Emma Watsons doppelganger! Congrats on your recovery, your hair looks great!

[@LaurenMae16]

Thank you so much!!

[@oceanzennfamxo833]

Yes

[@emma6366]

I came to say that

[@nusrat083]

Lol. I was thinking that too. But she is prettier than Emma, especially the eyes.

[@salvolondon]

@@nusrat083 I agree

[@paula5702]

Girl, I am so proud of you. I am 55 years old and battling breast cancer and hope to be as brave as you! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@LaurenMae16]

Thank you so much!!

[@Canuckchick32]

❤🙏

[@Britti_Kitti]

This is really cool! I'm currently halfway through my chemo and I'm hoping to be cancer-free by this Christmas. I feel really odd because I'm 23 and I don't know a lot of young people battling the same cancer as me, so it's really nice having videos like these to give me hope! Thank you for posting!

[@LaurenMae16]

I'm so glad you came across this video! It can feel like no one else our age is going through it, so I hope this video helped you feel less alone

[@zainabamer8658]

What a great powerful journey! I'm 8 months post chemotherapy and this video gave me hope about the situation 😅❤

[@LaurenMae16]

I’m so glad this was helpful! ❤️

[@boundlessintrepiddiscovery7242]

Same!

[@kittykitty8895]

Happy to see this is a perfect place to be , motivation, double mastectomy, 2 days later a port . First day of chemo college, y’all gotta send so prayer , our hope I don’t get kicked out , for playing jokes on the nurse, Merry Christmas y’all

[@Colonies_Dev]

im so fking heartbroken by all this

[@jessicabugajski9504]

This is such an encouraging video! I'm 4 months post chemo and this helps to know what to expect! Great testimony to see all that you have overcome!

[@shinypearl7745]

im 4 months post chemo too!

[@shaimaasamir1941]

I just wanted you to know that I watch this video everyday before I sleep to keep my spirit up, also I’m a lymphoma survivor too and it has been one month since I stopped chemo

[@andreamackay7434]

Thank you for sharing your hair loss to glamour hair growth, it was so good to know how long it was going to take for me to get my hair back to normal..... mine started to grow back I’d say about a couple of weeks after I stopped chemo treatment in March, so it’s only been two months for me and it’s still really short I can’t wait for my first hair cut 😊

[@dbess7626]

Thanks for the eyebrow and eyelash mentions!! That all happened to me too but I didn’t know it was normal. My curl situation is similar to yours so thanks for the great time lapse pics. I am trying to remain calm and have patience. I hope you stay healthy!😊❤😘

[@meeher8184]

I’m so happy that you doing this video, it was so hard to find something people talk about hair regrow after chemo. Your video is so helpful and amazing. I will be having chemo soon and this video help me understand how much time my hair will grow back after chemo. I want to thank you for sharing your experience with us all. God blessed you.

[@LaurenMae16]

So glad this was helpful! 💕

[@KFlan-p4l]

Thank you so much for posting these. I just finished chemo and this helps to see your progress. I appreciate it.

[@LaurenMae16]

Of course!!

[@erikmichael3493]

I hope you're fully recovered from cancer. You inspire other girls out there to be brave and stay beautiful.

[@LaurenMae16]

I'm 2 years in remission! Thank you so much 💛

[@rochoa725]

45 year old woman with the same concerns. LOVED YOUR VIDEO. Thank you. I have one last round of chemo on July 29th - but my hair is already growing, patchy - but growing. THANK YOU for the info. YOU ARE AWESOME.

[@LaurenMae16]

Sooo so glad this was helpful!!!

[@LucyintheSky010]

I am so glad you mentioned the eyelash thing! I am 5 months out from chemo and my eyebrows and lashes started shedding and I am feeling so discouraged about it. I also had THE fuzziest face when my hair started growing in so funny!

[@tagates001]

Thank you, my hair just started falling out yesterday and it’s devastating to see. My cousin is going to cut it off for me so that huge clumps coming out don’t get me super depressed 😔 i’m very glad you posted this timeline video and the stages. Also happy to see you doing well.

[@LaurenMae16]

Thank you!! So glad you found this helpful!

[@janef1220]

Thank you. You’re the first person that mentioned the hair on the face. Glad to know it eventually goes away. Congratulations warrior!

[@LaurenMae16]

You are so welcome!

[@sarawheat7704]

I am 2 mo post chemo and this video has made me so excited to see the different stages of my hair growing back. I was starting to feel self conscious of the over grown pixie look but after seeing how you didn’t trim the back of your neck, now I have more confidence that mine looks ok too. And wow 15 months isn’t a bad amount of time to wait for normal hair again. I can handle that! Thank you for posting this.

[@LaurenMae16]

SO glad this video helped you out!!

