Long Island, NY

I was wondering if I can color my hair when it’s a few inches. My hair is salt and pepper color now. I’m not used to it and truthfully I don’t like it on me. All my life, I’ve been a brunette. My Mom, who will be 94 next month, is a brunette. Truthfully,
I look older than she does, if I don’t wear my wig. Any suggestions? Any beauticians out there can recommend any information
for me. Thank you in advance, shipmates. Have a pleasant evening,

Speaking as a man if my wife had MM instead of me, I know I wouldn't care what color her hair was or how old she looked, as long as I still had her alive to share her life with me. I know it would make you feel better to get your color back but think about the ones that love you and just want a healthy mom, Nana, Sis, or sugar britches. Why risk the chemical exposure when you have come so far? Love thy self!!!

Bruce440 my hair came back in straight and black from being curly and brown and it still hasn’t gone back as curly or as brown as it was before my SCT. I just let my white and grey hair grow because I earned everyone of those grey hairs lol.

When my hair grew back it was so curly and tight.My hairdresser told me it would take three hair cuts until it went back to normal. It was true but my hair is got a lot of grey now. I haven’t colored my hair because I feel like it blends well . My mom is 84 and still colors her hair.So she doesn’t like that I don’t color it. But I like it. I would love it even more if it turns white. Take Care Keep the Faith.

I say go for it! My hair was salt and pepper too when it started to grow back as well as curly. I still have the curls and it took almost 2 years to get the length back. I started coloring after 1 year. I like the blonde highlights.
