tamg26k 479 Posted November 29, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeagleLover 1,020 Posted March 2, 2015 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.

ireallywannabthin 286 Posted March 17, 2015 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
