I have heard different things about coloring your "new" hair. I have been coloring my hair for years because of gray so I just know it is going to come back gray. I was just talking to my hair dresser today about when I can get it colored and she said anytime. Now I have read you have to wait 6 months and I have read you have to wait one year. I will wear a wig before I will be seen publicly with gray hair. I don't mind it being short but do not want to be gray.

Does anybody color their hair? If so how long did you wait?

I colored my hair BC, but do not now. Regardless of the hair color product, they contain many chemicals that contribute to the toxic burden in the body, which contributes to cancer risk. Even my medical oncologist stopped coloring her hair, citing that the chemicals are an unnecessary addition to cancer risk.

It's natural and doesn't contain chemicals. It comes in many colors.
