I have just started chemo and will be on it for six months. I have been told the chemo I will be on that my hair won't fall out but may get thinner. I have been putting in hair dye for over 30 years in my hair now and go grey very quickly. Is there anything I can use in my hair to keep the colour safe and try and hide some of the greys or do I need to wait until after I have finished my treatment before even thinking about colouring my hair.

    Hi When I was on chemo I was told not to use hair dye. I wanted to die it pink to support my friend who was running in the Race for life on my behalf. I seem to recall they said to avoid for 6 months but might be wrong. Have a chat with your chemo nurses.

    Hugs, B xx

  • I was told no chemicals, I even had to use baby shampoo 

    maybe experiment with wigs and hair ,pieces
