Or a lack of coloring. Avoiding color chemicals may be a part of her treatment as her immune system needs to concentrate on the cancer and just let her scalp do its thing.

That her hair was a deep dark brown or black at 57 may indicate a really good colorist matching that color to her skin tone.

Does chemotherapy turn hair gray like that?

She probably stopped coloring her hair because she's being treated for frickING CANCER.

ETA: And her hair is obviously short, so it probably fell out and is growing back in. But please, let's worry about the color.

Um, she's also a fricking movie star and could have her hair done like that for a role she's filming

She's still holding up well. Her face is a little thin but not emaciated. She put on some normal clothes and a pair of earrings, which is more effort than a lot of people in good health make. If she beats this, a year from now you'll see her looking pretty much like she always has.

Nice post.

a silver fox. i like it.

It does all sorts of stuff to hair. My sister always had straight blonde hair. So light it almost looked white. It all fell out and grew back in curly and dark brown. Eventually it got long enough to not curl and has lightened up almost to the color before.

My wife’s aunt was always a redhead. Hers is coming back curly and silver.

I’m just glad she didn’t dye.

Depending on the drug used, the hair may or may not fall out. If it does, it usually grows back different. I work with a lady who did not have cancer and her hair went totally gray in a couple of years. So, it could be either situation.

First it falls out but when it grows back it grows back Gray because she's 57 years old and she can't use hair dye
