7 months/hair question

Hiya All, I am 7 months out and I am losing a little hair, nothing major. I want to get a new look, like highlight and cut my hair. Does anyone know if the bleach will affect my hair in anyway or should I wait to try something like highlighting? Take care, Geraldine

Even when my hair was falling out the most around 4 months, I got my color and highlights done. Then again, I have a lot of hair and it's pretty healthy. If your hair is thin, I would wait. Ask your hairdresser, she knows your hair best.

I am 7 months out and losing my hair BIG time. I had blonde hair and recently colored it auburn. I have had a lot of compliments. The darker color has actually made my hair look thicker. It would probably be best to consult your hair dresser but I just wanted to give you my 2 cents worth.

Thank you Jennifer and Cindy for responding. I guess I am just a little paranoid, my hairdresser wanted me to ask around because she was unsure too.......ps jennifer, u had your surgery 1 day after mine

I had started losing hair a couple months ago, thank goodness it slowed down, and now I can feel the little buds comin back in. While it was shedding I got deep conditioning every 2 weeks from my hairdresser, and refrained from any coloring, was too scared of the chemicals. I know you want a new color, what about using rinse for a few months until the shedding stops? Color rinses are more gentle, they just fade out faster. Sebastian makes a great rinse and you can buy it in some drugstores. Whatever you decide, good luck

I WAS HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH MY HAIR SO i KEPT IT IN A PONY TAIL. It was shedding terribly, but at this point it is growing back. I am so sick of the ponytail. The ponytail was weave or extensions whatever you wanna call it fake hair, i was sick and tired of the bobby pins. I cut all my hair off and got a rinse. I have gotten rave reviews on the cut. Halle berry short, not Shenay Oconnor short. Try alternatives to the bleach first and then work your way up to that

My big hairloss time was months 3 to about 7. It's finally stopped and is beginning to grow back in. I had pretty thick hair before. I was shocked when new hairdresser started talking to me about people with fine, thin hair. I didn't know he was talking about me at first. I colored my hair the whole time and it didn't seem to make matters worse. Terri
