Teddi Mellencamp Shares Hair Growth Journey Amid Cancer Battle Update

Teddi Mellencamp’s hair continues to grow longer each day.

Mellencamp, 44, showcased her progress—both inside and out—amid her ongoing battle with cancer in an Instagram post shared on Monday, September 22.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star styled her hair to one side in a recently posted selfie, highlighting her brunette roots paired with platinum blonde tips.

In the photo, the TV personality went without makeup, revealing her clear, hydrated skin. She completed her look with a combination of delicate hoop and stud earrings, and sported a cozy brown hoodie.

“Mondays, am I right?” Mellencamp wrote in her post. “Emotions are high. Sending love to everyone out there. If I haven’t replied to your text, I love you. I’m just navigating through.”

She added, “How is everyone doing? I’d love to hear one positive thing from your day. Mine is that I’m incredibly grateful for the people in my life. 💗.”

Her supporters responded with encouraging messages in the comments, complimenting her resilience. “A positive: you look beautiful with short hair ❤️🔥.” A second commenter noted, “Look at how much your hair is growing! 😍,” while another remarked, “Absolutely beautiful 💕.”

Mellencamp has been candid about her health journey since being diagnosed with stage II melanoma in October 2022. In February, she revealed that her diagnosis progressed to stage 4 melanoma, which had metastasized to her lungs and brain.

In March, she shared exclusively with Us Weekly that she was “over” her pixie cut. “But Cruz made it a little easier because he said, ‘Mom, we can get matching haircuts.’” (Mellencamp shares Cruz, 10, along with daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, 5, with her ex-husband Edwin Arroyave.)

She underwent brain surgery in February to remove tumors and is currently continuing immunotherapy.
