If you had chemotherapy, here’s a general time table:

• two to three weeks after chemotherapy ends: soft baby fine hair
• one month after: real hair starts to grow at its normal rate
• two months after: an inch of hair

How long it takes to grow back a full head of hair (and pubic hair, lashes, and brows if you lost them too) varies from person to person.The hair growing back is often a total different texture kinky and dry and length (very slow growing. )It’s quite common for hair to grow back differently after radiotherapy or chemotherapy treatment. There are several reasons why it happens.
When hair is damaged by radiotherapy or chemotherapy, the weaker hair follicles are destroyed completely whilst the stronger ones often recover. In most people, this means that human hair for white women on the top of the head thins more than hair at the sides – the same pattern you see when people go bald naturally for other reasons.

Although it may look as if it is all one colour, most people’s hair actually contains several different hair types – this is why real hair tends to have more depth of colour than artificial

human lace wigs with silk top. Everybody has some hair that’s finer than the rest – this is the first to grow when we’re babies, and it’s often the last to go. Because some hair types are stronger than others, some people’s hair will actually change shade after treatment. This doesn’t mean that something has colored it, but just that differently colored hair strand follicles have died out.

Hair is often kinky after radiation treatment because, when the body is irradiated, it does not affect the body unequally. This means that follicles can be damaged at one side but healthy at the other. When they create hair, it’s squeezed out at an angle, making it curl. While it could be straightened by pressing with hair straighteners, this is likely to damage fragile hair further. The hair is likely to stay the way it is, at least in terms of its thickness and shape. However, there’s no reason why it needs to stay dry. What it needs is proper nourishment to produce healthier hair in the future. Improving your blood circulation will help more nutrients to reach your hair follicles, so try to get more exercise and make sure you eat a healthy diet.To overcome the nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system. You can also try gently massaging your scalp with coconut or olive oil (avoid citrus oils, as they can dry the skin more). Try not to wash your hair too often and never wash it without using conditioner. You may never be as happy with it as you were before your illness, but it’s still worth bringing out the best in it.

Generally, the hair most likely to fall out is the hair that tends to grow back the fastest. The hair on the top of your head grows faster than your eyebrows or eyelashes.
Your new hair may be just like your old hair, or it may be thicker and curlier, or straighter, than your original hair. And your hair might grow back a different color. Women who dyed and processed their hair might not remember what their hair was like originally and may be surprised by the new natural color and texture. Eventually, your hair usually goes back to the way it used to be after the effect of chemotherapy on the hair follicle wears off. Within 4 to 6 months after your treatment ends, you should have a good head of hair.

Very, very rarely, permanent baldness occurs after many years of strong chemotherapy: Hair follicles get shut down, so there is no new growth. Remember, this situation is extremely rare. If you are one of the very, very few women who remain bald, you may mourn your hair for quite a while. But you can become an expert on what to do to make yourself feel attractive, and help other women deal with their new loss.
