A member asked:

After having chemo and radiation for breast cancer, would your hair come in different textures?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It is not uncommon for hair to regrow more curly and a different texture after chemotherapy. I have seen some pretty amazing changes. Nothing to worry about. Think of it as chance to be different.
