Okay, so I've been here for years. A lot of you know me already (Hi I'm back!).
My hair has gotten longer finally after a long struggle dealing with it. Short version of the backstory, I had hypothyroidism and eventually was diagnosed with thyroid cancer so I lost all my hair. It was always fine and mostly straight. It's gotten longer now since I've been growing it from nothing. I use a combination of henna/indigo and a demi-permanent chemical color in blue-black to get my color. The henndigo alone doesn't make it cool blue enough. Here are some old pics of my hair at various lengths before I lost all of my hair, it was thin but I had some and it was straight.
Longest I ever had it, around 16. With henna.

Much shorter, still a weak henna mix around 18-ish.

Air dried, 19 and either henna or faded manic panic.

Now today, almost 22 after I lost all my hair from radiation/thyroid problems and had shaved my head. It's much thicker now too. What happened?!?
Here air dried with a wee bit of gel.

Here I scrunched it with gel/curling cream and used a diffuser on low heat.

Can I call this 2b/2c? I don't have a full on ringlet pattern all the time but I do have a definite wave and some ringlets here and there. I've been using Deva Curl No Poo, Heaven in Hair deep conditioner, and their spray gel/curling cream. All sulfate/paraben/silicone-free. I'm a stylist so I get a discount ^.^
I've heard that going through cancer treatment can change your hairtype, anyone else have stories for me or did my hair just decide to be crazy one day? Either way I like it, I always wanted wurly hair :cloud9:
