Can the white hair regrowth be dyed /coloured? Is the new grown hair more delicate than one's normal hair?

If you feel you need to wear a wig - I'm very self-conscious about the large bald patches on the back of my head - do you need to have your hair shaved off?

Hi Gadget

I've never tried to dye the white hair but I did shave my hair off for wearing wigs. Only because I find it more comfortable. Getting rid of your hair is a very personal choice tho. Nobody knows how you feel about your hair under your wig apart from you and if you want to keep your hair it's entirely your choice. Some people do find that it gives them control over their hairloss though especially when it's falling out and I found that it helped me.

Hope you find a comfortable solution xx
