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?

My cousins a hairdresser so I may ask her..however I can't use the sink to wash out...so I may enlist the help of my DH....who knows how that will turn out???? I figure he deserves it if he wants to make the grey hair comments!!!!!

u r welcome...it may be best to ask someone to do it for u....I could not do it , but I think my scar is much bigger than urs.....and u may not have a problem...my DH also bought a temp dye so it was not as strong...and it has lasted quite a while...I had a few places it did not cover completely, but I did look better...lol....

That's sort of what I'm thinking...maybe just dye the rest and cover the incision for now...I have to do something or I will need a paper bag lol

I knew I read the time line somewhere but I couldn't remember what it was or where I read it! Thanks!

Hi Carolyn...I was told 6 months.....I know very hard...so I had DD only do teh roots on top and kept it all away from my scar....that was at 4.5 months I believe...and then again at 6 months  I had it done and really need it again...my issue is my scar and the ooze I still get so I have a skunk line bcuz I do not let her color near the scar at all...and I hang over the tub to keep it from running in there.....

But that is what my NS had on a paper I got when I left the hospital...6 months.....I know not easy : P
