Members responded warmly to the question about hair growing back differently after treatment, with many sharing that their hair returned with surprising changes in texture, color, and thickness. Several members described hair coming back curly, darker, finer, or with new cowlicks, while others noted that eyelashes and eyebrows also grew back in unexpected ways, including different angles or clumping together. A recurring theme was that regrowth takes time and patience, with encouraging notes that hair does eventually return, and a helpful tip shared was a L'Oreal Faux Brow product for those dealing with eyebrow loss.

I have not had treatment yet, but have lost my eyebrows from high corticosteroid use. L’Oréal has a product called Faux Brow. It comes in many colors and really looks natural compared to a pencil. It has 2 tiny paint brushes, that you slowly paint on with tiny strokes. It doesn’t come off and it lasts. It only takes minutes to do.

After my stem cell transplant, I lost ALL of my hair! Within about 4 months, it came back curly and I looked like a poodle for a while! Within a year, my hair calmed down and it grew back normal and thicker than ever. A good wig is essential during the growing out phase but rest assured that your hair WILL come back.

I had my hair chopped off because I didn't want to see it come out in clumps. Mine came back the same, straight. Not quite as thick but almost. And the same color. Seemed to take forever but all good now.

Mine was straight and then when it came back I had a massive cowlick that makes haircuts difficult. At least it is not turning loose.

Mine came back curly (for a couple of months) darker, thinner and finer with no gray! Now 10 years later, still thinner, finer with gray blended in it also has a mind of its own 😂 thought I should shave it off and give it another go. It my husband said he would rather I didn’t haha
