Hey All,
Just a girlie question.....Had my transplant 3 months now. Really want to pamper myself is it ok to get my hair coloured, waxing, facials , pedicure n manicure etc . How soon did any of you girls start doing all this ?
-
I did my hair all the way through the process, and after both transplants. I did not get my nails done for 6 months, and then I bought my own manicure set. Always be very careful when getting your nails done with a transplant. You can get a very ugly infection if someone is not using sanitary techniques. I suggest getting your own manicure set.
Enjoy!!!

Hair dye for me at 4 months - only waited that long because I was too sick to think about it before. If mine had gone according to plan, it would have been more like 3 weeks. . .
-
I was told I could color my hair a few weeks after, but they told me to stay away for very very black dyes.

I had my transplant almost 3 months ago.....I think I had my hair colored at about 6 weeks. I had a mani - pedi at 2 months ( bought my own files, buffers, and pumice stones) and I watched them get everything else out of the autoclave sanitizer. I go to a spa to get my nails done...I think it's a little safer than the strip mall nail salons.
-
I still color my hair - I am on PD. I do go to the salon to get it done. I use to use a box but way too messy. I don't want to get anything on my cath.
Whats up with black dyes?? My hair is black.....my stylist uses a "dark brown"
-
I don't really remember the reason. I wasn't going dark so I didn't really pay attention. If you have a good cooridinator they are very helpful with questions.
-
I waited a few months after transplant for highlights....only because I wasn't sure until that point that I was going to have any hair left! :o
-
Finally did my colour yest ....feel great. Did not do the mani/pedi want to buy my own stuff so can use everytime as will be sure its clean ! My hair n face is so dry cannot believe it. Plan to do a facial to help with the dryness.
Thanks girls for ur posts . :grouphug;
