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

LOL...ok kids it's 1:1...

Shannon...I have to ball up my hair and remove it every time I shower or I get the evil eye from my DH...b/c it's usually him that has to pull it all out when it clogs!! I agree..having grey hairs is a small price to pay :)

LOL Carolyn. I clog the drains too! Like to the point that i have to get the hair out after every shower i take! And i haven't had surgery yet. Guess its a good thing i have a lot of hair lol   Not being able to dye my hair is one of the things i will not be happy about but i'll deal with grays and two-toned hair to get rid of even some of these symptoms!

Oh I know...I wish my was curly,....but it  is normal to lose hair...I saw on Dr Oz he said to pick a small cluster and yank...u should get one or two hairs that come out easily...if u get more, it could be an underlying issue that needs attention like a thyroid  condition......

lol jorlex..I'm 33 too maybe it's the dreaded age!!

Selma...lucky for me..I grow hair as fast as I lose it thank goodness..my NS was amazed at how much hair I grew back in two weeks!! Plus it's curly so it looks fuller than it is. However, it is still concerning when I pull a handful out each time I shower!
