It's now grown back (15-16 mos out of treatment) it's black and curly - I had extensions put in when it was Long enough (3mos after treatment) and had them removed finally in may my hair is a bob now - midway between my chin and shoulder - I've had it trimmed a few times too. If I were a man I'd just shave my head. It's very normal... Take care.
