I hope my question does not seem trivial or insensitive to those of you with pain or discomfort. I have been taking hydroxy for three weeks now and so far thankfully no side effects other than tiredness. I have a smattering of grey hair and get by with a touch up at the hairdressers about every three months. I am a little concerned re using colour on my hair now. Are there certain types of colour that are safe as I know many are linked to cancer? I may have to take the plunge and go gracefully grey.

Hi Fionnuaghla, you can use hair colours as long as you and your hairdresser follow the instructions about strand tests etc. I constantly colour my hair, using bleach and then dyes, it's 5 different shades of blue, so you carry on dying your hair. Best wishes, Maz
Thank you so much Maz. Glad to hear I can continue. Five shades of blue eh, sounds great. I look forward to seeing you and your hair sometime.
Great news Maz because I am not keen to go grey!!!! Thanks Lyn
you know Maz I never noticed your hair colouring on your tiny little picture. Now you mention the colour I have looked and it looks gorgeous. Let's have a bigger pic so we can see the full effect as it may prompt me to get adventurous. I don't cover my ever increasing grey but I do have a lot of highlights in to blend it in to my hair more. I reckon the sucker is going to take over eventually but only when I say lol xx
Hi Jilly, actually my hair colour in the picture on here is 3 different shades of purple, I am now in my blue phase, I will put up a picture for you. As you can probably guess, I don't like to be normal!!! Maz x x
Hi Fionnuaghla, I have ET and colour my hair two colours in fact, have to keep up appearances I say, my hairdresser did what Maz told me to do and all was fine, I have my colour done every four weeks, and make sure I use good products to wash my hair to keep it in good condition, so go for it 😃
I have ET and take HU and have my hair coloured regularly at the hairdressers. I used to colour it myself but found the home colours didn't seem to take as well once I was on the HU. Ihave 3 colours on my hair, I have them done via foils so I'm not getting colour on my scalp. I have it done every few weeks, it's a nice treat to have someone else do my hair. I use good quality shampoo and conditioner too. Having ET is a good excuse for the occasional pampering session!! 😄
Best wishes

hi
I used to have highlights in my hair but since taking meds have found my already sensitive (for years) skin is now more sensitive and can't do them anymore. I am also more sensitive to the sun and need a stronger sun factor (not abad thing)
So if you can carry on with your colouring, me ... My highlights are veering on the silver side now 😏
Good luck
Helen
Hi. I have been on Hydroxy for four years now and colour my hair all the time.

So glad you cleared that up Maz i was also worried about the hair dyeing. Glad to hear.
My doc says HU causes us to be at greater risk of sun damage. & skin cancer. So I try to be careful.
