Anyone ever heard of this happening after TKI reduction or cessation?

I know that Tasigna can be very bad on hair (lost hair and remaining hair turned my hair white and frizzy).
Since being on bosutinib, I have hair grow back and the hair on my head has regained its color and softness.

Other wacky hair tricks--I've been graying since my early 20s and am pretty fully gray, but the hair at my temples is growing back in *brown*. The re-pigmentation of hair is a known imatinib side effect, but it is the side effect that has freaked me out the most. Most expensive hair coloring EVER.
