Dying hair after HT

[jerzig]

Hi everyone,

 

My hair is naturally dark brown but I've been dying it black for about ten years. I hadn't dyed it for about a month prior to my HT, and it's been a months since my procedure. So at this point I have crazy two-tone hair from my roots growing out.

 

Is it safe to dye my hair at this point? I don't want the chemicals messing with my grafts but my hair is starting to look ridiculous.

 

Thanks!

I believe my instructions from my doctor said wait 2 weeks.

As long as the dye does not contain any harmful ingredients like peroxide and your scalp is fully healed, it should not be an issue.

 

Did you ask your surgeon their opinion?

Well, all permanent dyes are pretty harsh. Checked my post-op instructions and it says four weeks. Guess I shoulda checked there first. Still a little wary of it, though.

I agree. And although the dyes which are not permanent do not last as long, they are much safer to use IMHO.

 

And it certainly cannot hurt to wait four weeks or so.
