Re: Dying your hair after chemo

My hair came in white also. I looked like a Q-Tip. My daughter is getting married October 22nd so I want a good hair color. My stylist told me not to use peroxide dye products just yet on the new hair. My hair is coming in thick and is about 1 inch long. She colored it with a non peroxide semi permanent glaze. The color and shine is great. The color was stronger at first, but now has faded a bit and looks really good. Prior to my daughters wedding October 22, I will go in for another glaze about 2 weeks before her wedding. This is a great solution.
