Yes chemo changes hair texture but it is temporary. It all has to grow back over time. I have seen patients shave their heads, wear scarves, or wigs. It is a hard time, but you are a survivor.

Mine came back like super curly. I wore a scarf until it was long enough to straighten. The more you trim the thicker and better it gets. I still keep mine at shoulder length.

It's completely normal for hair to have a different texture after chemotherapy treatment. Many people experience changes in their hair texture, including frizziness, and sometimes even a different color when it grows back.

Here are some tips that may help manage frizzy hair after chemo:

• Use gentle, moisturizing hair care products
• Try leave-in conditioners to add moisture
• Avoid heat styling when possible
• Consider using anti-frizz serums or oils
• Be patient as your hair continues to adjust Remember that while dealing with changes in your hair texture can be frustrating, having hair regrowth is indeed a positive sign after treatment. If you're concerned about managing your hair texture, consider speaking with your healthcare team - they may be able to recommend specific products or treatments that are safe to use during your recovery period.
