I dye my hair regularly.

I just got back from my hairdresser without a single grey hair!

I have tried to find conclusive studies on the cancer risks of hair dye, but didn't find anything that scared me into not coloring my hair. She does use natural products that are specially made for her, but of course there's chemicals too. Sometimes it's better to look good than to feel good😄

Yes I continue to dye my hair usually every 8 weeks - it makes me look and feel good! The only change made since I started Ibrance...my hairdresser uses Scwartzkopf brand - she switched from permanent color to their Essensity line which is oil vs ammonia based so it’s gentler on the scalp.

Every three weeks...more often than my shots for MBC!!!

I just had my hair cut to my shoulders, dyed and then whole head highlighted. Didn't think about the cancer at all.

I already have stage iv so why worry now? I needed a pick me up and it was just the thing I needed and I walked out feeling so much better.

I colour my hair every few months. Was not told that I could not.

I use a wash in dye. Lasts about 8 weeks. I’m on Ibrance. Don’t use a hairdryer or curling tongs and brush your hair gently. You can buy organic dyes.
