Jenna Fischer Debuts Bob as Post-Chemo Hair Milestone

She shared a month-by-month regrowth timeline to help others navigating recovery.

Overview

  • On Jan. 11, the 51-year-old posted an Instagram selfie revealing a chin-length bob she says she finally has enough hair to style.
  • The update comes about 18 months after she finished chemotherapy for stage 1 triple-positive breast cancer.
  • She detailed her regrowth: stubble at one month post-chemo, eyebrows and eyelashes by two months, a pixie at three months, and a bob around 1½ years.
  • Fischer credited hairstylist Christi Cagle for wigs, four custom hats with hair, her first pixie, and clip-in extensions, noting her hair returned thicker and more coarse.
  • Saying she is cancer-free, she urged followers to keep up with mammograms, colonoscopies and skin checks, as outlets note differing timelines for when she first disclosed her diagnosis.