[@cecicallejas6429]

Me too 2 months post chemo it’s so hard to wait for longer hair

[@maurahamel6000]

Thank you SO much for this video!! I keep coming back to it and rewatching it. I'm almost a year (11 months) post chemo, but I keep feeling like my hair should be longer and the growth process is taking forever. Seeing your progress video is such a helpful reminder that I will get there at some point! I was wondering if you have any specific products you recommend during the growth process? Thank you so much, and I'm so glad you are happy and healthy!!

[@jensavage9102]

Thank you for sharing and mentioning the facial peach fuzz. I finished my chemo last July and I have a blonde peach fuzz beard. I did even think it might be related to treatment.

[@mikegrazick1795]

That buzz cut fade, super cute! So glad you are doing well. That face 😍!

[@abbyhonacki3972]

i just finished chemo dec 6th and i’m so excited for it to start growing back

[@jazmilktea]

ahhh thanks for posting this!! so happy for you

[@LaurenMae16]

[@HARRYTHEHORSEful]

You look great! I’m just starting my hair growth after chemo can’t wait to have hair again it’s hard waiting! Thankyou for the video 😊

[@LaurenMae16]

Thank you so much!!

[@melaniechowdhury4379]

I had the peach fuzz too! Thanks so much for mentioning this, it makes me feel much better that this is ‘normal’ post chemo ❤

[@tessaflanagan]

Many thanks for letting me know what to expect. It is really heartening. Kudos for your advocacy and using your challenges to help others!

[@LaurenMae16]

So glad this helped!!

[@angelanovillia442]

Thankyou for your brave to sharing your hair journey. I lost my hair every second bcoz of the chemo and it makes me broken heart.. but thanks God for everything

[@SilverSixpence888]

I hope you are doing well. You looked beautiful at every stage of your hair journey!

[@LaurenMae16]

Thank you, doing very well!

[@vikkifortuna6671]

Finally a video, so I know what to expect. I'm 3 months post chemo. I was dreading the chemo curls, thinking I would look like a poodle. But yours looked beautiful. So you gave me hope. Thank you

[@kirankhindri3455]

You look beautiful. I thank you for sharing your video, I have completed my chemo just a little over 2 months and excited for the regrowth. Your video is such an inspiration. ❤🙏

[@LaurenMae16]

Thank you!! So glad this helped

[@Alfardh]

thanks for the video .. at least now I know what I'm going thru is normal .. I had knee length straight hair so you can imagine my non stop daily horror .. its been 8 months since my last chemo so I'm in the "wait don't do much phase or you'll regret it" I hate my chemo curls and can't accept my hair texture and condition yet .. but can't thank you enough for the video and the explanation .. glad you're healthy and back to normal .. thank you

[@mydoggie1103]

Awesome video! I went through your same experience, curly hair and all (my bald head was soooo painful I had to use an 'oncology' cream on my head. It was cool and refreshing, smelled like cucumbers). I really would have loved to keep the curly hair since I had always had stick straight hair. But, oh well. And btw, I am 82 years old now and so happy to have a full head of silver hair, no more dye for me! And I'm so glad the chemo and radiation worked - so far, I am cancer-free!!

[@LaurenMae16]

Congrats!! This is amazing to hear

[@janelleschlosser1490]

Wow. Is all!!! Girl, I'm so hopeful that I won't have to revisit chemo. My first round of treatments ended last week with me shaving my head after week 2 as well. I was losing globs of hair in the shower, so.... yea, why prolong the inevitable. I'm praying every day for good scans and success from my treatments. Going through chemo and radiation once is plenty enough for me... God bless, and thanks for your video! It's gonna help me cope with the awkward regrowth

[@parkerdeweese5514]

This is so helpful, I'm currently regrowing my hair for my wedding next December and this really helps my expectations!

[@LaurenMae16]

Aww that is so sweet!! So glad this was helpful!

[@TheColormebrightly]

Thanks for sharing this! I'm glad you mentioned the peach fuzz on your face, too, because I had that and I really couldn't remember it being like that before. I'm currently at the 5 month, pixy hairstyle phase and my hair looks exactly like yours in those photos! The back appears to have waves and the front/sides looks straight. I'm impatient but excited about the process, and also can't wait to braid again!

[@tashiwonder7565]

Your hair grew back nicely and look very healthy and you’re beautiful either way.

[@LaurenMae16]

Thank you so much!

[@danashafir]

I am currently 13 months post chemo and I'm taking your video to my hairdresser. I remember I watched this video 6 months ago and it gave me hope. So thank you

Thank you for sharing! Very helpful and appreciate your share. I lost all my hair and eyebrows along with lashes. So this was very helpful to view your time line. I am 5 months post chemo and very similar to your timeline. I too had tons of facial fuzz! Gone now from threading my face :) I wish you a blessed life and your spirit is wonderful!!!

[@LaurenMae16]

Of course, so glad this helped!

