Hair Dye

SLC74
Offline

Hi , I am in-between chemo at the moment the last round I had was 8 weeks ago. I'm due to restart again in two weeks . I was lucky that I didn't loose my hair even though I was told I would. Can anyone recommend a hair dye please, as I would like it to be fresh for the next round , they have said I won't loose my hair this time ..thank you 

  • Hi SLC74 and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    As you'll see on our website it isn't a good idea to use hair dye during chemo or around 6 months after finishing chemo as your hair is still rather fragile at this point and more prone to damage.

    I hope this helps but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, you can contact them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

    We're thinking of you SLC74 and wishing you all the best with your next round of chemo.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
