    I was soo scared to color my hair because it was in terrible shape and falling out but I needed to so I did and nothing bad happened. It fell out the same as it had been. I waited until I was 3 1/2 months out and now I color it once a month because I cant make my mind up which color I like the most.

    My cousin's hair loss mostly stopped about 6 months out when she cut her hair short. She colors her hair every 4 week with no exception and didn't mention it having any kind of adverse affect.

    Good luck to you!!

    I have highlighted my hair twice since surgery and experienced a bit more breakage than normal. The color also appears to be a bit duller too.
