Hair dye after surgery ?

[Pooka 6]

I want to dye my hair since I noticed I started getting gray hairs (I'm 27)

I read somewhere about not dying hair for 1 year after surgery.

Any advice?

I'm 9 days post op.

Thank you [emoji1]

What? Oh man. I've already been to the salon and had highlights for summer. I'll let you know if I die [emoji23]
Hope this isn't true!

I have dyed my hair twice since surgery. I was not given any advice like this at all.

Thank you ladies, I just read somewhere online that some people lose a lot of hair due to change of diet so that hair dye might not really help.

in my pre-op classes they said that you will lose hair at around the 6 month mark (no matter what). They said its not enough that other people notice, but you will start noticing it in your brush and in your drain and they told us not to freak out. If you normally lose hair when you get it dyed, then it will cause more Hair loss than you otherwise would. However, they said by the 1 year mark you will be back to normal. I have super thin hair naturally, but I will be dying my hair before school starts because I figure I will lose what I will lose and having gray hair makes me self conscious.

If you want to dye your hair, do it.

I won't be planning to .. before I get into surgery I'm gonna dye it my natural color and just lots of treatment.

5 weeks and 2 days post-op and I'm getting highlights today. I'll let you know if it leads to any Hair loss or other stuff.
