Need too highlight my hair

[Foranewme 46]

How long did you wait? I am 3 1/2 weeks out. And why do they tell you too wait?

[douchewafflebear 160]

because they are mean and don’t want you to look or feel your best.

no, because your hair is like your nails and what you do on the inside now takes a little while to grow out - in a few weeks your hair will be vulnerable and you increase that vulnerability by doing coloring etc which can be harsh...

just relax and enjoy the process - you have a lifetime (probably LONGER now too) to get pretty.

I have been getting my hair colored and highlighted with no problems. A good friend is my hairdresser and she is aware I had surgery. The have gentle products they can use on hair. I figure if my hair gets yucky looking I will cut it short and start the growing process over.. After all it is just hair. I have gray so I will continue to color my hair.

I had mine colored and highlighted at 3 1/2 weeks with no problems, was never told to wait. Doesn't seem to be a problem.

Thanks... I am going thru a down moment right now. So I thought maybe if I could gets my hair done I would feel a little better.

I'm a hairstylist, and I've done plenty of clients that have had surgery with no issues, as well as my own. We might lose some a few months after surgery but that's due to what's going on inside your body. Your hair is dead when it leaves the scalp, so it won't be affected by what's going on due to surgery. Losing hair from surgery and losing hair due to breakage are 2 completely different things. Go ahead and get the highlights.

I am not a hairstylist or pretend to be one - I am however a girl who did her hair allot - with and without gentle stuff - and KNOW that I do as little right now as possible to make sure the hair I do have is in the healthiest shape possible - i’ve had Hair loss from highlights and without highlights -

everyone is different and comes with different knowlege - shit - some people are eating big macs and I can’t for the life of me find that on any list - so do what you think is best for you.

IMHO.

I was never told not to dye my hair. I did at about 4 weeks and three times since surgery. So far so good.

BTW, My dr told me about a guy who was pureeing Big Macs. gag

That's up there with the chewing and spitting thing...that just grosses me out!!!! Perhaps we can come up with a Big Mac flavored Protein bullet .

The thought of that makes me gag too. But hey you know someone would buy it.

Nasty, but yes, someone would! They make jelly Beans that taste like farts and skunk, we can do exotic Protein flavors!
