Hi CJ62 I didn't dye my hair during treatment ( i was told not to )and I can't remember exact timescale but I finished treatment beginning nov 24 and I had it done (highlights) as soon as they could get me in after treatment which I think was before the end of the month. With regards to going back to work I think it was about 3 or 4 weeks after, I went back 5 days a week, i probably went back a bit soon but finances dictated. I would play it by ear if I was you and see how you feel, go back when you feel ready. Sending hugs. Xx
