Hi Stace1997  ,I can't sleep and have just read your post about dying your hair,as you have not long finished chemotherapy in December 2021,my advice to you would wait. I waited the full 6 monthes, I was a hairdresser and know the effects dying your hair ,it in itself can damage your hair and with all that chemotherapy does to it,I wouldnt risk it. I just wore my wigs when going out,and head wear in doors like turbans,and scarfs and hats ecspecialy made for people who had ,had chemotherapy.  

My friend on the other hand only waited 3 months, but she went to Holland and Brett's health shop,and asked the staff in thier and they helped her choose a semi permanent dye,that had no peroxide in it.My friends hair was ok using the dye she bought from there. 

I also know you can get shampoo  to help your hair grow back t quicker and thicker. I bought some from boots the chemist, they have a good selection ,also try amazon .

I know how devasting losing your hair is,and it not growing back the same colour or texture it used to be. I knew mine would grow back grey/white as I did have to colour it  before,but although I waa warned about the chemotherapy curl,I wasn't prepared for that lol,my air was awful curls sticking out all.ovet the place and it felt and looked frizzy. It's a lot better now, I finished my chemotherapy in December 2020,and my Radiotherapy in March 2021.

I'm still having health issues ,I've found another lump in same breast, my cancer nurse doesn't think it's  anything to worry about,but said she can't be 100% sure it's not ,plus I have lymphedema in my right arm hand plus trigger thumb in that hand as well. Plus I have an Impingement, and rotator cuff inflammation and arthritis in my right shoulder and I've developed planta facitus  in my left heel.plus I've had a biobsy taken on my vulva on  the 8th December 2021,and it's come back that I have Vin3, pre cancerous cells.My oncologist is writing to my gp and me but is just going to monitor it and see me in clinic in 3  months time , but my gp had said as it was vin3 and not vin 1 or vin 2, she didn't think my gynecologist would just leave it and monitor it. I'm not happy about it being left ,and moniterd hence me not sleeping.

But I'll talk to my gp as soon as I can and see whst she says as I know she told me there was a cream that the gynecologist coukd have prescribed, and it works on the immune system to strengthen it,and hopefully stop the vin 3.

But enough of my worries ,I hope I've helped you decode on when to dye your hair. Good luck with evetything, stay safe and well .
