I colored my hair about 4 months after my last Taxol. It was still "art gallery owner" short. It was almost completely grey even though before bc it was a mix of brown and grey. I dyed it light natural brown and I haven't looked back since.

I also felt chemo/herceptin puts more lines on the face. I used a good moisturizer now and ROC deep wrinkle formula at night. I really do think it helps. I also am a makeup freak. Sheila can tell you this as she was my roommate at San Antonio last year (I have every color of eyeshadow and eyeliner created). I swear by it and I don't care. I am not an all natural girl except for what I put in my body. But the outside's fair game. Get the hair dyed. Moisturize and get a make over (they will help you with the skin care too - ROC has retinol in it and its really supposed to help with the wrinkles). You deserve to be pampered this way. If you can get the best friend/sister/daughter to make over with you, it can be a real party.

Love, Becky (whose hair isn't really this color)
