Time to dye the hair??

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?

Carolyn

Well on guys it is called distinguished....on a woman it is called letting herself go ....and, I don't follow rules, per-say, but, I personally like the texture of my hair after it's been colored....

Sorry, I meant the hairdressing sink...you know the one where you have to bend your head back. I guess I could just tell her to let me bend over frontwards tho...good thought. The vaseline is a terrific idea and one I will definitely use!!! I was trying to brainstorm ideas for the just in case...

.....y can't u use the sink?...I found the kitchen sink the best place since having surgery to wash my hair...when I could not lift my arms to do it my self...DH washed it for me at the sink....one other thought...DH can be smart sometimes..he suggested vaseline over the scar to keep the dye off it....
