Does anyone know if it is a definite no to colour your hair after radiation to the neck / back of head area.

Or if there is a time limit ?

My mum must be feeling better !!! Smiler

Hi Winnie,
I asked my team about that one. I've been really grey/white since my early twenties.
I use "Tints of Nature" one from a local health food shop. Ammonia, resorcinol and paraben free.
Was told to do a reaction test first and if all was OK could not see any reason not to go ahead and use it. Check with the team or cancer nurse first to be sure but I have not had any problems so far.
