2 years agoDoes anyone want to share how soon your hair came back after chemo treatments ended? I still have to continue with immunotherapy for a few more months, just wondering how long before hair might return. Thanks
Accepted Answer
Hair regrowth timing varies for everyone, but many people notice their hair starting to return within a few weeks to a couple of months after chemotherapy ends. The new hair often comes back with different texture or color at first, and it gradually returns to something closer to what it was before treatment. Since you're continuing with immunotherapy, that might affect the timeline a bit, so it's worth discussing with your healthcare team what to expect in your specific situation.

6 months agoWhen I finished my last round of chemo about 2 weeks out my hair started coming back like soft little hairs. I bought some really good shampoo and conditioner that is completely natural. Then also purchased a red light brush. I did not wear hats or scarfs to let my scalp breathe.

6 months agoI have heard coconut oil and rosemary oil are great for regrowth. I’m going to try it when I finish with chemo.
