Regular Member jamesosterberg Posted July 20, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 20, 2023 I've read many different things when it's safe to dye your hair post fue from 4 weeks to three months. Once again i am curious what people recommend from there expeirences. My surgeon said 4 weeks. But i still like to hear other peoples opinions. thanks again, James O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted July 20, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted July 20, 2023 @jamesosterberg i don't think you should do it so early because scalp takes time to recover and there can be a chance of infection though if your your scalp healed up completely and your doctor told you that its fine than you should at least look at some natural hair dyes which are chemical and amonia free....

Senior Member TheGreatPretender Posted July 20, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2023 Depends on the clinic. I wouldn't use any products at such an early stage. My clinic at least tells us to refrain for at least 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jamesosterberg Posted July 21, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 21, 2023 Thank you for your answers. I will definitely hold out longer than 4 weeks. 3 months will be tough but I hope my vanity can make it that long. It's obviously worth it the long run. It's amazing how many simple questions i find myself having post fue and how difficult it is not to question each one. For example i would never go in the sun without wearing a hat. Even for a minute. But then i wonder is it safe to put sun screen on one's head - with a hat just to be extra safe. Since i play tennis. I actually would prefer to wear sunscreen under my hat. But i'm terrified of even doing that. Which sun screen? it never ends ..... thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some dyes contain peroxide which is also toxic on the scalp and hair. Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Regular Member jamesosterberg Posted July 23, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 23, 2023 So would you recommend waiting as long as 3 months? or do you think 6 weeks or 8 weeks is long enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SeanT1 Posted July 23, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted July 23, 2023 Let your scalp heal, hair dyes also have bleach in them which can burn your scalp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
