when is it safe to dye my hair?

Hi Everyone,

 i had my rny surgery on Aug 10Th and I just passed my two month mark, I'm doing great. I'm trying to keep my protein up and I'm finding it easier to exercise now that I've dropped some of the weight off my joints.

I have not lost any hair, I've heard that hair loss starts at the 3month point and I'm too scared of loosing what I've got. I also want to dye my hair as the last time i dyed it was in march and its long long grown out. But I'm confused as i do not want to stress the hair follicles already more than they have been.

Any suggestions?

Hello My sis in law is a stylist. Before I had my surgery she straightened my hair (always seemed to keep a perm) because she said the med for surgery could make my hair freezy. I had this done about a month before. Then like you when it was time to color I was very worried she assured me everything would be fine She colored my hair around 7 or 8 weeks out. Everything went just fine. I am very picky about my hair and take VERY good care of it. Like you were saying your hair will probably start falling out around the three month mark, EVERYTHING will be OK

I bit the bullet and dyed my hair 3 weeks out I had it done at a salon, though.

I plan to cut it short if it starts falling out, which should slow it a bit. I don't think a professional coloring every 8 weeks or so will speed it up too much.
