Re: Dying your hair after chemo

I finished chemo March 17 and had stopped wearing my wig by Memorial day weekend, although extremely short I could not take the wig any longer. My husband shaved his hair even shorter so that I would look like the wife now. (Just a little joke between us). It was very mousey gray and I called my beautician and she said we can color it so I had it colored and it turned out great. It has now been colored 3 times and is not damaged at all. I had super curly hair before and it is super curly again. It made me feel better too just knowing that the gray was gone. We did notice on my last color that the roots are not as gray all over and it is going back to my natural color. Hooray. Now if it would just grow alittle faster please. I say go for it.
