Does anyone know about dying your hair pre-surgery? I really want to dye my hair and my surgery is next wednesday (1 week)!

I know that you can't dye your hair during the first trimester of pregnancy so I was just wandering about if it affects the band....

Thanks

Well I dyed my hair through all 3 pregnancies, there's no real consensus on whether you should or not. And I had a cut, colour and blow dry the day before surgery. There's no conceivable way a hair dye would affect surgery or your band.

I agree, I would think that it's safe to dye your hair. Just don't swallow any of it and you should be OK!

I colored my hair the week of my surgery. I think it is fine.

I used to be a hairdresser....go ahead and color your hair. You color the hair that is already grown...if there are any effects from medications it would affect what is under the skin. The only difference you could see is possibly needing some extra conditioning after the surgery.

Go ahead color away...make yourself feel fresh and new!! My daughter is a hairdresser and we completely redid my look. Went from mousy light brown to golden red with lighter highlights and a very cute sassy cut....gave me a whole new attitude...I felt so cute I could hardly stand me....lol!!!!

Girl you see my hair?? I color it every other week just about and i sure as heack didnt wanna have to woryy about it while recouping!

I did it the day before surgery!

Lots of old myths about haircolor...just myths!

<former hair dresser and instructor...and i say GO FOR IT!!!:clap2:

Nothing that I know of. You should be fine if you dye your hair pre surgery.

christy, how do you keep your hair from falling out coloring that much??

I'd love to color my hair like Pink's with the platnuim blonde with light pink in the back underpart of the hair just above the neck. I think that's HOT!

I colored mine the day before surgery. Go for it!

josette, (love your name btw thats my gmoms name! shes from france)

anyway whne you go to recolor only do the new growth until the rest is needing freshening...normally i dont do my entire head but every 6-8 weeks

and u can use glazing now thats available everywhere that will refreshen color in between treatments its awesome!:clap2:

Thanks everyone! I want to dye my hair back to brown and blonde.. Its all blonde right now... So I'm gonna get it done on friday- my surgery is next wednesday
