Was discussing this with my mom recently. She said back in the day if you were having any kind of anesthesia, you DID NOT under any cir****tance put chemicals in your hair for about 6 months post-op. This included relaxers and dye.

Her theory is this is why our hair sheds so much post-op??

Not sure if there is any merit to it, but I will be going natural for a while. Better err on the side of caution.

I'm guessing that the less stress that you put on your hair can only help.  Take a look at this journal article.  Maybe it will shed some light on the situation.

Hey Girl Friend,

I've been dilligent about less stress on my hair since surgery, except for color.  The little grey I have is all up front so I still use color religiously every six weeks or so.  

My hair is natural and I have not flat ironed or blow dried at all post op.  There is some thining, but biotin has helped and it works surprisingly quick.

I'll definitely add biotin to my post op regime. Does it come in a non capsule form. I can't have capsules post op
