Can anyone tell me if hair bangs grow slower than the rest of the hair. My hair is growing back from chemo treatments and the bangs seem to grow slower than the rest. Is this normal?

I asked a woman I work with this question for you as she has just stopped wearing a wig and her hair is growing in nicely. She said that her hair has grown in much like a babies...where the top and back grew in quicker than the sides closest to her face and the front/bangs. Her hair used to be very straight and thick...it has come in very curly and fine (like babies hair).

She did say the bangs and the sides were the slowest growing...

I don't know if this is typical or not, but it's the info she shared

Hope you're doing well!!! Welcome to AnswerPool!!!

I'm glad your question was moved to this forum instead of where it was originally posted. I saw it yesterday and wanted to answer but only the moderator has access to the Information forum that you originally posted in.

Anyway, to answer your question, it is normal. For some reason, hair loss (due to drug interaction) that occurs around the hairline takes longer to grow back that hair loss at the crown of the head.

Or maybe it's just an illusion. There are less hair follicles at the hairline so because hair distribution is less in that area maybe it only appears that it is growing at a slower rate.

But have patience.

its a fact that your hair grows at the same rate and sligghtly faster in the warm. hair around the hair line may be damaged and thats why it stays shorter as it breaks off
