Need too highlight my hair



Recommended Posts

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.

xoxo

said with tough love.

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.

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

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
