Re: Dying your hair after chemo
I finished chemo on March 17th of this year, and like you, my hair came in salt and pepper. If one more person told me I looked like Jamie Lee Curtis, I was going to scream! I was scared but I did it. I colored mine a light brown in July and the only thing that happened was that it turned out a little lighter than I hoped. At the end of August I colored it again, a dark brown color and I love it! Yesterday was my first day without my "barbie hair" and it feels amazing to not have to wear it anymore!