[@marswmnwhoever2188]

I am so proud of you what a strong young woman you are. Not sure I could of handled all that. I cut my hair really short as I had a bad haircut years ago. The jerk I was with constantly told me I was being spiteful and how ugly it was. I finally said one day" What if I had cancer and it all fell out, you would want to not be with me because Its ugly? I got rid of him. You are beautiful . I still got my short hair but am thinking of finally growimg it back out. Thank you fot sharing. Glad you are doing well. Keep on keepimg on

[@LaurenMae16]

Thank you!!

[@nishavalli1437]

You look beautiful at every stage. You are a beautiful person. I love the curls, they suit you so well. I think you should consider getting a perm now they've grown out.

[@Jenzaminx]

This video is so heartwarming, thank you so much for sharing! You're so strong and inspirational, and so beautiful xx

[@chchwoman9960]

I love the layered look that you called 'the mullet phase'. Very pretty about 10 to 11 months You look so healthy now👍

I was just diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday and they are talking about chemo and radiation. I love my hair, it's one thing that I don't want to lose. But, your video does make me feel a little better about the process. Congratulations on your recovery.❤️

Hello I just finished my treatment please look up Dr Joe Dispenza cancer testimony 🙏 the universe is beautiful and full of surprises......

[@LaurenMae16]

Thank you! So glad these videos are helpful!

[@beverlyfrederick6690]

I hoped to not lose my hair, but when it happened, I was not that upset, as I felt I had more worries than how I looked. Chemo and radiation side effects were very hard. One day at a time and the hair will grow back. God Bless All Going Through Cancer Treatment and Thank God too for the knowledge and improvements in treatments these days.

[@suprajata3874]

❤

[@leticiasierra3654]

thank you so much for your video, I wish I would have seen it earlier. It's been four months since I finished chemo, I can relate to your story so much, I actually lost the rest of muy eyebrows and lashes a month after finishing chemo, but suddenly everything started growing back. so much peach hair on my face I actually got scared I was going to start growing a beard hahaha.

[@sheetalchaturvedi4922]

Hey !! You looked beautiful even throughout your chemo... And this haircut is cool as well... I am also experiencing some peach fuzz on my face!!! I am glad to know that they go away gradually!!

Thank you!! 😊

I hope you're ok now. I can't say how it feels in that time period but god you're brave and beautiful. God bless you.

Hey Lauren, am going through the same phase, recovering from transplant, I so so miss my hair. Post transplant, like after four months I had shaved my peach fuzz to have a thick and strong growth. Now I am in my third month of growing. Can’t wait to feel my hair slide through my fingers again 😊. Really happy to see your progress and much love to you ❤

You look awesome! I have her2+and ER + so had neoadjuvant chemo and now have Herceptin/perjeta and tamoxifen. My hair did start coming back 2 months after the end of hard chemo, but it is super straight and sticks up everywhere. It is only an inch long. I can't wait to get past the hedgehog look. I didn't get chemo curls sadly.

[@Tinaslilies]

Thank you so much for sharing this video of your hair growth journey. I just completed my chemo treatments this past Saturday morning, and your detailed timeline of your hair regrowth really gives me a great possible timeline of what to expect regrowing my own hair again. I already have a little fuzz. I’m so excited!! This really helps! I do have a question for you, did you use anything on your head for regrowth like rosemary water, or monoxidil to help attempt speed it the regrowth up? Thank you so much for your time! 💛

[@LaurenMae16]

Of course, I'm so glad this video was helpful! I tried tea tree oil on my head, a biotin and collagen shampoo & conditioner, and collagen powder. I liked the collagen powder the most, everything else I wasn't sure how effective it was.

Thank you for this video 🥰, very helpful as your journey is very simelar to mine, but I am only 1 month post chemo and would like all my hair back yesterday! I shaved off the first baby floof that came after shifting from Ec90 to Taxol, and now a more stiff hair is comeing out. Eyebrows gone after chemo, and yes, that long facial hair is a thing 🥴 I have not lost my lashes, but they are super short and has a very light colour, so they don’t show. I am going to a confirmation in the beginning of May, and I can only hope I have as much hair as you did 5 months post. And hopefully i can have some of those lovely curls too 🤩

[@ZuliaConde]

I had my last chemo on December 2022 and waiting for my doctor to determine if I'll need radiotherapy, and my hair is growing again, I used to be very hairy on my face (PCOS/hirsutism) I did laser hair removal on my face months before I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and boom hair starts growing and also my facial Hair but it's like a lot of super long peach fuzz, and also some dark hairs around the chin area, I'm right now at the buzz cut phase and waiting for my beautiful curly hair to grow back 💖

[@charlottephillips9254]

This was a big help, I had gotten my head shaven for brain surgery this past August. And I been curious how long would it take to grow or if it will grow. The thickness is back lol. But the length is taking its time big time. I admit I'm impatient but i was cutoffs for others how they do it 😊😊

[@flavormaker]

Wow, this is exactly the same as my hair regrowth. My chemo ended Nov 2019 but I haven’t even gotten a trim yet. I really want to just be able to put my hair in a ponytail. I’m tired of having my hair in my face and eyes. Thanks for posting your story.
