    MLB - love those cuts - wonder how long it takes to get that much hair!

    If any of you get the Chico's catolgue there is a beautiful woman in there with really short blonde hair - it is a similar cut to the one on the left but maybe a little shorter.

    The hair is pretty, but those lashes make me almost swoon!

    Beegee, I love your story about the little girl - at least she tried to be subtle...  I've been asked outright by a few friends and co-workers if they could "pet" my hair.  I'm good-humored about it, but it really is annoying.

    LOL!!  My dream hair too!! They are stunningly beautiful and could wear any old hairstyle I know.

    I just took a pic of my head and have started a photobucket album which I'm going to update every couple of weeks so I can see (hopefully) my hair progress.

    Carrol you look faboulous and I don't mean just your hair. What a difference!

    onvacation That woman has been in the Chico's catalog for some time. I actually brought a picture of her from the catalog when I first got my hair cut. Told my hair dresser that was the look I wanted.

    Pictured below is from the Chicos catalog. This is NOT ME.

    Ironically I now wear my hair shorter on the sides/back but longer bangs.

    Lago and onvacatin

    So that's the model you were talking about.  We don't have Chico's up here that I know of anyway.  I would be delighted to have that cut!

    lago...that look is adorable...I am almost there but my hair has no body. Now that my hair is "charcoal" I think it's  time for me to stop colouring it, altho the colour does give it some body. Hmmmmm

    Deen - I finished AC the end of January and started 12 weeks of Taxol/Herceptin, finishing the taxol on April 12th.  My hair started growing back during the Taxol.  I had tiny fuzz on the top of my head around Feb 21 (I started takin pics of my scalp just for encouragement).  After that it started to grow in gradually on the top of my head, slower on the sides and back.  I'm now about 5 weeks PFC and have about an inch on the top of my head and shorter on the sides and back.  You can still see scalp on the sides and back, but it is starting to fill in SLOWLY!  I can't wait to ditch my halo wigs and hats but not quite ready yet but pretty soon!Undecided

    Hello all, I like looking at your hair growth progress, it gives me hope! I am 7 weeks PFC and it is not growing at all! I still have some left over hair and that hair is growing looking more and more ridiculous. I am thinking to just shave it all off and walk around baldy headed.. :-D I wanna ditch these headcovers I am dying of hot flashes!

    MamaV - what a ponytail lol I LOVE it!

    Lago - nice haircut and the color..   I am so sick of seeing that ashy-almost greenish-blond/brown on my head.

    Silvia - There's hope -  I had no growth at all until 8 weeks PFC.  Then it grew steadily 1/2" month.  I now have 4" at 10 months PFC - and even made that silly ponytail!  Soon, baby soon!

    Everyone's hair is looking great! I just wanted to check in on this post. I have not been on for a while. All I can say is I love how time goes by. :) All things change. It seemed - at first - like it would take forever for my hair to come in. Now I've got this mop of curly hair. I stopped my chemo in October. I enjoyed having the shaved head look...so I kept shaving it down to a zero. Once my hair started showing signs of even growth I started growing it out. I kept it at a 1 and a 2 for a while. Soon as my hair was at an Annie Leynox crop stage - I had it dyed blonde. That was fun. Once I could get my haircut I did. I went to my son's barber. I wanted someone who really knew how to cut short hair. And had lots of practice! I like what he has done with my hair. I loved the fun super short pixie stage. I'm growing it out now because I am so curious to what my hair will now look like. I have a two inch curly fro! After I find out - there is a good chance I will go back to my super short 1 1/2 inch long pixie. lol . For those of you sporting the bald look - or the shaved look - enjoy! I mean really - when is the next time you get to walk around with a shaved head? I dressed the part with artsy clothes, jewelry, and fun makeup. When I went in for my haircut - my son's barber had no idea I had had chemo - he just thought I was a woman that chose to go bald. lol I'll take that. :) Sounds good to me.
