Hi Rinaina

I colored mine about four months after chemo as it was very grey,Ilooked about 70 instead of 47!
I had no ill effects from it and once I had my first cut it really grew faster and softer,and happily some of the curls went too!
Some people say you should wait a lot longer but Dr Susan Love says she thinks it okay to go ahead too so I went for it!!
