My new hair is curly, too. My hair is normally stick straight, fine and light brown. I lost about three inches on the back of my head from ear to ear and it grew back darker brown, a little coarse and curly. I don't know about losing hair on the front of the neck. I'm a lady so I don't have hair on my chin (that I'll admit to).
