Hi, I take HU 1000g per day, I color my hair regularly without any problems, no difference with or without HU.

Hi Ela, yes you can, but you must do a patch test first, even if you have used the product before, just to make sure it is still ok for you. Maz

Yep! I have two colours on my hair, so fine. But make sure you do the skin test or get your hairdresser to do skin test. just to make sure, even if you have had colour for a long time it is best to make sure when taking Hydroxycarbamide, but have had no problems and have been taking it for five years now.

Oh yes! There are some things a girl’s just gotta do. 🤣🤣. The only thing I’ve found nowadays is that sometimes my skin / scalp pricks terribly while I sit there waiting for the colour to work it’s magic. I think it’s made worse because one of the hairdressers tends to put the colour prep very low on the hair line where it sits wet on my skin. Have got her to stop that. And hey, you’re supposed to suffer for beauty!

Meds can deposit in the hair do a test strip to see what it does. Professionally colored or home product?

Make sure you have a test first, I have 3 colours in my hair via foils, haven't had any problems.

Thank you everyone. My hair is finally coloured. No more grey hair( for a while) .

My hairdresser recommended slightly milder hair dye ...which worked 🙂🙂🙂.
