Hi. I just wondered when people died their hair for the first time following the end of cold capping/chemo? 

  • I haven't had chemo, am waiting for radiotherapy-but was at the hairdressers last week and she said that sometimes after cancer treatments, hair colours don't always take.  

    I get a wella semi permanent colour, and it is pretty gentle, free of amonia and lots of the nasty  chemicals ( altho no dye is completely natural) 

  • Hi Sparkle, I cant really remember when I first dyed my hair after chemo.  It was a bout an inch long and I used the colour from Holland and Barratt.

  • Ah that’s interesting thank you. 

  • Daughter was probably a year after hair first started growing back. She was keen to do it earlier but hairdresser said hair wasn't yet ready. I suppose it was about 3 or 4 inches long (it's very thick but slow growing) when hairdresser said it was fine. Daughter had it done in the salon, her hairdresser researched and found a suitable post-chemo brand. Very pleased with result. 

  • I lost about 40% of my hair (I cold capped)and various people said to wait 6 months - I have funny bits of regrowth under the hair i kept. I'm booked in in a couple of weeks and can not wait!!! X
