All about the silver lining. Alicia Witt is celebrating her hair growth after finishing up treatment amid her battle with breast cancer. 

“I don’t mean for this to be a vanity post! but – i do want to share because i know that there are a lot of you here who have gone through the same,” Witt, 47, wrote via Instagram on Monday, December 5. “And i’m honestly feeling pretty elated about the state of my hair right now.” 

The Hallmark actress, who recently underwent a round of chemotherapy followed by a unilateral mastectomy, shared that it was a “gift” to keep “enough to my hair to continue working through my treatments.” 

Crediting the “privilege” of continuing her work to Penguin Cold Caps, Witt also revealed that while “45% or so” of her hair “did fall out,” a variety of vegan hair thickening products helped her locks return looking better than ever. 

“I am Not being paid to share this – I don’t do paid posts, but I want to let you know I feel this works, and works big time and quickly,” she penned in her Monday post. “i believe this would help anyone who’s looking to thicken their hair – regardless of whether you’d gone thru chemo-related hair loss. sending you love!
