  • No. Gray hair is caused by children and husbands.

  • I don't get gray hair. I prefer to tell people I'm growing fiber optic cable!

    RED. Go RED. Actually more if a Strawberry Blonde. Or a really bright RED. Pink works too

I would like to know also was gonna get mine done today i am 3 and 1/2 months post op and the gray is really showing

Yolo

I was sleeved dec 10th, my hair is a little thinner, but I had to color my hair last week because the grey was so bad & I go back to work tomorrow. Looks great & no more shedding then I was doing already.

I have been coloring my hair every 4 weeks, since I was sleeved back in October -- I think the coloring helps camouflage the thinning.

I color mine still. I don't think it makes the shedding any worse than what it is already

I colored mine 6-8 weeks after surgery.

OTR... At some point, every person you have either provided sound info to, made laugh, or helped to pull back on track, should meet you somewhere in mid-America for a big bash! You're a hoot!

I dye mine red......as a warning. Lol!

Wait, am I missing something? Does vsg cause you to get grey hairs regardless of age?? Or are the greys unrelated to the surgery?

Grays are unrelated to surgery. I started going gray in my 20s. I dye mine auburn,goes well with my complexion and green eyes

I'm a hair stylist and typically, there aren't any medical procedures that would prevent you from coloring your hair (with the exception of chemo or radiation, because this makes your hair more fragile than anything else). So, with that being said, I plan to continue to color mine and I have many clients who have been sleeved and we were still coloring their hair at their regular times. Go for it!!

Completely unrelated to surgery. If you get grey hair after surgery, you were already going to get grey hair. Lol
