ElaineCotten,
My hair came in curly. But, the longer it got, the less curly it became. However, my hair is about half the thickness as it was before lymphoma. My hair used to be super thick. I've been in remission for almost 4 yrs and it's below my shoulders. I've had it trimmed too many times throughout. After my hair started growing back I went without a hat when it looked like a super short pixie. I put on hoops and away I went. I got compliments on it! Kelly

Hair regrowth after lymphoma treatment depends on the type of treatment received. For chemotherapy, hair typically starts growing back relatively quickly once treatment ends.

With targeted drugs or immunotherapy, hair loss is less common, and regrowth is usually expected. If hair remains thin or doesn't return, consult your doctor.
