Hair question

But like I said, my hair dresser, here's what they said.....I was like, I just had wls in september, and I wanted to get my hair dyed......They were like......do we have a waiver she can sign" They said they had another lady who had wls.....her hair was falling out and also turning gray since the surgery...... they were scared so i was also... they told me to wait til spring...

I had my hair dyed about 6wks ago and have an appointment to do it again this week.. no adverse effects! mandy

Thanks......everyone for their advice I really needed it

Heidi, I even messed up my hair color and had to fix it 3 times in 2 days. That is enough for normal hair to fall out and really it didn't damage mine. And I have colored it once since then. Quite the funky color I had goin on. Mine hair loss now has really slowed also, now I just have fly away little new hairs coming in. Christine

Heidi, Last time I dyed my hair I lost so much hair even my DH was nervous. But it really isn't noticeable. I color my hair every 4 weeks and I'm not bald yet, so I think you'll be okay. Micha

I got my hair premed about 3 months after WLS and did fine. I also just got my hair dyed a few weeks back have not had any proplems with that either. Sarah 264/178/150ish

Hi Heidi - I experienced a lot of hair loss, and once the loss slowed down, what has come in is even finer than before. I finally got brave and dyed it - I my case it actually helped give it more body. It has seemed to fade a little faster, but I dyed it 3 weeks ago and it does not appear to have had an ill effects. All best, Mary Mc

Heidi, I have had a perm done once a year, for about 28 years, give or take due to pregnancies. I had my yearly perm last month. The ONLY bad thing was my Hairdresser, told me I had to cut more than 6 inches off to keep it healthy, she told me less weight would help it. To be honest NO ONE, except me, her and the vaccuum has notice my hair loss. I say go for it... Tanya L 358/263/185

I was told to get the over the counter amonia free hair dye until my hair stop falling out and got healthy. Hope this helps. Thank god mine has slowed down falling out I was getting really thin!!! Whew!!

I stopped my hair loss by taking 1000mcg of Biotin and one standard zinc everyday about two months ago. I continue to dye my hair since surgery without any problems. Good luck! ***Shauna***
