FULL hair growth timeline from bald to a bob! (With pictures!) | Life After Cancer
Today's video is one that I remember searching for when I began my hair growth journey - it is a full timeline of my hair growth (with lots of pictures)!
Hair growth is a PROCESS and requires a lot of patience. My one and only tip for giving yourself a sense that your hair is growing is to TAKE LOTS OF PROGRESS PICS!!
I also have a highlight dedicated to my hair growth with month-to-month hair progress pictures @magsbujalski !

I styled my hair in this video using a Dyson Airwrap. Is it worth it for short hair? Here is my review kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5zLmWeiha-jpK8

[@agds91078]

I’m as bald as a plucked chicken from chemo and you have me sooooo excited for my hair to grow back 🥰 it seems like it’s going to take forever 🥺

Thank you for this video! I just shaved my head a week ago for charity and I’m doing the same as you did, looking through everyone’s progress videos to give myself hope 🥰 I like the amount of detail you go into!

[@peytonrogers2776]

Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you. Right now it’s been three months since I finished chemotherapy, and this is the first time I’ve watched a hair video. I loved having my bald head, and I have had short hair before so I didn’t think growing out my hair would be difficult. NOT the case. I feel more insecure now than ever, because now my hair is thick enough that it’s not obvious that I had cancer and I just have to live with people perceiving me as I am. You looking so beautiful at every step has given me so much hope. Thank you ❤️

I finally have hair growth. It seems to take forever though. You really learn a lot about people during this process!" So cruel and thoughtless. I couldn't help it that I was I'll but some people don't have any compassion or common sense. Young lady, you are an inspiration. God bless you and please don't let anyone put you down, you're a lovely young lady?"

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I’m currently in Month 8 of my hair growth journey since shaving it 👩🏼‍🦲 currently a little over 6” 😬 I liked when my hair was in the freshly shaved phase and my current phase onward. Month 4-6 was a bit of the awkward hair stage for me. I bought wigs but ended up just sticking with beanies for the most part.

I am so so happy for your success in beating cancer and also feeling like yourself again! You look beautiful!😊❤

[@cozyhobbies_]

Thank you. I'm bald because I shaved my head. I have trichotillomania a body focused repetitive behaviour of pulling my hair and lashes and brows etc. I pull so much daily so I shaved my head last September. But I keep pulling it and I've shaved like 3 times since. I wear a wig daily but it's so itchy and makes me pull more. I have hair envy and realy want my hair back. Shaved was nice at first and I felt cool but it's actually more tiring because I have way lower confidence and look like a boy if I don't wear make up. I keep getting worried when I see the baby hairs I was worried I had ruined my hair texture but your video realy helps and relieves me because you discuss the baby hairs. Thank you x x x

[@pigiuri]

Thank you so much ♥️ My hair start growing six months ago, but now I'm curly! Super curl and I have so much hair! I really don't know how to manage them...sooo messy! I try to love them, I try to love myself, but, you know, isn't so simple. I did a pixie, one month ago, and I don't now...I even try some extension but it was so uncomfortable. I think I will ignore my hair, much as possible for re several months, hopefully, they will grow out in a manageable way....hug you from Italy 💚

[@lameeshaq1707]

Omg mine too! My hair started growing our like 5 months ago, and they're soooo curly! (mine was always very straight). But now they're soo unmanageable! Idk what to do with them Edit. What's the update on your hair now? Because I could really use some assurance.

[@pigiuri]

@@lameeshaq1707 hi! My hair now are 15 cm long, after a year and a half that the start growing. I've cut it only one time and only in the blackhead. The hair are curly, like they was before but less strong and more fine. The colour is the same as before, but not in the end, where I have a lighter colour. Now I can manage them, more or less.. maybe in a couple of months I can do the first ponytail 🤞🏻

[@MarieNorris-cq6mq]

I crochet ear warmers to help hide bald spots. Im 72 years old and live where you can not wigs so you do the best you can and ignore people who stare and make fun of your hair

[@JodiW]

Great content as usual! I am headed towards a bob as well! What I did is shaved the underneath layers while I grow the top out. It enabled me to get it into a pony a little sooner and braids as well. I can now leave the mass of it in a bob with the top braided or clipped back etc. I have a long ways to go with my bangs:( I am staying the course! Thanks for the encouragement!

[@MagsBujalski]

Ouuu that is a smart idea! I will definitely remember this tip to suggest to others if they ask! And yes..... the shortest layer is always the biggest pain in the butt😅

Just seeing this, but yes!! I'm from Winnipeg :) ❤️

[@LilkaLilyok]

Thanks for the video 😊 I'm now 3 weeks post chemo, hair started growing back around a month before finishing the treatment. However, it grows unevenly, the scalp is covered in the back, but still little growth on the top. I was wondering if you have encountered uneven growth?

[@MagsBujalski]

Yes I did! So naturally your hair typically grows at the same rate on your head, but of course, that means it will look uneven (the hair at the bottom will eventually start looking like a mullet while the hair on the top catches up hahaha) so I had to regularly cut the hair at the bottom

[@Denny-up3pi]

Did you do any treatment for hairgrowth? Also lost many hair after being sick and growing is really slow proccess…. I used to love my hair before😔

[@MagsBujalski]

Yes! I have a full playlist all about hair growth - there are quite a few videos where I talk about different products and techniques I did throughout different stages of my hair growth :) kzbin.info/aero/PLrVQNfWG0XE9VoK3zV-T0Evw_Ul_9jdEB

[@17JessicaMarie]

This is what I’m looking for and my hair is in rough shape/ not sure if I should shave it and re do it or … What would I say to a hairdresser to have (your end result in the video) I want to likewise keep my healthy blonde length and let my natural darker roots grow out while maintaining blonde so it’s blended better- is it highlights or bay balayage? I’ve been bleaching my own hair (whole heas) for 17 years - and it’s getting tiresome to maintain

[@MagsBujalski]

Depending on what length your hair is now, I would recommend the goal of cutting off any really dry hair and trying your best to grow it out healthy. I do highlights to blend my hair because I like lightening up my roots a little while still having a nice blend!

[@alphamorton927]

Oh did you ever get the layers trimmed or shaped? Or did you leave them??

[@MagsBujalski]

I left the layers!

[@sarahgreening9286]

Hi how many times did you wash your hair weekly when growing. My hair is crazy in the morning I always need to wash I’m on my second month of growing.
