Re: Dying your hair after chemo
I ended up doing the Henna yesterday and let's just say that I look like a punk rocker! The gray picked up the "tea" color and now I have weird patches of light rust/brown all over! Looks ridiculous so now it's back to the wig until I see a beautician. I have to say that instead of crying like I would've done before cancer, I just started laughing. I used to depend on my hair like a security blanket but now I realize that it's not that important to me as it was. I just do not sweat the small stuff anymore. Another great lesson I learned from this journey!
Thank you for all the posts, I enjoyed the feedback! I should've went to a salon before taking this on myself. Need to change my Avatar once my new hair color is in place
