Hello
I'm looking for some advice please. I'm currently undergoing chemotherapy and having Carboplatin (only this drug and no others). I've had three treatments so far and have three more to go.
I haven't had my hair highlighted since September 2021 due to my cancer diagnosis however I would be grateful to know when I would be able to get my hair highlighted again please if anybody knows?
I have not lost any of my hair with my Carboplatin chemo and nor has it thinned and wondered when I would be able to have it highlighted again. I discussed this with my hairdresser and she said she hears of 'wait 6 months after chemo to have your hair highlighted' but I'm not sure if that is for people who have lost their hair? She did say if I were able to have it highlighted she would do a patch test first a couple of weeks earlier.
My hair is naturally light brown and I usually have it highlighted and of course would like to get it highlighted but if this would seriously damage my hair then I would wait however to date my hair does not seem to have been affected by my chemo so I'm sure if I'm being overly cautious? Or despite my hair not seemingly being affected by the chemo should I wait six months from my last chemo treatment?
Could anybody advise me please if I am able to have my hair highlighted approximately three weeks after my chemo finishes or have I got to wait much longer than this?
Thank you for any advice.
