Isn't it funny how this happens? Ok so I was talking with an RN at the onc office and she said they believe that hair comes in curlier for 2 reasons.
If its due to chemo then they think it's because the chemicals actually warp the follicles and make them curved. If our follicles are straight then our hair will be too but if the follicle is rounded or crooked the hair will come in curly or wavy depending on how warped the follicle has become. Sometimes if people have heavy hair it will straighten the follicle out in time and eventually the hair will become straighter. If not, the curls may last forever.
If the hair loss is caused by radiation they believe that the follicle gets literally fried and singes. The follicle then gets curved too.
It's funny I have mostly straight and wavy hair but this chunck a the base is so dang curly. It looks funny if I wear my hair up, haha

Ya know....
I was praying for curly hair to come back....but noooooo....stick straight but way thicker. Everytime I'd go to my hair gal I'd say cut it a little shorter, till now it's as short as most of the guys around here.
Thank you girls for sending me home tonight from work, more hip, more chic....and feeling good about myself!!

All you folks have done wonders
for my confidence!! I was terrified to get my hair cut really short....all face and ears...that's what I thought I'd look like....LOL. On the other hand I'm pretty lazy when it comes to hair....and this is a snap....wash it, let it dry....put some goop in it, and mess it up....the only thing easier would be totally bald...YIKES!! I won't go that far.
