Hello
Does anyone know if it's ok to have my hair highlighted? I'm 4 weeks post RT. I would really like to have my hair done!
Thanks
Vicky

Hello Vicky

If your scalp wasn't within the radiotherapy area, it should be fine. Just avoid the affected areas.

Best wishes

Hi Dr Joshi
Thanks for that. I do have a big bald patch at the back of my head but my hair covers it! My highlights will only be on the top so should be ok - I'll go for a patch test first!
Thanks again!
Vicky
