TELL ME STRAIGHT
TELL ME STRAIGHT HELLO ALL, CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON THE BEST WAY TO KEEP MY HAIR STRAIGHT. BEFORE CHEMO (WHICH I FINISHED IN MAR 2006)I HAD STRAIGHT HAIR I READ ABOUT THE CHEMO CURL THANK GOD ITS NOT CURLY CURLY, MORE OF A WAVE IN IT WHICH I DO NOT LIKE. I BOUGHT SOME STUFF BY LOREAL THE OTHER DAY TO TRY (ONLY COST £2.99P) ITS OKAY BUT FEEL I COULD FIND SOMETHING BETTER. I HAVE NOT HAD MY FIRST HAIR CUT YET ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH TO WAIT I RECKON (CAN’T WAIT) WHEN I FIRST LOST MY HAIR I REMEMBER THINKING THE FIRST THING I AM GOING TO WHEN IT COMES BACK IS GET IT BLEACHED BLONDE (BEEN BLONDE FOR 30 YEARS) WELL GUESS WHAT IT HAS GROWN BACK LIGHT GREY AND WHITE ALL MIXED UP AND I LIKE IT SO NO MORE BLEACH, IS THERE ANY MINI TYPE TONGS ANYONE KNOWS OF, AS I ALWAYS HAVE MY HAIR IN A BEATLES TYPE HAIR STYLE SO MINI TONGS WOULD BE BEST. THANKS ALOT ALL XXXXX
Hi Kippy
Like you, my hair came back wavy rather than curly. It had been very straight originally. I found John Frieda Frizz-Ease Wind-Down Relaxing Creme really good. You apply it to damp hair after shampooing, comb it through and then blow dry. I also had it trimmed regularly and after each cut it seemed to become straighter. It will be two years in October since I finished chemo and my hair is now shiny and healthy, there’s no grey in sight (there was before!) and it’s STRAIGHT!! So don’t give up hope - I’m sure it will become straighter over time and you’ll get it back to how it was before. You never know, if it’s anything like mine, it will be even BETTER than before!
Hope this helps.
