My hair sucks (trying to fix that, though I’m sorta having trouble having any hope).
I’ve found some head coverings that I like, silk scarves and stuff.
:/ sorry, I know how much it sucks, I hope your hair regrows quickly!
I hope so too, I looked up on Google and it said it usually grows back in 3 to 6 months of stopping treatment. I think that's just for it to grow back not be long, it'll probably be even longer before I have long hair again.
Yeah, I've been growing my hair out for over 2 years from a buzz, and it's still only shoulder length (~14"). Hair unfortunately takes a long time to grow back out, but I hope yours grows back as fast as it can ❤️
You probably already have soft hats but maybe a longer wrap like some religious women use to cover their hair would give you the drape to feel more like your long hair, while being softer than a wig base.
Some permanently bald people decorate their scalp with tattoos but you might want to try kids' washable markers just to see how you feel about drawing flowers or whatever before you go as far as a Sharpie, much less a tattoo.
