Chemo Curls!

I have heard all the stories, but this strange phenomenon I've been warned about is now starting to happen to me. Apparently, the new hair that grows back after chemotherapy can take on the opposite texture of the hair before chemo. So for the first time in my life, my hair is growing in curly. I always thought it would be nice to have curly hair, but now that I'm living with it, I've decided I much prefer it straight. It's really hard to style short, curly hair into a cute but edgy 'do. Rather than cool and hip, my curls make me feel matronly and frumpy. Ugh...

I've been told that chemo curls are usually a temporary thing, and my hair should go back to being straight in about a year or so. Maybe all the grey will go away, too!
