HBO @ Noon: Growing Hair Back After Chemo

Sara Anderson/F-Words: I've resisted the temptation to bleg, because I know exactly how much traffic I get here, but hey, I need advice. My hair is currently two and a half inches long everywhere, and it's wavy if not curly. I have no idea what to do with it, but I'd like to someday have regular longish girl hair again (though it will be different, with the new texture). For now, I just smooth it down when it's wet, and treat the scar like a 1/4 inch-wide part.

Question: Anyone ever heard advice on growing your hair back after chemo or whatever?
