Hair dye

[misswinky34]

I’ve been told by the endo that hypothyroid can alter colour pigments and hair colouring is not advised... 🤔 does anyone else colour their hair? Successfully?

[MaisieGray]

I've been colouring my hair for longer than I've been hypothyroid, and that's 40 yrs. I've been black, blue, red, pink ......... My latest colour was rose gold. I've never had a problem. Perhaps he once read something somewhere, and hasn't updated his knowledge base with regard to the really excellent colourants on the market nowadays.

Yes, I colour mine and have no intention of stopping. I just use henna and indigo.

As one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism is hair greying early, I should think the world is full of hypos with coloured hair. I coloured mine for decades. I've had a few years of white/grey and now come shocking pink because I hate being white and invisible. Never had a problem with the pigments.

Is 48 considered early to grey ? I am Hypo and the biggest thing that bothers me is the fatigue.

I've dyed, bleached and coloured my hair through the rainbow over the decades (original '77 punk! ) and have never had a problem pre or post hypo diagnosis.

Currently use semi-permanent colourants as it produces less of an obvious difference when my grey roots show through!

I'm currently fuchsia pink in semi-permanent colour. You can't miss me coming.

Awesome, really glad I asked! Thanks everyone x

I have regular blonde highlights, the colour is fine and I feel better than when it’s left mousy streaked with grey!

I regularly coloured my hair from the age of 17 until late 20's. Then started to colour it again when I was 40. Now for the past 8 years I have not been able to colour it due to change from Goldshield Eltroxin Levothyroxine, as I can taste the bleach in my mouth a few hours after having it coloured. I hate being grey/salt and pepper.

Hi, just wanted to say that I use water-based hair colours from danielfieldmailorder.co.uk/

No nasty bleach.

[nightingale-56 in reply to LuckyKat]

I can still taste shampoo in my mouth, so will have to give this a bit more time and thought before I try it. thanks for letting me know though.

nightingale-56 Grey/salt and pepper nooooo! Its silver and gold j_bee and I love mine!

I've colored & highlighted mine for years without a problem. Never heard this before. I now use a henna because I don't want the chemicals on me & going down the drain. Love henna because it doesn't seem to fade, I can do it myself & leaves my hair in great condition. What I use is just henna & indigo (for brown) without metallic salts & other chemicals added to some henna.

I have never had any problems in the 41 years I have been dying my hair. Currently use an oil based dye with great results.

I am hypothyroid but I colored my hairs after 3 to 4 months. I use Regenepure products one of my friends suggest me about this. After using their hair products I dont have any skin allergy yet because their products are made from original products. If you wanna try then go on reecoupons.com/view/regenepure
