Kidney transplant

I had a kidney transplant nearly 3 years ago. I would like to treat my hair to a wash-in dye, the type that washes after about 6 weeks but I'm not sure this will be OK due to the anti rejection drugs I'm taking. Any advise would be welcome

I would do my own research, then ask both my nephrologist and transplant doctor. That combo of information should be helpful to you.

It's fine to dye your hair. I am 24 years post transplant and color my hair every 6 weeks or so. You don't absorb the hair dye, colors your hair and stays on your hair... My doctor said there are no issues with hair dye. Always double check with your nephrologist with all things.
