How long after surgery did you perm or color your hair?

I am five months out and my hair is still   falling (praying it will stop soon) and my gray  hair is kicking my   butt  lolol  Its like it keeps  growing out   YIKES

I don't know either. I think I am going to wait till mine stops falling out as I don't want to cause more damage. My hair just started coming out around 6 months post op, so hopefully by the 9 month mark it will stop and I can get rid of the grays! :) Hang in there..eventually we will be back to normal colored hair.. ha ha.... I almost forgot what it looked like as I normally change hair color 3-4 times a year (with the seasons I guess!)


151lbs lost since surgery.  36lbs pre-surgery !

I continued to color my hair (professionally in a salon) all the way through my journey. I stopped perming it because I didn't want to stress it, and found that I like it better not permed!

I experienced some hair loss, but it was temporary. It did grow back.

Hello,
I am a hairstylist, go to the salon and get yourself fixed up, you are fine to do it now.
Hugs, Robin

oohh I could never go 5 months without coloring my hair. LOL  Go get yourself fixed up.  It'll make you feel better about the hair loss.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore,
is not an act but a habit.

I NEVER stopped doing my hair, even when it was falling out the worst.  I went to my hairstylist and got it done.  I COULD NOT or WOULD NOT go that long without doing my hair..........

Call your stylist and make an appoinment!!  LOL!

I used the good old Loreal $8 a box stuff then and now.  I've been doing it myself for years.  Sometimes a shorter cut helps a lot during the really thin stage.  That's what I did, and have since grown it back out, now that it's full again.
