my crowning glory.

It's come back thinner slightly wavy and very flyaway. I am at my wits end trying to get it to stay in place.

Any help welcome. I've already tried a couple of readily available shampoos both left my hair sticky which wasn't quite the effect I wanted.

Julie, when I lost my hair everyone was envious of it, when it grew back, because it was soft and silky. It isn't as thick as it used to be, but 7 years later it is as straight as it always used to be ( and I wanted it to come back curly ).
Give it a year and I am sure you will find it easier to style!

Re: Hair problem

Julie buy an anti-static hairbrush.
If you still have problems, I will recommend some other products.

Re: Hair problem

Hi, just wondered if a quick spray of a light hair lacquer would tame it down and hold it in style at the same time....there are lots of very good makes with light holds ect....worth a try, good luck xx

It's about two inches most places, little less in others.

That's an idea worth a try.

I always use a wooden one sweetie, even before this I liked the natural wood bristle for untangling.

When mine was that long it looked a bit fluffy....like some baby hair, but when it reached 4-5 inches it started to settle.
Hair grows at approx half an inch a month, so by June you may see some changes.... and you can wear a hat when it is cold!

Good Luck!
