Re: Hair Dye post chemo
Heck, I've colored my hair about 20 times since chemo. My husband liked the blond. The biggest problem was the new hair was very delicate. So if you use a box color - well, my hairstylist told me not to leave it on for more than 15 minutes because my new hair was getting fried.
It has been 2 1/2 years post chemo. My hair is still thin & sparse, but improving slightly. I tried to used Nioxin shampoo & conditioner daily. My periods came back. So now I use it twice a week, hair slightly thicker without side effects.
I tried the natural hair colors - but didn't like as well. Jackie - I don't do black,but sometimes medium to dark brown. Hopefully those aren't as bad.
Good luck and stay beautiful!
