Coloring hair

[tamg26k 479]

I color my hair about once a month and have been doing it since surgery. The last time I colored it (about 2 weeks ago) I lost A LOT of hair. Luckily my hair is really think. Other than that, I haven't had any problems.

My hairdresser did my 2 color process last week at my 7 week mark. No problems. I am not having any hair loss before or after.

Hope this helps.

Question to all you ladies..... Is it ok to color my hair? I'm 2 1/2 months post op and my hair has become a little thinner just from more coming out and I need to cover up the grays.... Has anyone had any problems coloring there hair??? I don't do it myself and have a professional do it

I have dark brown hair with some gray and use henna. It's natural. It doesn't dry my hair out or cause it to break; it coats the hair. I get mine in an ethnic Indian store. It comes in two colors, red and black. I mix the (leaf) powder with coffee and a couple tablespoons of vinegar until it is the consistency of yogurt, then let it sit for around 8 hours. Waiting helps it turn into a gel so it stays in your hair when you apply it.

I put a foil cap to keep the heat in and leave it on my hair for 45 minutes, then rinse it out.

I do this once a month.

Thank you all for sharing your stories! I'm 6 days post op from lapband conversion to VSG and I remember how much hair I lost with the band and I didn't have my hair colored at the time. Now my hair is freshly highlighted and I've been very concerned about coloring it post-op.

Thanks again!

Hi, I am also a hairstylist and was wondering how long you took off from work and did you tell your coworkers/ clients?
