My oncologist said my hair should begin to grow back after I finish my chemo treatments. About how long until you noticed your hair growing again? Thanks!

I had 4 AC, two weeks apart, and 12 T, one week apart. My hair started to grow slightly shortly before finishing the Taxol. I am now 7 months out and my head is completely covered with hair, albeit only about 2 inches. I see that my hair is growing so much more slowly than before chemo, but happy to have hair. I still wear my wigs, but not so self-conscious without one. I just don't like the way I look with so-so short hair. My eyelashes and eyebrows are completely grown in. I don't see any hair regrowth under my arms and I only I have to shave my legs once weekly. Overall, very slow process with hair regrowth.
I'd say I noticed a real difference 8 weeks out.. I am now 12 weeks out and I'm starting to be able to comfortably go out without a scarf! A little bed head is amazing!
Mine started growing in after about a month and by 5 months I stopped wearing a wig. It came back curly and still white. It's a year now and gradually less curly, more wiry and thicker then it was before. I used rogaine and Routine hair products.
My hair has come in very straight, greyish white and wiry. Hair is also thin. Was told by my oncologist to try rogaine. Have to check out the biotin
I think it only took a couple of weeks to notice hair. But about 12 weeks before i needed a comb to brush and style it. But i liked it really short so i discarded the scarf at about 5 weeks
