My friend finished her chemo on 29th June.  She managed to retain about 50% of her hair through cold capping and her new hair is growing through..  She had a lumpectomy at the beginning of this month and radiotherapy will happen in about 4 weeks time.  She desperately wants to colour her hair but realises now is too soon and obviously doesn't want to risk damaging the new emerging hair.  She can't seem to get any conclusive guidance as to when she can safely colour her hair again.  Can anybody help please?  Thanking you in anticipation.
