Body hair, other than on your head.

I'm not complaining about not having to shave a few spots, but I'm just curious about how long this will last before I have to start that back up again?

    I can't remember how long it took to get body hair back, but it has returned 3 times! Head hair would start growing right after it fell out.

    My leg hair and underarms never really grew back and it’s been 6 years. The eyelashes on one eye don’t match the other eye ( one grew fully back and the other is sparse) . My eyebrows were so sparse I got them microbladed.

    Underarms and arm hair hasn't grown back in five years, leg hair is very sparse. I don't miss it at all.

    14 yrs out no leg or underarm hair. The hair on my head never fell out just became very thin with an almost bald spot near crown. Looks awful. It did, however, turn white overnight.

    I know it took at least four months before I had to shave my legs after chemo ended.
