Re: Dying your hair after chemo

Mine came in grey too and I dyed it light brown right away with Nutrisse "Acorn" 60 - Light Natural brown. I loved that color so much, I still use it as you can see in my avatar.

I had no funky problems the first time but I did have a haircut first to get the longish curls off the back
