6 Months of Post Chemo Hair Growth!

[@kaitlyngracevinod4914]

I'm in 4th stage breast cancer. I just completed 3 chemo s. I have two daughters same as old as your two lovely kids🥰. I followed your tips before going to chemotherapy and it worked. I'm strong. You are my inspiration. This month I have got to ultrasound scan for my overian. Doctor said cancer has spread from breast to overy. I'm bit tensed. Please pray for me 🙏

[@MarinaBlackford]

Many prayers for you my friend! I pray you heal and can cherish little moments in each day. Be well.

2023 and still watching this :) You are beautiful! I’m a cancer patient too, i’ve done chemo and radiation but sad that my hair didn’t grow back to normal. :( I’ve been watching your vlogs since i was diagnosed with breast cancer.

[@MarinaBlackford]

Hi! Thank you for watching! I hope your hair keeps growing! Massage your scalp!

Very amazing. Mine started growing back after 4 months and I’ve kept hope since.

[@makiarestorationtarot5314]

Well thank you so much for posting these inspirational videos I've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm getting ready to start chemo.. I am terrified but have to watching your videos I know that there is hope...😆

There is hope! ❤️

Morning. I live in the UK. I am 55 years old. Newly diagnosed in May 2033 breast cancer. Grade 3. Started chemo 2 weeks ago. I am so greatful to you sharing your journey. You are so beautiful. I am of black Caribbean heritage so aware our hair grows slower. I will deal witj this. I'm more bothered about my eyebrows. I noticed your before and after pictures and can see you lost yours. They seemed to have grown back lovely and healthy. Did you use any facial products to promote this? I do feel that naturally you have a strong dark hair type. Again thank you. I'm fully subscribed ❤

[@MarinaBlackford]

Hi! Welcome! I pray your hair all grows back well. My eyebrows grew back well after chemo. It took a full 6 months. I tint the hairs and now I have a tattoo makeup done on my eyebrows. I love it and wanted them to look full again.

[@sarahollar6493]

Thank you! It's just nice to know what to expect as much as you can on this stupid journey. I have my last chemo treatment in 3 weeks and I'M SO EXCITED! Thank you for going ahead and sharing your journey. :)

[@MarinaBlackford]

Thank you for watching! I’m so excited for you too! Here’s to your last chemo soon!

Marina I have been waiting for this video. Thank you so much for sharing! 💪🏻💕 Mine is growing in curly frizzy mess…. Going to try all your suggestions. Wish me luck 🤣💪🏻💕 You and your babies are adorable. Want you to know that u r an inspiration to us first timers… your personality is inspiring and much appreciated!!

[@NYArts88]

I have breast cancer stage 4. Completed chemo in 2014-15. Surgery radiation all done. Taking hormonal treatment I didn’t get my nice eyebrows back. Also hair volume less. Forehead big compared to before. Any tips if you know? Started to use Rosemary oil. Thanks in advance.

[@MarinaBlackford]

Hi! I would ask your doctors if they have any advice. Taking collagen peptides can help with hair, skin and nail growth, but you want to make sure that that’s OK per your doctor. Otherwise, there are some really beautiful wigs online if that is a route you want to go as well. I use this lash serum to help my lashes grow and it works. I hear you can try it on your eyebrows too. amzn.to/3Zc8e9G

[@NYArts88]

@@MarinaBlackford thanks for sharing. I will ask my doctor. Serum so expensive. Any other option for eyebrows ? Please don’t mind.

[@jlechera]

your hair grew fast god bless 😘

I’m grateful! Thank you!

I have so many chemo curls. Getting ready to have my 1st hair trim. Been 5 months since last chemo treatment! I heard you can cut out your chemo curls. Not sure if true but hope so!

[@MarinaBlackford]

I don’t know about cutting out the chemo curls. I do know it requires some effort to get a haircut and style it. Let me know how it goes for you Pamela.

[@ilianadiaz8039]

Thank you, great video!

[@MarinaBlackford]

Thank you!

[@loubnasenhaj4279]

Hi thks for this video really help me :) And about eyelashes? When did they really grow and you found more mass?

[@MarinaBlackford]

Hi, I’m so glad I could help you. Eyelashes tend to grow in a cycle after chemo. They came in and then they fell out again and then they started coming in about 2 to 3 months after chemo was done for me.

[@pam164]

Your hair is lovely and dark.

[@chuckee1104]

Hi Marina, do you have any info on the cold cap that’s used to protect your hair? Was wondering how it works and whether it’s worth it or not.

[@MarinaBlackford]

Hi! My cancer center offered Paxman. Check out coldcap.com and ask your cancer center about their options. The cost was about $1500 I think for 4 months. I tried on the cap and learned about the process which involves wearing it for 30 min before and I think 60-90 minutes after Chemo is done. The cap must fit very tight to work. I think it’s a great option if you want to try to save your hair. You will still lose about 30% of your hair. You can always start with their product and stop doing it if you don’t like it. You only pay for sessions you use it. It comes down to whether it’s worth for you to try it or not. It wasn’t for me but I have a really small head and tried on the cap and I did not want to sit for 4-5 hours with it on.

[@sumakiran3751]

Also for TNBC EC with Taxol does Scalp cooling helps..in restoring atleast 70% of the hair

[@MarinaBlackford]

@@sumakiran3751 hi! Thank you for asking! Yes, scalp cooling can save most of the hair. I did not choose to do this. I wasn’t excited about the process of sitting in the chemo chair longer but I hear good things if the money and time are worth it to you. Also, I don’t think there is a significant risk of cancer cells near your head so you should be safe to try it if your oncologist says so.

Hi, did you do a head shave after chemo?

[@MarinaBlackford]

Hi! Yes I did shave my head about 2 weeks after starting chemo. My hair started to fall out more and more so I decided to shave it.

[@AparajeetaGuha]

Did you cut your hair in between?

[@MarinaBlackford]

Yes, I would often do a haircut/trim to even out my hair and style it.

[@AparajeetaGuha]
