Regular Member jnel24 Posted August 4, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted August 4, 2004 Just wondering when is it safe to color or bleach the hair after a ht. I am medium brown. Not sure if it would look better darker or lighter. Any suggestions? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member baldcasanova Posted August 4, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted August 4, 2004 i'd personally say no if the remaining hair is thinning. I dyed my hair and it completely fell out in the crown where it was the weakest. Not sure if its going to grow back. I never should have did that..... but if your remaining hair is still strong perhaps it can withstand the shock of the chemicals.

Guest Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 baldcasanova, bring's up somthing I have alway's wondered about, and would like to know if it is true or false. Does coloring/bleaching do harm? Now I know a bad dye,color or bleach job with the chemicals used wrong can hurt your hair/scalp. What I want to know is, even if done right, is coloring or bleaching still doing harm to your hair/scalp ? Joetronic and Futzy, if you two read this, chim in, I think you have both done this of late. How do you like it ? Will you keep doing it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Robert_ Posted August 5, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted August 5, 2004 Although I cannot say for sure whether or not bleaching/dying/coloring the hair will do it harm, I do know that a lighter color (for Caucasians) will subtle the contrast between the light scalp and dark hair for those who have brown and black hair. Streaking is also used by many men and women as well as "layering" the hair to give it depth. -Robert As forum moderator and a Patient Advocate for the Coalition I'm available to answer any questions.

Senior Member baldcasanova Posted August 5, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted August 5, 2004 I'd agree with these comments from others. Perhaps my hair was just too weak to withstand it. ____________________________ 630 FUT - 8/27/03 2200 FUT - 5/20/05 2000 FUT - 12/15/07 "i haven't been this bald since.... well... since I was born!"
