Time to dye the hair??

[*Stormy*]

Hi...I guess this is more of a girly question but I am wondering if anyone knows when it is safe to dye your hair after surgery. I am now 3 months post op and completely healed (no scabbing or fluid). I put off dying my hair well before surgery so I am in dire need!!! I didn't realize how much grey hair I actually have (as my DH liked to point out last night). So I am thinking it's time to get it done...

Anyone have any ideas?

I thought so too Carolyn...but it has slowed up, so I know the crazy amount was from the trauma itself...I know Hashi's is adding to the issue of losing hair...but I still have a thick head of hair regardless : )

Grey or brunette...it is still full : D

I just have to say GREAT POST!  I've wondered the same thing!  I'm 33 and it was bad enough to have the surgery but added pain to discover I HAVE GREY HAIR!!!  What the heck?????
I'm ready for hair to take a dip!  LOL

Yes Susan..there does seem to be a few more grey on my head too...maybe it's from the stress of it all!! I thought it was b/c of my extremely long wait to dye my hair but who knows? I think my hair is pretty much the same color at the back...it doesn't look any lighter.

Selma...I've had lots of hair loss for years but worse after giving birth and the surgery...it seems like it might be another gift from Hashi's...

Hi Susan...my grey hair is 10 fold what it was b4 too !!

I am not sure that the hair growing back is lighter...I can't see and no one else has mentioned it to me.

But I was also told that the excess hair loss after the surgery was from the trauma of the surgery...I thought it was my thyroid, but it has lightened up on what is falling out.....

I had to wait 6 months too.  I never wore a hat so much in my life.  I used to get highlights with the cap, but my NS said that it is too risky because of the metal pick the hairdresser uses, now I get foils.

Does anyone have this issue...the hair growing in around my scar line is about 3 shades lighter than the rest of my head?  and before my surgery I only had a few grey hair, now they're growing like crazy.
