Has anyone else noticed a change of texture in your hair when it grows back? Not only is my texture different, the color completely has turned much deeper from the normal blonde to almost a yucky mousy light brown. Am I the only one? Do y'all think this is temporary or permanent?

Hi, Itty. With my type of chemo I didn't lose my hair, it just thinned out some.

My ex-partner's son (who was 11 at the time) had dark brown hair that grew back in a dirty blond and a bit wavy. I believe the new color remained, but I am not sure about the wave.
